Spy Shots: Porsche Panamera Facelift Caught Playing in the Snow

Just about every other model in Porsche’s lineup is about to enter a new generation, but the spanking new Panamera isn’t in need of such dramatic changes. Not one to leave any vehicle out in the cold, though, Porsche has decided to provide the sports sedan with a few fresh changes for the 2013 model year.

New spy shots of the spruced up Panamera show that the car is almost completely stripped of its camouflage and high-tailing through some snow during winter testing. The Panamera facelift reveals slightly modified headlights and a new bumper for the front of the vehicle, as well as a revised bumper and new graphics for the lights in the rear.

Other than that, it looks like the Panamera will be largely unchanged. The sports sedan will still be powered by a choice of either the 3.6-liter V6 engine or the 4.8 liter V8 engine, but both may see some adjustments to improve on fuel economy.
