This could be excellent news for those whom appreciate the Panamera but could never get to grips with its looks. Apparently, Porsche is looking to create several derivatives of the next-gen model, the most likely of which being one similar to the Sport Turismo concept (pictured).
A previous report suggested they were not making variations of it, but now another one from AutoExpress says otherwise. It quotes Porsche’s head of research and development, Wolfgang Hatz, who said:
“First of all we are developing at the moment a new Panamera, that is true, you’ve probably already seen picture of the first prototypes. What we have designed is an entirely new car with a new platform. We have prepared it for a lot of derivatives, personally I like very much the Sport Turismo, I love this car. But there is a good chance for more derivatives.”
As far as unequivocal statements go, this one is a fair example of that. He concluded that it “could be convertible, could be Sport Turismo and now we have to decide which is the one that hits our needs.” The drop-top seems the least likely to appear, as the brand already sells enough of them according to the exec.
