Porsche will add at least four new vehicles by 2018, including the Macan mid-sized crossover and 918 Spyder hybrid sports car due next year. Under discussion are a sports car slotted between the 911 and 918 Spyder and a sedan smaller than the Panamera, which Porsche has been mulling for more than a year.
CEO Matthias Mueller said a decision on the sports car won't be made until the end of next year. If produced, he said, it would be built on the new Volkswagen Group MMB architecture for rear-wheel drive and midengine cars that would also be used for the next-generation Lamborghini Gallardo and Audi R8. Within the VW Group, Porsche is heading development of the MMB platform.
Mueller said the smaller sedan, which has been dubbed the Pajun, for Panamera Jr., "could be a possibility," but he gave no timetable for a decision. The sedan would compete with the BMW 5 series and Mercedes-Benz E class.
