The 2017 Porsche Panamera recently breezed through the streets of Berlin, showing off its sleek new design months before its official unveiling to the auto world.
In its recent appearance in Germany's capital, the new Panamera flaunts its sporty look. Autogespot gushed about how dynamic the vehicle looks than its predecessor.
Porsche takes pride in the design overhaul made on the 2017 Porsche Panamera. Speaking to Kelly Blue Book or KBB, brand executive Detlev von Platen said that "some liked [the first iteration of the sedan], some didn't like it."
This won't be the case in the 2017 Porsche Panamera. The company did a lot of work on the rear, which contributed to the overall aesthetic improvement of the flagship sedan,
With the rear roofline lower and the rear end a tad higher with a rear window screaming Porsche all over, the 2017 Porsche Panamera is the portrait of a dreamy car.
The interior of the new Panamera was not left untouched. Keeping up the mobile technology, two 7-inch LCDs now sandwiches the analog tachometer, which KBB notes serves as the sole reminder of how its predecessor looked.
The dash comes with a 12.3-inch touchscreen where much of the control panel of the 2017 Porsche Panamera will now be accessed.
The buttons beneath the main screen are now a mix of physical and capacitive ones, the finishing touch for the ultra-modern interior look of the new Panamera.
While the controls have changed, the interior featured 40:20:40 split folding rear seatbacks, making for enough in the backseat and cargo, much like its generous predecessor.
The 2017 Porsche Panamera comes in two versions. With a starting price of $99,900, the first one is the Panamera 4S, which features a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6.
It boasts a horsepower of 440, which should make for an impressive 0-60 miles per hour run in 4.0 seconds with the top speed reaching 180 mph.
Next year's version of the Panamera Turbo, priced at $146,900, comes with a new twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 flaunting an impressive 550 horsepower running 0-60 (top speed at 190 mph) within 3.4 seconds.
The 2017 Porsche Panamera will be released in the United States this January.
