Mark your calendars! The all-new Porsche Panamera will make its world premiere on 24 November 2023. Where exactly? At the Icons of Porsche festival in Dubai. The visitors, however, will only get to see the sports saloon in the flesh between 25-26 November 2023.
With just over two months left for the D day, Porsche has revealed a few mouth-watering details about the upcoming car. For instance, for the first time, the new-gen Panamera will be available with an optional chassis with active damper control. As standard, the four-door model will boast a semi-active chassis with new two-valve shock absorbers. A new PDK (dual-clutch transmission) is also in the mix.
Obviously, the new Porsche Panamera will also take the PHEV route. The third-gen derivative with two engines will offer increased electric range and shorter charging times.
