I gave up waiting for a new non-hybrid v-8 Panamera and have ordered a 4S E Hybrid. The ordering process could be more efficient-the Configurator states that the Sport Chrono Gauge is available either as a stopwatch or a compass but the compass is nowhere to be found as an option. So far I haven’t received a satisfactory response from Porsche re the compass. Similarly, black calipers were not available as an alternative to standard red until I continued for several weeks to question Porsche as to why that option was not available and they agreed that that absence was a mistake so now black calipers are offered on the non-ceramic brakes. In the Mike and Mason video inside the Panamera, you can see the silver shade optional horizontal insert just beneath the front seat headrest. Strange that symmetry isn’t continued with matching inserts in the back seats. I have asked if matching inserts can be optioned but I was told that zero customization is available on any Porsche other than a 911 it 718.
I'm in a similar boat. Been waiting on a non-hybrid v8 Panamera but am getting a bit impatient. Looking forward to seeing some reviews and hearing feedback on the 4s ehybrid to see if it would be a viable alternative. I'm also considering an RS6 or the newly released Cayenne GTS as alternatives, but really love the pdk. Any idea on when you'll be recieving your car?
I love this podcast!! Mason is so funny and Mike just seems like such a likeable guy!
Aww thank you so much for you support! 🙏🏼
Any clue if there will be a v8 non hybrid? I'm hoping the range mimics the cayenne and there is a 4s with the v8 non-hybrid.

Current estimate is August 8. Didn’t know there is now a Cayenne GTS
