Asside from the information regarding the new platform available so far, Hatz mentioned that the new Panamera will ride on a new platform which can underpin a variety of models including a coupe, convertible and Sport Turismo.
However of the possibilities mentioned above, the Panamera Convertible has been excluded. Hatz stated that “For me we already have so many good convertibles with the Boxster and 911, is it something we really need?”
