While I haven't I have seen post in other forums where people have added the hitch, they offered a tow package in Europe for the Panamera, I don't think a motorcycle or 2 would be much of a strain

There's a hide-a-hitch that Porsche offered for these cars. It's a motorized hitch that drops down into place. They're really nice, but also like a grand.

I bought the stealthhitch kit but didn't install it yet.
I wanted to tow a small camping trailer but after digging a bit more, despite Porsche rating the towing of the Panamera at (2200kg) 4850lbs, it seems to only be rated at 100kg (220lbs) of tongue weight, and well there's not many camping options there
In North America our tailing recommendations are to put 10-15% of the trailer weight on the hitch, but that would mean it could only tow 2200lbs. Might be enough for your motorcycles though.
Another thing is the brake controller. The kit for the panamera only has a 4pin unbraked trailer connector, so for the bigger 7pin one it would need to be hacked up somehow. I was looking at what stealthhitch is selling https://stealthhitches.com/products/...-brake-control as it goes on the trailer itself instead of inside the car but unsure about that part yet.

Username - Have you installed it? If not, looking to sell the stealth hitch? Is it for a 970 or 971? I wonder if there are any differences... RDEIS used a 2022 Cayenne hitch for his, and drilled a new bolt pattern on the mounting flanges for the 970 Panamera.

I brought my Panamera souley because it came with the Towbar, I tow my 2 ton caravan with ease, get a few strange looks but the car is amazing for towing

The Panamera has solid towing capabilities, and with the right hitch setup, it should handle a motorcycle trailer just fine. I’d recommend checking for a high-quality, vehicle-specific hitch to maintain stability and aesthetics.
