It would be interesting to know how they dealt with the super high strength steels since they aren't supposed to be welded.

I suppose a fromer Porsche Boxster/Cayman manufacturer Valmet here in Finland helped them. At least Valmet have done it earlier when they fabricated Saab 99 Finlandia models.....

That's a great picture-My dad worked for Saab corporate in the 70's and 80's and got to take home a stretched 99 like the one shown there and drive it for a few days-it was pretty cool-

The "extension" adds 185 kg of weight to the Panamera S.
This car is for the CHINESE market only, Chinese executives love to use stretched limousines, the Audi A6 was the first one, then the Audi A8 as far as I remember. Both were built by Audi for the Chinese market only, at first for state/government top people and then for business people too.
