保时捷Panamera从来就不是一款造型顺滑的车型,不过保时捷希望下一代Panamera能变得更圆润,最近谍照记者就拍到了正在进行寒冷气候测试的原型车。虽然该车仍然一眼就可以辨认出来，但设计者还是赋予了新车更具曲线感的车身和重新设计的车尾。另外还可以看到前脸采用渐进式改款，轮拱带有散热孔，车尾采用四排气尾管。虽然保时捷不愿透露新车细节，但预计新车将采用结合铝制材料和高强度钢材的MSB平台。先前有报道称，采用该平台后，新车重量将降低91公斤。目前新车动力系统还未最终确定，但保时捷总工程师Wolfgang Hatz先前表示，该车将搭载新的V6和V8引擎，预计输出功率将超过老款车。第二代Panamera将于明年在德国莱比锡投产，因此将在未来几个内发布。

 

2016 Porsche Panamera shows off its sleeker shape in new spy photos

The Porsche Panamera has never been a looker but the company is hoping to improve that with the next-generation model which was recently caught undergoing cold weather testing.

While the prototype looks instantly recognizable, designers have given the model more curvaceous body work and a redesigned rear end. We can also see an evolutionary front fascia, ventilated front fenders and a four-tailpipe exhaust system.

 

Porsche has remained relatively tight-lipped about the model but it is expected to ride on the MSB platform that features a combination of aluminum and high-strength steel. Nothing is official but previous reports have suggested the platform could enable the Panamera to weigh up to 200 lbs (91 kg) less than its predecessor.

 

Engine options also remain unconfirmed but Porsche chief engineer Wolfgang Hatz has previously suggested the car will be offered with new V6 and V8 engines. There's no word on specifications but the engines are expected to more powerful than their predecessors.

 

The second-generation Porsche Panamera will be built in Leipzig, Germany in 2016 so expect to learn more in the coming months.
