Refreshed Porsche Panamera Spied at Nürburgring: Cabin Details Revealed, GTS May Debut Hybrid Powertrain
Refreshed Porsche Panamera test mules have been spied at the Nürburgring, with cabin details emerging as the key highlight compared to earlier Nordic winter testing. Exterior camouflage remains consistent with the January version, revealing updated headlamps, revised bumpers, and new radar hardware. Two PHEV variants were spotted, both featuring left-side charging ports. One variant with square exhaust tips corresponds to the Turbo E-Hybrid or Turbo S E-Hybrid; the other with quad round exhausts—traditionally denoting the 4S E-Hybrid—may indicate the GTS's first hybrid application based on front bumper, DRL positioning, and camouflaged rear diffuser analysis.
