The 2024 Porsche Panamera is said to come with hybrid power although details are still shady. The vehicle is designed to be as fast as possible, mimicking the print ad Kills Bugs Fast for 993 Turbo line. But during the testing stage at Nurburgring, the vehicle does deliver the satisfying performance, proving a point that the Panamera has something in store.
The Updated Plan
If anyone remembers the Kills Bugs Fast ad (designed for 993 Turbo), it basically shows that the car is super fast that it ‘collects’ bugs along its drive. Well, Porsche takes the concept to the letter, creating a car that isn’t only fast, but also effective and reliable. Basically, if Porsche does create this performance modern ride, it would be a bad news for the entire insect kingdom.
Powertrain and Performance
The problem with the purists is the fact that they don’t really like the Panamera. However, if you have to be honest, this five door liftback vehicle is punchier and more powerful that the 911 Turbo (especially the 992 generation). And then, there is the fact that there would be a hybrid version, which purists really dislike.
The range topping hybrid version is said to be able to generate 690 hp (at 6,000 rpm) and also 870 Nm of torque (set between 1,400 rpm and 5,500 rpm). This is definitely impressive, considering that it is also a hybrid version with punchy quality. In the end, you can expect a solid super ride that doesn’t only deserve respect, but also admiration.
About the Panamera
The second gen Panamera is internally known as the 971, and Porsche has the plan to replace the vehicle with the 972. They are going to do it in 2023, designed as the 2024 model. The 972 alone has been spotted going through testing stage in one of the fastest tracks in the world, and the numbers of collected bugs have been a proof that the new Panamera does have the capacity and the ability to perform quite perfectly. Now the question is: will Porsche build it as an extensive redesign or a ground up project?
The 2024 Porsche Panamera seems to be using the MSB (Modularer Standardantriebsbaukasten) platform, which was first used by 971. The same platform was also used by Bentley Continental GT as well as the Flying Spur. We should hear more about this platform, including layout and construction, along with the exterior and interior design.
Q and A
Q: Will Porsche still make the internal combustion engine?
A: It seems so. There is a rumor that the 2024 model would be coming with both gas and also hybrid version, but it’s said that future Panamera would be completely hybrid and even pure electric. It’s even said that the 2024 Panamera would be the last one with internal combustion unit.
Q: When was this second gen Panamera released?
A: The vehicle first debuted in 2017 and it had got an update in 2021.
Q: Does it mean that the 2024 Panamera would be the third gen of the lineup?
A: It’s possible. But since we don’t really know for sure, let’s wait until we get complete official confirmation about 2024 Porsche Panamera.
