Porsche is still planning to build a four-door convertible version of the Panamera, a series of patent applications obtained by Autocar has revealed.

Recent comments from Porsche insiders indicated the car had been cancelled, but renewals and fresh patent applications in the United States indicate otherwise.

i just know this car is going to get so much bad press but i really like it and good to see a proper 4 door car getting the convertible treatment

Have to agree, the first pic showing the production ready version - it really works.It looks a lot better than the saloon- the shape just flows better. Its just a shame id never buy a convertible, but i can imagine this car selling well in the South of France, Miami and California .I think the seering heat of the Middle East would probably mean it wouldnt sell too well in the UAE, but it would be funny to see one of these roof down,some sheikh , hareem in tow dressed ninja style hurtling down a freeway in Dubai :p

Ditch the 2 back doors and it'll be a winner.

It actually looks quite good in the autocar generated image....

 

but don't worry... this is Porsche! They'l find a way to make it uglier that you thought could be possible.....

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahha

ahhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahhahaah, i cant breathe

haaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahaha

Looks ideal for sitting in the back and being cheuffered around while inspecting ze troops... ;->
