RPM flutter at steady speed

On closing the trunk -- on the 2014-2016 models, if you hold the truck raise button on the drivers door panel the hatch will close. You have to hold the button until the hatch fully closes (it's not auto close). I would expect the new model to behave in the same manner.

I assume nothing new with the issue in your case?

RE: RPM flutter at steady speed
I noticed the same thing when I purchased my 'new to me' 2012 Panamera 4 last month. A service manager and two separate service tech's (from different Porsche dealers) all have said that it is normal. Interested to hear if you have learned otherwise.

I just noticed it yesterday on my 2010 PTT. Cruise control, steady state, bounces only ever so slightly. At first I thought my eyes were playing tricks... but I'm not giving it any 2nd thoughts. It has 85k miles on it and drives fine - not going to make an issue out of nothing. If it was serious would have already manifested itself. So stop panicking and enjoy the car

I have the same problem. 2011 Panamera Base. I changed the spark plugs, AOS, a cracked vent hose, cleaned the valves and still have the same problem. At this point I am just going to assume its normal.

What about staying on topic of this thread? Anyone else experience tach needle flutter when car is on?
- If you do, is it at idle only?
- Is it while driving?
- How much flutter do you see?
These will help the OP and others, remainder of items are for different threads (many up and discussed already).

As far as my 2007 cayman s goes....rpms surge a bit when in automatic mode...usually about 2000 rpms, usually in 4th or 5th and only when residential area slower speeds, not really getting on the throttle...mine does not do it in manual mode, going thru the gears

Mine turned out to be the torque converter slipping a bit. Apparently they can glaze over. First did the valve body rebuild and didn’t totally cure it but the torque converter did the trick...hope this helps

IF you have a 971, there is a software update to the fuel control module (or something along those lines) regarding oil pressure at low RPMs. My car was sputtering at IDLE and low RPMs on occasion and it was corrected.
