You guys are a riot, its a TEST MULE! Not close to the rea thing. Its runnning gear on some body.
When this thing comes out, my prediction is simple. It will be THE sports sedan to have. M5, CLS, E55, Quattroporte, RS6, it won't matter.
This willl be the new King.

No, I think this is the actual car, 1sicklex. It's got tape and stuff on but the wagon-ish profile and everything matches the sketches we saw earlier. Plus, it shares no body parts with anything else in the Porsche stable right now.

Its got some heavy tape on the rear end. Even the rear passanger windows are taped up in a unique way. You can see that the rear window is actually in a hlaf moon shape under all that tape. Plus I do not think that is actually the production rear or roofline. You can see the curvature in the roof, but it then suddenly continues straight then drops off. I say thats very creative camo instead of the actual shape of the rear end.
I can almost guarantee the rear end wont look anywhere close to what we are seeing here.
Even the side panels are fake. Look at the indents on the front of both doors. That IMO is for door clearance of the thick camo(probably plastic) placed on the car.

This is the best shot we’ve seen of the upcoming four-door Porsche. The image sourced from CocheSpias reveals a car that borrows its styling from the 911, but that’s about all it shares with the iconic coupe. Much of the Panamera’s internals will be shared with the Cayenne, namely its V8 engines and interior fittings. A potent S model will develop roughly 500hp thanks to the twin-turbo 4.5L V8 also lifted from the Cayenne. What we’re most excited about is the possibility of a new hybrid option that will feature an electric motor mated to high-performance V6.
