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.
