With the Panamera, we’ve already
introduced a fairly radical idea into
the cosy world of the saloon: you
can drive a sportscar – and at the
same time travel in comfort.
However, that wasn’t enough for us.
The next logical, convincing step
was the introduction to the luxury
automotive class of a radical
concept in hybrid technology:
driving pleasure.
Or as we understand it, with sports-
car dynamics – and astonishingly
low fuel consumption and emis-
sions. The next stage of Porsche
Intelligent Performance.
How does this work? By constantly
endeavouring to redefine our limits
and set new standards. Thanks to
our 60 years of motorsport experi-
ence, together with our engineer-
ing expertise, we are moving into
the future of more efficient driving.
So a Gran Turismo with parallel full
hybrid is far more than just a
saloon: it ’s a Porsche. Powerful,
ef ficient, comfortable and – of
course – sport y.
Performance with conviction.
The new Panamera S Hybrid.
The introduction to the luxury automotive class of a
radical concept in hybrid technology: driving pleasure.

Concept
Four doors. Four seats. Sportscars for four – the Panamera models.
Uncompromising comfort and practicalit y, along with sports perform-
ance and fuel efficiency. An innovative concept, re-interpreted in
the
Panamera S Hybrid with Porsche Intelligent Performance. At last,
heart and mind can finally call a truce.

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.

permissible installation height of the reflector units may then be exceeded.

To drive a sportscar, you have to think of others.
We usually think ahead.
The new Panamera S Hybrid | Balance
Lighting system.
The standard Bi-Xenon headlights
with headlight cleaning system and
automatic dynamic range adjust-
ment ensure uniform illumination
of the road with both dipped and
main beam. Also fit ted as standard
are LED day time running lights.
The Porsche Dynamic Light System
(PDLS) is available as an option. Its
dynamic cornering light function
swivels the headlights towards the
inside of a bend based on steering
angle and driving speed and the
static cornering lights activate the
auxiliary headlights to illuminate
more of the road at tight bends
and turns. Put simply, when you
enter a bend the road ahead is
illuminated immediately. PDLS also
adapts the light distribution to the
speed and visibilit y conditions. The result is increased safet y – not
only at night and on bends.
Body design.
The fully galvanised light weight
body made from steel and alumin-
ium provides a highly resilient
passenger cell for protection in the
event of an impact. A longitudinal
and transverse frame structure
absorbs deformation energy,
disperses impact forces and thus
minimises deformation of the
interior. A rigid front bulkhead
cross member reduces deforma-
tion of the foot wells – for bet ter
protection of the feet and legs of
the occupants.
Pedestrian safet y is enhanced
by the active bonnet system. If
sensors in the front apron detect a collision, the system raises the
rear of the bonnet which can help
to reduce the risk of injury.
Airbags.
The new Panamera S Hybrid is
fit ted as standard with nine full-size
and knee airbags for the driver
and passenger, and the Porsche
Side Impact Protection System
(POSIP). This comprises side
airbags in the front seats, curtain
airbags over the complete roof
frame and side windows from the
A to the C pillar, and side impact
protection in the doors. Side
airbags for the rear are available
as an option.
Balance
Performance and safet y. Not a contradiction, but a promise.
Only when you feel safe, can you use power with conviction.

The new Panamera S Hybrid | Individuality
Interior.
What strikes you immediately –
as well as the four seats – is the
centre console rising to the front.
This creates a short distance
bet ween the steering wheel and
the gear selector.
The 4.8-inch TFT colour screen,
integrated into the five instrument
dials, gives information from the
computer, the gear display, the
hybrid display for the energy flow
in each driving mode, the optional
adaptive cruise control display or
various warnings, e.g. for the Tyre
Pressure Monitoring System (TPM).
The navigation map can also be
displayed here on vehicles fit ted
with Porsche Communication
Management (PCM).
The front seats with integrated
headrests are fully electric with
adjustable seat height, squab
and backrest angle, and fore/af t
position. Adaptive sports seats are
optional. The front seats feature seat heating as standard, the rear
seats as an option. On request,
seat ventilation is available for the
front seats or for all four seats
(only in conjunction with seat heat-
ing).
The t wo rear seats have plent y of
leg and head room, even for taller
passengers. The backrests fold
down individually in a 40:60 ratio
for more storage capacit y. The volume of the rear luggage com-
partment in the new Panamera S
Hybrid is 337 litres, or 1,155 litres
with the backrests folded down.
The standard partial leather interior
is available in three colours. Optional
interior finishes in leather and
Alcantara and interior packages in
various materials offer numerous
possibilities for personalisation.

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.
