保时捷CEO 穆勒(Matthias Müller)近日在巴黎车展承认,第一代Panamera的设计存在问题。他表示，一代车在内外装设计上存在问题，不过这些问题将在二代车上获得解决，目前第二代车型正在开发中，新车将于2016年发布。二代Panamera将采用更流畅的车顶线条，而从先前拍摄的谍照看，新车的车顶进一步向后延长，后部倾斜度更大，从而创造出更顺滑的车辆后部，同时不会牺牲后排乘客的头部活动空间，而新车的车身尺寸与老款车几乎一样。穆勒还表示，新一代车型“外观将非常独特，相对于同级车，这样的设计显得有些另类，或许很多消费者不会喜欢这样的设计。”不过，他更喜欢这种极端化的设计而非为了取悦某些消费者而采用的保守，安全的设计。除了造型风格改变外，新车还将采用MSB平台，这将使车重降低91公斤，而其动力系统为保时捷自己开发的一系列V6和V8引擎，搭配后驱或全驱系统。据传保时捷还将开发Panamera双门轿跑车和敞篷车版本，不过这一说法未获官方证实。而迷你Panamera“Pajun”则将于2019年发布。

 

Porsche admits mistakes were made with the Panamera, including exterior & interior design

Porsche CEO Matthias Müller has admitted some mistakes were made during the Panamera's development.

 

Work is well underway on the second generation Panamera slated to come out in 2016 and Matthias Müller promises the first-gen's problems will be fixed. Speaking at the ongoing Paris Motor Show, Müller acknowledged "there have been some mistakes" with the first generation, pointing out the exterior & interior design "could be better."

 

The second generation Panamera will have a "faster" roofline and based on previous spy shots the meaning of the word in this context is longer and more sloped to create a sleeker appearance without shaving off rear headroom while the car's overall dimensions will be virtually the same.

 

Müller went on to say they have created a "very unique shape" for the new Panamera that hasn't been done so far in this segment but is sure "a lot of people won't like the design of the next generation." He prefers coming out with a polarizing design rather than just playing it safe.

 

Styling aside, the upcoming Panamera will ride on the MSB platform and should lose as much as 91 kg (200 lbs) while power is expected to come from a new range of in-house developed V6 and V8 engines compatible with both rear- and all-wheel drive systems.

 

There are some rumors suggesting Porsche is also working on a two-door Panamera with either a soft or a hard top but additional details are not available at this point. A "mini Panamera" codenamed "Pajun" has allegedly been pushed back until 2019.
