The 2024 Porsche Panamera Seen in Traffic with Minimal Disguise

The next generation Panamera is set to be revealed on November 24. In the meantime, Porsche is conducting final tests. A prototype, which appears to be almost production-ready, has been sighted on the streets of California with cleverly disguised features.

The camouflage is designed to create the illusion that the car is not concealed. This extends beyond stickers on the headlights and taillights, with a fake side air intake on the fenders and a blacked-out quarter glass. Porsche has gone to great lengths to deceive with this disguise.

2024 Mercedes V-Class / V-Class Marco Polo, Vito / eVito, And EQV Revealed

Mercedes-Benz Vans will introduce its Van Electric Architecture (VAN.EA) in 2026. But before that, the company has given its midsize vans a refresh for 2024. The V-Class, V-Class Marco Polo, Vito, e-Vito, and EQV have all received updates to stay competitive in a challenging market. Depending on the trim level, some of the vans now feature multiple three-pointed stars embedded into the grille, similar to the new E-Class cars.

Speaking of the grille, the V-Class / V-Class Marco Polo and EQV now come with an illuminated LED contour. Additionally, the V-Class Exclusive model now includes a classic hood-mounted upright star for the first time. Multibeam LED headlights are either standard or optional, and the LED taillights have been updated with a darkened contour. The V-Class models and EQV feature chrome trim with Mercedes-Benz lettering. The exterior updates are completed with the introduction of five new paint colors and several aero-optimized alloy wheels available in 17, 18-, and 19-inch sizes.
