Porsche and Volkswagen expand sharing of electronics
 

When Porsche Panamera will be launched it will be the first example of increased sharing between Porsche and Volkswagen. The Panamera will share gasoline-electric powertrain and electronics with Volkswagen and Audi. "We have potential and the other side has potential to save engineering money and save investments so it is a win-win for both sides," Wiedeking said. Porsche will launch the four-door, four-seat Panamera in mid-2009. Thesportsmaker plans to sell about 20,000 units.
