The new Panamera S Hybrid | Balance
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.

relation to the European legislation valid at the time.

CDR-31 audio system.
The CDR-31 audio system has a
7-inch colour touchscreen for
intuitive control of key functions
and menus. The integral CD radio,
including FM dual tuner and RDS
diversit y, 30 memory presets,
dynamic autostore and speed-
sensitive volume control, com-
prises a sound system with 10 loudspeakers and a total audio
output of 100 Wat ts. An optional
integrated six-disc CD/DVD auto -
changer is available. As an option,
CDR-31 can be combined with the
BOSE
® Surround Sound System.
Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) with
navigation module.
Porsche Communication Manage-
ment (PCM) is available as an
option on the new Panamera S
Hybrid. PCM is the central
information and communication
system. Powerful, versatile –
yet easy to operate.
The focal point is the 7-inch high-
resolution touchscreen. A maxi-
mum of five entries per page
ensures clarit y of presentation. In
specific situations, a help function
is displayed at the bot tom of the
screen.
A central function of the PCM in
the Panamera S Hybrid is the
graphic display of the hybrid drive
with its energy flow diagram, e. g.
for E-driving, E-Power, recuperation
or coasting. A statistical display
also shows the proportion of
driving that is emission-free, in
relation to the total driving time.
The radio has 42 memory presets,
an FM dual tuner with RDS diversit y which constantly scans in the back-
ground for the best signal, and a
dynamic autostore.
The CD/DVD drive plays CDs and
audio DVDs and is MP3-compatible.
Audio playback of video DVDs is
also supported. A six-disc CD/DVD
autochanger integrated in the PCM
is available as an option.
An optional universal audio interface
in the storage compartment of
the front centre console provides
a USB port for the connection and
charging of various iPod
® and
iPhone
® models, and for connect-
ing MP3 players or USB memory
sticks with MP3 music. It is oper-
ated
via the PCM, the optional
multifunction steering wheel or the
optional voice control. The USB port can also be used to download
the data on the electronic logbook.
The AUX interface is used to
connect an external audio source,
operated directly on the device
connected.
The navigation module with high-
speed hard drive, included with
PCM, gives you a choice bet ween
perspective or a t wo-dimensional
map view. You can also display
scenes and buildings in 3D in
some areas. The remaining route
is automatically adapted to the
maximum screen size. Split screen
mode enables you to view not only
the current map section but also
a list of symbols representing
your next driving manoeuvres.
Operation via the touchscreen is
quick and easy. Just touch the
TMC symbol in the map, for
example, and the dynamic route
guide via the TMC function
(Traffic Message Channel) is
immediately activated.
