It might not look significantly different, but this is the new Porsche Panamera you’re looking at.

Spotted winter testing by AutoGuide.com‘s spy photographers, the 2016 Porsche Panamera was photographed in Sweden sporting no camouflage revealing an overall sportier and more elegant shape. Based on the German automaker’s new MSB platform, the 2016 Panamera will be lighter than its predecessor and will also feature new V6 and V8 engines that Porsche is currently developing.

Expect the 2016 Panamera to be offered with both rear- and all-wheel drive. The sedan model will come at launch, followed up by a Shooting Brake variant that is unlikely to come to the U.S. Also, rumor has it that a two-door coupe serving as a successor to the 928 could be in the pipeline.
