Default Panamera Test Mule Photos.

NOT MY PHOTOS, Saw them on FB from user RC LEE. Was spotted at the Sheraton Grand at Wild Horse Pass in AZ. Once again NOT my photos but I thought they should be posted here as I don't see them.

Looks like the Panny is adapting the new taillight design from the 24 Cayenne.

Ugh...Center lock wheels. Otherwise looks like mostly front/rear end cosmetic changes and I'm sure lots of technology changes too. Maybe it will premiere an all new interior like Porsche did for the 2017 Panamera that then filtered down over the following years into the other models.
What's going on with the C-pillar, wonder what they are hiding there.

The interior mustve been covered up. In that first pic you can see cloth over the wheel and seats.

Yea basically copy/paste from the 2024 Cayenne for both the front and rear in my opinion.

Does Porsche just like using center lock wheels for test cars maybe? I can't imagine why they would put that on a Panamera.
Interior will probably look like the same as the new 2024 Cayenne.

The C-Pillar... hmm I'm gonna guess they made that chrome trim end in a more tapered and sharp edge rather than the current rounded edge. Make it more sporty/aggressive.

I could see them putting those on the higher trim levels like GTS and up. They are a PITA if you are the sort of person who likes to work on your own car, like rotate your own tires or swap out your own winter wheels. Although less of a PITA than having them on a track day car, which really sucks.

They will destroy the interior, same as they did with Cayenne.

It will be more Tycan like, cheap and plastic with a half assembled digital dashboard and no gear lever.

^Interior get dashboard scallop cut out above the digital instrument display. Don't like the aesthetics of this on Cayenne 9Y0.2. Braun shaver shift lever also on display. Also less expensive (aka cheaper) steering wheel and drive mode ****. Cayenne posters agree lots of corner cutting and cheapening in the interior of 9Y0.2, looks to be similar for 971.2.

I don't think the steering wheel changed. Its the same one with the drive mode **** that has no lights that the 971 has had since that 2021 update. Which also makes me wonder... should the 2024 be 971.3?

Currently not thrilled w/ the appearance of the headlights. Maybe they will grow on me.

Hopefully at least they might illuminate similar to a sports stadium.

The C-piller looks smaller?

I don't think the new Cayenne is destroyed, IMO It looks nice. As @chassis stated they did cheapen the new Cayenne interior however it's reported if you upgraded to full leather it's not bad at all.

I think they'll grow, It's going to be more bold.
I'm at least hoping they're going to follow the Cayenne and put the V8 back in the 4S
