For those of you who are still trying to get your head round a diesel Cayenne it appears Porsche may not stop at sticking an oil-burner in its SUV. According to Autoweek, the new Panamera four-door could be getting a diesel as well, although we are hoping that it will be a bit punchier than the 3.0-litre V6 Audi unit that is heading for the Cayenne.

Audi also do a 326bhp 4.2-litre V8 diesel engine that would be another candidate for the Panamera, which may be more likely than the 240bhp V6. This is not the only news for the new Aston Rapide competitor – Porsche is apparently also considering a Targa version, which would be a standalone Panamera model.

The three-panel Targa roof would be unique to the Panamera and the car would retain all four doors. Autoweek also got a look at production versions of the base and Turbo Panamera and said both cars were equipped with front bumper vents ‘reminiscent of Ford Focus vents.’

We shall have to wait and see…
