The Panamera is getting a facelift to bring it more in line with the recently unveiled Porsche 991. 

Camouflage hides small changes to the front bumper and headlights but, before it makes production, changes to the rear lights are also expected to give them more of a resemblance to the slimline units found on the 991.

Interestingly this mule also looks to be sporting cameras fitted to the bumper suggesting future Panamera’s will be fitted with Porsche’s ACC InnoDrive system. This works with the sat-nav to read curves and elevation in the road and allows the driver to take their feet completely off the pedals. It reportedly brings fuel consumption improvements of around 10 per cent too. 

The engine line-up will be carried over as it is so expect to see basic models powered by a 296bhp 3.6-litre V6 and S models powered by a 394bhp 4.8-litre V8. Diesel, hybrid and turbocharged models will also be offered. 

Expect to see the new Panamera arriving late in 2012 with a starting price-tag of around £60,000.

Maybe the next innovation should be a driverless Panamera? Thus sparing anyone the embarrassment of being seen behind the wheel of this monstrosity.
