Im collecting some research and was wondering if anyone knows, or could provide an educated approximation as to how much it costs Porsche to build a base panamera or panamera S? Any backup data would be greatly appreciated.

911 has traditionally been very profitable. Something like $20k/car pure profit since 996 introduction. Normal Boxster and same MY 911 share lots of components and probably cost about same to make but their list prices have huge difference. Panamera might not be as good business even though it shares some compoments with Cayenne.

I'm willing to bet less than it cost them to build a 928 GTS, with or without taking into account inflation.
Bottom line is, Porsche is making a killing on every car - as they should. The days of scraping by for pennies on each vehicle are long over.
