The best hitch for your 2018 Panamera is the Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack Receiver item # SH59ZR. This hitch will not change the appearance of your Porsche. The only trimming required is beneath the car to one of the gravel shields.

To tow with this hitch you will need the Towing Kit w/ Ball Mount and Trailer Wiring for Stealth Hitches Hidden Rack item # 391CONVA7. This ball mount can be completely removed when you are not towing. It also comes with a 7-way wiring harness.
