Porsche Panamera Shooting Brake spy shots
Remember that Sport Turismo concept from 2012? Looks like it really could happen
Now though, the style is set to make production too. Back then we weren't really expecting to see anything more until at least 2016 and, wouldn't you know, a set of spy shots has emerged in the first week of February. Predictably it currently lacks the polish of that show car but it certainly points to a stylish Porsche estate of the near future. And who doesn't fancy the idea of that?
From 850 R to Mercedes CLS Shooting Brake, we're big fans of anything rapid and practical on PistonHeads. Now even in this prototype stage, the Panamera doesn't appear to be a conventional load lugger - it's more a swoopy shooting brake in the style of the Mercedes. Still, a car of this size must surely provide more than enough space for a family of five, plus a noticeable gain over the regular Panamera. It's a whole lot more appealing than any comparable SUV, for sure.
Given both this car and the regular Panamera are seen testing here, that would suggest both models are due for launch fairly close to each other. Expect the new Panamera sometime next year, with a new raft of engines including more hybrids. Let's hope the Turbo S remains for a truly bonkers wagon to go head-to-head with that Mercedes, and the RS6 too.

I wonder when they will introduce the 2+2 Coupe version in to the range? They could call it, oh I dont know......the 928!

That however looks like a Porsche estate car not a shooting brake. being based on the Pan, it also looks dreadful though less so that the car it was build from.
in comparison, Italians let loose on the Rapide::
