Porsche Panamera 971 (2nd Generation)

20172023 · 971 · sedan

Second-generation Panamera. MSB platform (shared with Bentley Continental GT and Flying Spur). 2.9L twin-turbo V6 / 4.0L twin-turbo V8 / E-Hybrid plug-in / Turbo S E-Hybrid (top trim). Sport Turismo five-door wagon body offered in North America for the first time. Sleeker, more aerodynamic, fixed most of the styling criticism of the 970.

Watch out: Air-suspension wear and PDK fluid services are expected long-term maintenance on the V8 cars. Plug-in hybrid charge-port concerns on early E-Hybrid models — verify warranty work. Otherwise reliability tracks the modern Porsche pattern: expensive when out of warranty, but predictable.

Full clubhouse — owner Garage Lineage, common problems, year-by-year notes, and product picks — is on the build list.
