Expect a reveal at 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show.

We've been told the next-generation Porsche Panamera won't be ugly, and these latest spy shots of the super sedan undergoing cold weather testing in sub-zero Sweden is proof. Based on the new MSB platform, which uses a combo of high-strength steel and aluminium, the new Panamera will be much lighter with power coming from all-new V6 and V8 engines. The body is more curvaceous, with handsome lines, and a longer rear end.

It's elegant and sporty, and will spawn other derivatives including a Shooting Brake, which was previewed by the Sport Turismo Concept. A two-door coupe as a successor to the 928 also hasn't been ruled out. Expect Porsche to debut the new Panamera at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show in September.
