This is the long-rumored shooting brake version of Porsche Panamera, set for unveiling at the Paris Motor Show in concept form and under the pseudonym of Sport Turismo. It might be a Panamera, but it shares only a little with the sedan. It has brand-new front and rear-end design. Even the interior is different. But then again, it’s just a concept car for now.

Whatever it is though, it’s a helluva lot prettier than the Panamera minger. We quite like the front-end, while the rear-end has a whiff of the 991 Carrera about it and looks a bit weird. And of course there is that big rear hatch. The interior appears to be trying out new digital gauges and controls, maybe to be used in future production models.

As these leaked pictures suggest, the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo is powered by a hybrid system. There’s no details available yet on the exact specifications, but chances are it is a similar system to the one used in the Panamera hybrid, and not like the one in the 918 super car.

Official details are expected to be released soon.
