These are the most recent picture of the upcoming Porsche Panamera mule; this particular model is one of the first spotted in the US. Caught by Fast Lane Daily viewer mcshin, who tells us:

Seen in Marina Del Rey, California today with a chase care behind. When I pulled my camera out the chase car would drive really close to the car and try and block my view. Thank goodness for the traffic!

 

The Panamera is Porsche's first ever four-door sedan and it should be going into production very shortly. Price estimates sit at anywhere from the high-$50,000 range all the way up to a $100,000+ Turbo model; competing right with the BMW 7-Series, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and Audi A8. Fast Lane Daily has also learned that Porsche will integrate their new hybrid technology as well as their exsisting all wheel drive system into later model variations of the Panamera. These recent shots show that the prototypes are close to production; nothing compared to the Cayenne drive-train mules we saw two years ago dancing around the Nordschleife test circuit. Even with the mask covering most of the lines of this prototype, it is clear that the new Porsche flagship will feature an integration of LEDs in the headlights as well as a retractable rear-wing.

We weren't the only ones who spotted the Panamera cruising the streets of Marina Del Ray- our friends at Jalopnik have their own exclusive photos!

What do you think? Does the Panamera have a fixed rear wing or not? Let us know what you think!
