据外媒报道,第二代保时捷Panamera将搭载全新V6和V8引擎。新车将采用MSB平台，而据英国汽车杂志《Autocar》报道，这两台新引擎将比先前大众提供的引擎更具运动特性。保时捷目前正在开发这两台引擎，未来将搭载在后驱和全驱车型上。新车结构将采用高刚性钢制和铝制材料，这将使新车更轻，也更灵活。未来的宾利车型也有可能将采用这一结构，但该品牌还考虑采用奥迪的MLB平台，而下一代奥迪A4到A8车型都将利用该平台。虽然保时捷车型将更突出运动特性和轻量化，而宾利车则更高一些。保时捷还在对扩展Panamera家族进行可行性研究，未来考虑推出双门版和软顶或硬度敞篷版。虽然这些车不会马上开发，但保时捷会尽最大限度利用这一平台开发更多衍生车型。第二代Panamera很可能会在2016年下半年发布，随后将于2017年上市。

 

Next-gen Porsche Panamera to feature newly developed V6 and V8 engines

The second generation of the Porsche Panamera is said to come with all-new V6 and V8 engines.

 

It will ride on the MSB platform and according to Autocar these two new engines will be sportier than Volkswagen offerings. Porsche is leading the development of both motors which will be offered in rear- and all-wheel drive configurations. The architecture will make use of high-strength steel and aluminum which should make the new Panamera lighter and more agile.

 

The same structure could also find its way in future Bentley models but the British marque is also taking into consideration using Audi's MLB structure that the Ingolstadt-based automaker plans on using for next-gen A4 through A8 models. While the Porsche will be sportier and lower, Bentley's models will be a bit taller.

 

Porsche is also analyzing the prospects of expanding the Panamera family with a two-door variant that has a soft and/or hard top roof. Even though such derivatives probably won't be available from day one, the platform has been created in such a way to allow Porsche add these variants later on.

 

The second-gen Porsche Panamera will likely be unveiled in the second half of 2016 before going on sale later that year or early 2017.
