"It's a new style of vehicle that is part sedan, part crossover," one dealer told the outlet.

The Renndienst features five seats in three rows. (Porsche)
The two-row Cayenne is currently Porsche's largest offering, but it also sells the Panamera and electric Taycan Sport Turismo wagons.
The Renndienst has a central driving position with video monitors instead of side-view mirrors. (Porsche)
Porsche would not officially comment on the report and the dealers said they weren't told if it would be electric or powered by an internal combustion engine when it arrives later in the decade.

The German automaker plans to add more electric models to its lineup, however, and parent company VW Group is developing a large battery-powered platform code named the Landjet that is expected to be used by Audi, Porsche and Bentley.
