Porsche Panamera may come in diesel and a targa-top
It’s already confirmed that the Porsche Panamera will be available as a hybrid, but according to an AutoWeek source that attended a focus group in California this week, the German automaker could be consider further variants of its first sedan.

First is a diesel version of the Panamera which will mostly likely borrow the same 3.0L V6 TDI diesel engine from the recently announced for the Porsche Cayenne Diesel. It is also reported that Porsche will borrow other diesel Audi engines including a 4.2L V8 diesel and the 6.0L V12 found in the R8 TDI Concept we saw at Detroit and Geneva.

More efficient power-trains and outstanding performance will be essential in moving (even a minimum of) these uber-sedans, as I truly feel that Porsche has completely botched the styling here.

We'll see soon enough...

First the minivan (cayenne), now the 4 dr poser car. Why? Porsche builds great super cars. Can't that be enough. Is the Porsche hatchback far behind?
On top of all this, the car is ugly!
What they need is a prius fighter, right.

A horrendous looking car, with a non Porsche engine. A complete betrayal to the brand. PORSCHE WAKE UP.

I would rather a hybrid Porsche, at least the engine would sound good. I'm a diesel fan but they still don't sound anything like performance engines.

yeah, the audi r10 and peugeot 908 aren't performance cars.

No, they're race cars. And diesel still doesn't sound good, no matter how you dress it up. Even the V8 diesels sound diesely, no V8 rumble and burble.

sorry, rupe, i missed the point being about sound.

still can't say i agree with your thinking, but if the tenor is a big criteria for you then enjoy your... hybrid?!

I feel a Porsche engine needs to be special, and as good as that 3.0 tdi is, it isn't. It's used in everything from A4 to Q7 to Touareg and Phaeton. A Porsche 3.6 flat 6 with some kind of hybrid system would be better, I feel.
