Recuperation.
The electronic engine management
unit in the new Panamera S Hybrid
controls the braking process so
that, on activation of the brake
pedal, as much applied energy as
possible can be recovered via the
generator mode of the electric motor and returned to the 288-volt
nickel-metal hydride bat tery. This
process is known as recuperation.
Display concept.
The E-Power meter in the dashboard
s
hows the recuperation power and
drive power of the electric motor and the TFT colour display gives
real time information on the
energy flow.
The optional Porsche Communica-
tion Management (PCM) shows a
detailed diagram of the vehicle
with energy flow and statistics on
the amount of driving without the
combustion engine.
Additional electrical functions.
The systems which are normally
dependent on the drive power of
the combustion engine, such as
climate control, power steering
and braking, are powered
electrically in the new Panamera S
Hybrid. The functions remain
available for purely electric driving or when coasting with the combus-
tion engine switched of f.
Direct fuel injection (DFI).
With DFI, the fuel is injected directly
into the combustion chamber at
up
to 120 bar pressure with milli-
second
precision via electromag-
netically activated injector valves.
The spray and cone angles of the
injection are optimised for torque,
power, fuel consumption and emis-
sions by enabling a homogeneous
distribution of the air/fuel mixture
and, therefore, effective combus-
tion. DFI improves the internal
cooling of the combustion chamber
by forming the mixture directly
in the cylinder. The resulting higher
compression ratio delivers more
output at the same time as
enhanced engine efficiency, thus
helping to protect the environment.
Variable camshaft control.
In the V6 combustion engine of
the new Panamera S Hybrid, fully
variable camshaft control is used to
adjust the intake camshaf t timing.
This is ef fectively controlled by the
electronic engine management
system. The result is maximum
output and high torque – even at
low engine speeds – and above
all, reduced fuel consumption and
emissions.
In summary, thanks to Porsche
Intelligent Performance, the new
Panamera S Hybrid delivers the
performance of a sportscar, along
with the low fuel consumption and
emission values of a hybrid vehicle.

8-speed Tiptronic S gearbox.
Standard in the new Panamera S
Hybrid
is an 8-speed Tiptronic S
gearbox with a wide spread of
gears. 1st gear is designed for opti-
mum acceleration on pulling away.
Top speed is reached in 6th gear,
while 7th and 8th gears are used to
reduce the engine revs at high
speeds. This not only results in fuel
savings, but also improves comfort
because, on the motorway, the low
8-speed Tiptronic S gearbox
engine speeds reduce the noise
level in the interior.
The driver can influence the
shift behaviour of the 8-speed
Tiptronic S by deliberate use of
the accelerator and brake pedals.
Dynamic driving leads to more
dynamic gear shif ts and a
restrained, careful driving st yle
leads to economic shifts.Three-spoke sports steering
wheel with gearshift switches.
The standard three-spoke sports
steering wheel has t wo ergonomic
gearshift switches. Push forward
with your thumbs, and the 8-speed
Tiptronic S gearbox changes up.
Pull back with your index finger, and
it changes down.
Even if the selector lever is set to
automatic, you are still able to
change gear manually using the
slider switches. If you stop changing
gear manually, after around eight
seconds the system reverts to
automatic mode. You can also
shift into a separate selector gate
manually using the selector lever:
push forward to shift up, pull back
to shift down.
As an option, the three-spoke sports
steering wheel is available as a
multifunction steering wheel which
you can use for easy operation of
the on-board computer and many
audio, telephone and navigation
functions.
Three-spoke sports steering
wheel with gearshift paddles.
A three-spoke sports steering
wheel with gearshif t paddles is
available as an option. The alloy
paddles sit perfectly to hand
behind the right and lef t steering
wheel spokes. Pull on the right to
shif t up, pull on the lef t to shif t
down.
Also reminiscent of motorsport
is the top centre marking on the
steering wheel rim.

Adaptive pneumatic suspension
including Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM).
The new Panamera S Hybrid is
equipped with adaptive pneumatic
suspension including Porsche
Active Suspension Management
(PASM) as standard. This combined
system improves both driving
dynamics and comfort. As well as
PASM, it includes level control,
height adjustment and spring rate
adjustment.
Level control ensures that the
vehicle always remains level –
automatically, irrespective of load
distribution. The manually control-
led High Level raises the vehicle
by 20 mm to minimise the risk
of grounding over obstacles,
e. g. when entering a garage.*
When SPORT PLUS is selected, the
height adjustment is automatically
set to Low Level (– 25 mm). A
harder spring rate can also be set
by reducing the volume of air in
the pneumatic suspension. Sports
suspension at the push of a but ton.
The system also includes PASM –
for electronic adjustment of the
damper system. It actively and continuously adjusts the damper
force according to the road surface
and driving st yle. Designed to
operate in accordance with the
Skyhook principle, it acts to keep
the body stable to reduce body
movement and thus increase com-
fort in all four seats.
How does PASM work? A but ton on
the centre console of fers a choice
of three modes, Comfort, SPORT
and SPORT PLUS. Sensors detect
the vehicle body movements
which occur on rapid acceleration,
braking, cornering or on an uneven
surface. Signals such as transverse
a
cceleration, steering angle, brake
pressure and engine torque are
also taken into account. From
these, the control unit determines
the present vehicle status, and
adapts the damper set ting accord-
ing to the mode selected.
For your safet y, however, PASM
constantly monitors the driving
conditions. If, in Comfort mode,
you suddenly adopt a sportier and
more dynamic driving st yle, the
system automatically switches to a
harder rating within the Comfort
setup range to increase driving
stabilit y and safet y. Likewise, if in SPORT or SPORT
PLUS mode the driving surface
becomes uneven, PASM quickly
switches to a sof ter rating within
the selected mode, to optimise
traction and grip.
For you, it ’s just the push of a
but ton, with a perceptible result:
increased stabilit y, more comfort
and improved performance.

* The vehicle must not be driven at High Level on public roads as the maximum
permissible installation height of the reflector units may then be exceeded.

Porsche Stability Management
(PSM).
PSM is an automatic control system
for stabilit y even at the limits of
dynamic driving performance.
Sensors continuously monitor the
direction, speed, yaw velocit y and
lateral acceleration of the vehicle.
PSM uses these values to calculate
the actual direction of travel. If
the car begins to oversteer or
understeer, PSM applies selective
braking on individual wheels to
restore stability.
When accelerating on low-grip
road surfaces, PSM increases
traction using the automatic brake
dif ferential (ABD) and anti-slip
regulation (ASR). For a more active
driving experience, PSM can be
switched off but it remains active
in the background.
Two further functions of PSM
include precharging of the braking
system, to achieve maximum
braking force earlier, and brake
assist for maximum deceleration
in an emergency.
SPORT button.
The standard SPORT but ton is
used to switch bet ween comfort
and sport y setups. At the push of
a but ton, the electronic engine
management system makes the
engine more responsive so that the
engine dynamics become more
direct. The 8-speed Tiptronic S
gearbox shifts up later – and down
earlier. Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM) is set to
SPORT mode for harder damping
and more direct steering and,
therefore, greater agilit y on cor-
nering.
Even in SPORT mode, all driving
modes specific to the hybrid
engine are retained, such as elec-
tric driving or recuperation.
E-Power supports the combustion
engine at just 80 % accelerator
pedal position, instead of only on
kick-down as usual.
Sport Chrono Package Plus.
Sport Chrono Package Plus is
available as an option for the
Panamera S Hybrid (only in
conjunction with Porsche Commu-
nication Management – PCM) for an
even sportier vehicle setup.
This includes a digital and analogue
stopwatch, the SPORT PLUS button
and a performance display in the
PCM for lap times. When the
SPORT PLUS but ton in the centre
console activates SPORT PLUS
mode, the engine management
system makes the engine more
responsive, as in SPORT mode.
Porsche Active Suspension Manage-
ment (PASM) is set to SPORT PLUS
mode for harder damping. The
adaptive pneumatic suspension
lowers the vehicle and switches
to a harder spring rate.
Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM) intervenes later in SPORT
PLUS mode – for increased
longitudinal and lateral dynamics.
Agilit y is enhanced when braking
for corners with PSM enabling
greater manoeuvrabilit y under
braking and exit acceleration,
particularly at low speeds. SPORT PLUS mode of fers even
more agilit y when PSM is switched
off. However, for safet y, it is set to
intervene automatically only when
ABS assistance is required on both
of the front wheels.
A key component of the Sport
Chrono Package Plus is the
stopwatch mounted on the dash-
board. It displays, stores and
analyses lap times and times for alternative routes and Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM) is extended to include the
performance display.

Brakes.
The braking system of the
Panamera S Hybrid is equipped
with six-piston aluminium mono-
bloc fixed calipers at the front and
four-piston aluminium monobloc
fixed calipers at the rear, with
brake disc diameters of 360 mm
and 330 mm, respectively. The
discs are internally vented for rapid
heat dispersal.
The manually activated electric
parking brake releases automati-
cally on pulling away. Using the
hill-hold function you can pull away without rolling back on the flat or
on an incline. Via PSM, even on a
hill, the system automatically main-
tains the brake pressure on all four
wheels for a brief period, and pre-
vents the vehicle from rolling away
in the opposite direction.
Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB).
The racetrack tested Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
is available as an option for 19-inch
wheels or larger. The cross-drilled
ceramic brake discs have a dia-
meter of 390 mm at the front and
350 mm at the rear. The key advantage of PCCB is its
total weight saving. Its brake discs
are approximately 50 % lighter than
standard brake discs of similar
design and size. As well as enhanc-
ing performance and fuel economy,
this large reduction in both
un sprung and rotating masses
ensures bet ter handling and road
holding, improved agilit y and
increased comfort, especially on
uneven road surfaces.
Environment.
Over the last 15 years, Porsche
has reduced the CO
2 emissions of
its vehicles by an average of 1.7 %*
per year. In relation to engine
power, Porsche is already among
those vehicle manufacturers with
the lowest CO
2 emissions – thanks
to efficient engine technology,
lightweight construction, optimised
aerodynamics and low rolling
resistance. Porsche proves that even high per-
formance sportscars can achieve
moderate consumption and emis-
sion values for their categories.
The Panamera S Hybrid meets the
requirements of the Euro 5 emis-
sions standards in Europe and
ULEV regulations in the USA.
How? By ef ficient use of fuel with
technologies such as parallel full
hybrid drive, Direct fuel injection
(DFI) and recuperation, when the bat tery is charged mainly during
the braking phases.
In addition, the body of the
Panamera S Hybrid consists of
around 23 % light weight alloy.
For example, the bonnet, doors,
front wings and tailgate are made
of aluminium which saves weight
and fuel.

BOSE® Surround Sound System.
Porsche sound? Music? Both.
With BOSE®. The BOSE® Surround
Sound System can be combined
with both the CDR-31 audio
system and the optional Porsche
Communication Management (PCM).
Nine amplifier channels with a
total output of 545 Wat ts and
14 loudspeakers, including
a 160 -Wat t high performance
woofer (active subwoofer*)
provide a balanced sound.
In combination with PCM, the
system enables playback of audio
DVDs – and with the sound
spectrum of digital 5.1 recording.
CDs and MP3 players can be
played in stereo or, at the push
of a but ton, in surround mode
generated by BOSE® Centerpoint®
2 t
e ch n ol og y.
The AudioPilot
® Noise Compensa-
tion Technology measures the
ambient noise inside the vehicle
and adapts music playback auto -
matically to maintain a consistent sound – whatever the driving
conditions.
Thanks to signal processing
technology developed by BOSE
®,
the system is tailored for optimum
acoustics in the interior. The result
is a balanced, authentic sound and
a captivating three-dimensional
360° sound experience in all four
seats. Whether you’re coasting
almost silently, or driving sportily.
ParkAssist.
The standard Park Assist, with four
sensors in the rear end, gives an
acoustic warning of obstacles
behind the vehicle. It can be
expanded with six sensors at the
front as an option. It also gives a
visual warning through the graphic
depiction of the vehicle’s position
in the central display screen.
The optional reversing camera
(only in conjunction with the PCM
and Park Assist front and rear)
facilitates precise reverse parking
using the camera image and
guidelines on the PCM screen.
Adaptive cruise control.
Available as an option, this regu-
lates the vehicle speed in line with
the speed of the vehicle in front.
If you have set a particular speed
and are approaching a slower
vehicle, the system reduces your
speed by restricting the throt tle
or gently braking, until a preset
distance is maintained. If the
leading vehicle brakes further,
the adaptive cruise control also
reduces your speed. When the
road ahead is clear again, it
accelerates to the set speed.
Lane Change Assist (LCA).
Lane Change Assist (LCA) uses
radar sensors to monitor the area
behind the vehicle and the blind
spot. Above a speed of 30 km/h,
the system gives a visual signal
in the exterior mirror to warn of
vehicles approaching rapidly from
behind or in the blind spot. On the
motorway, the Lane Change Assist
increases comfort and safet y. It
does not intervene in vehicle
driving, and can be deactivated
at any time.
