concerned, we are already among
those manufacturers achieving
the lowest CO2 em issio ns. T h is
has been achieved through the
new ef ficient engine technology
(e.g. by DFI and VarioCam Plus),
light weight construction, optimum
aerodynamics and low rolling
resistance. This high level of environmental
responsibilit y is clearly demon
-
strated by our approach to envi -
ronmental management at the
Porsche Development Centre in
Weissach. Here, all technological
developments are carried out
with environmental protection in
mind. The goal is pure perform -
ance – but not at the expense of
the environment. A goal achieved
by the Panamera.
Fuel economy and emission
control.
Vehicles manufactured by Porsche
demonstrate that even high-
performance sportscars can
achieve moderate fuel consump -
tion and
exhaust emission values
in their
respective categor y.
The balance is exemplary: the
Panamera, Panamera 4 and
Panamera Turbo comply with the
Euro 5 emission standard in
Europe and the LEV regulations in
the USA, the Panamera S and
Panamera 4S meet the require -
ments of EU 5 and ULEV.
This is achieved through the use
of fuel- ef ficient technologies such
as direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 51)
and VarioCam Plus (p. 52).
Efficient emission control is
achieved by a t wo -stage cascade-
t ype cataly tic converter, which
comprises t wo monoliths arranged
in series. These specially coated
substrates contain ultra-fine honey -
comb
channels in which pollutants
are converted as exhaust gas
passes through.
The stereo Lambda control circuitr y
controls and monitors each cylin -
der bank separately. For each
exhaust tract, oxygen sensors
regulate the composition of the
exhaust gas, while another Lambda
s
ensor on each cylinder bank
monitors pollutant conversion in
the respective cataly tic converter.**
Environmental protection.
In an era of intensif ying debate
about global climate change and
CO
2 emissions, every automotive manufacturer is asking what it has
to of fer in terms of environmental
protection. Our answer has long
been the same: maximum effi
-
ciency. Porsche has been reducing the
CO
2 emissions of its vehicles
by an average of around 1.7 %*
every year for the past 15 years.
As far as engine output is

figures for the respective model years
of the vehicles and in relation to the
applicable European legislation.

The interior.
In terms of Porsche design, the
Panamera models are, admit tedly,
a lit tle dif ferent from what we
are used to. It ’s no wonder, as
they are the first Porsche vehicles
to have four individual seats
(p. 106). But that ’s not all.
What strikes you immediately
about the front is the elevated
centre console. It doesn’t look like
a saloon does it? That ’s good,
because it does look distinctly like
a sportscar. Even more impor -
tantly, it handles like one. This is
thanks in no small part to the
extremely short distance bet ween
the gear lever and steering wheel
– to be more precise, the three-
spoke sports steering wheel with
smooth -finish leather rim, which
is fit ted as standard and adjusts
for height and reach. A heated
steering wheel is available on
request.
Also available as an option for all
models is the three-spoke multi-
function steering wheel, which has
but tons for the convenient opera -
tion of a range of radio and, where
applicable, navigation and tele -
phone functions. It is finished
in smooth -finish leather or, in
conjunction with steering wheel
heating, any finish of your choice
from walnut, tineo, anthracite
birch, Yachting Mahogany or
carbon.
With these finishes and a selec -
tion of other materials of fered
in the form of predefined interior
packages, there is a wealth of
ways for you to personalise the
interior. Additionally, there are
seven interior colours and five
t wo -tone combinations in several leathers. So you can create a
sport y or luxurious feel, or even a
blend of both.
All the frequently used controls on
the centre console are grouped
logically together to enable you to
select individual functions quickly
and easily.
Just how much at tention we have
paid to providing space in the
passenger compartment can be
seen in the details. The Panamera
models of fer a variet y of storage
options, e.g. in the doors and
centre console. The front centre
armrest contains a convenient
cupholder. Alternatively, at no
extra cost, you can have t wo addi
-
tional fold- out cupholders installed
above the glove compartment
to supplement the t wo fit ted as
standard in the rear compartment.

Instruments.
The five circular dashboard instru-
ments in the Panamera models
are quick, clear and easy to read.
Typically Porsche.
The instrument cluster with high-
resolution 4.8-inch TFT colour
screen gives you access to the
on-board computer or the naviga -
tion system map, for example.
It also shows the set tings of the
optional adaptive cruise control
or gives various warnings, such
as alerts from the Tyre Pressure
Monitoring (TPM).
In the new Panamera and
Panamera 4 models, the dial face
of the rev counter is black; in
the Panamera S and Panamera 4S
it is silver-grey, and in the
Panamera Turbo it is black and
bears the ‘turbo’ logo.
Front seats.
The front seats with integrated
headrests of fer a high degree of
comfort. During cornering, they
hold your body firm but without
restricting your freedom of move -
ment.
Seat adjustment is fully electric as
standard with controls on both the
driver and front passenger sides
for seat height, squab and back -
rest angle, and fore/af t position. A
driver memory package, available
as an option, enables the driver’s
seat and exterior mirror positions
to be saved and restored auto -
ma t ic a l l y.
In the Panamera Turbo, the front
seats offer even more function -
alit y. The 14-way power seats with
memory package for both driver
and front passenger are standard
(optional for all other Panamera
models). In addition to featuring an
electric steering column adjust -
ment facilit y, this includes electric
four-way lumbar support, electric
seat squab length adjustment and
personal memory for seat, steer -
ing wheel and mirror positions.
The courtesy lights (LEDs in the
exterior mirrors) are a component
of the driver memory package and
14-way power seats with memory
package.
ISOFIX child seat mounting points
are available as an option for the
front passenger seat in conjunc -
tion with the deactivation function
for the passenger airbag.
Adaptive sports seats.
Do you wish to take sport y driving
to an even higher level? That is
precisely what the adaptive sports
seats were designed for. Available
as an option for all Panamera
models, they have firmer uphol-
ster y
and provide even bet ter
lateral support thanks to the
raised side bolsters on the seat
squab and backrest. Featuring 18-way electric adjust
-
ment, the seats can be optimally
adapted to meet your needs in
terms of seat height, squab and
backrest angle, squab length, fore/
af t adjustment and 4-way lumbar
support. The steering column is
also electrically adjustable.
In addition, the side bolsters on
the seat squab and backrest are
independently adjustable for added comfort with longitudinal
or precision lateral support on
winding roads. Also included is
the personal memory for the
driver and front passenger seats
(including lumbar support), the
steering wheel and the driver’s
exterior mirror.

Rear seats.
Two fully independent seats with
plent y of leg and head room, even
for taller passengers. They provide
good lateral support, even during
fast cornering, with no compro -
mise on comfort. Bet ween the
seats is a folding armrest with a
handy storage compartment. The
backrests fold down individually
with a ratio of 40:60 to increase
storage capacit y or to accom -
modate unwieldy items. With the
optional large centre console,
the backrests can still be folded
separately while the console itself
remains fixed in position.
8-way power seats are available
as an option for the rear in any
of the Panamera models. In
addition to the electric backrest
adjustment, seat squab length
adjustment and lumbar support functions, there is a facilit y to
adjust the front passenger seat
from the rear.
When specified in conjunction with
seat ventilation (p. 150), the
8-way power seats (rear) feature
automatic comfort headrests.
In conjunction with the adaptive
sports seats in the front, sports
seats are also fit ted in the rear
and feature a contrasting seam
pat tern and elevated side bolsters.
ISOFIX child seat mounting points
are fit ted as standard on both rear
seats in all Panamera models.
Seat heating and ventilation.
The front seats of the Panamera S,
4S and Turbo models feature seat
heating as standard (optional for
Panamera and Panamera 4). This
heats the seat squab and backrest
to a pleasant temperature. In the
Panamera Turbo, the seats in the
rear also have a heating function
(optional for all other models).
On request, we can equip the
front seats, indeed all four seats,
with seat ventilation (only in
conjunction with seat heating).
A slipstream ef fect is produced
by active ventilation of the per -
forated seat centre and backrest
and by passive aeration at the
side bolsters. This evaporates
perspiration moisture and there -
fore makes for a comfortable
seating environment, even in
hot weather. Seat heating and
seat ventilation can be adjusted
independently to any one of
three power levels. Simultaneous
ventilation and heating is possible.

In the new Panamera and
Panamera 4 models and in the
Panamera S and 4S, a total out -
put of 235 wat ts is produced
through a combination of 11 loud -
speakers. Fit ted as standard in
the Panamera Turbo, the BOSE
®
Surround Sound System (p. 114)
enables the playing of audio
sources in the Dolby Digital 5.1
format. For an even greater sound
experience, PCM can be combined
with the optional Burmester®
High - End Surround Sound System
(p. 116).
In conjunction with the PCM,
an optionally available universal
audio interface enables you to
connect an iPod® or any other
compatible MP3 player via the
USB port.* An AUX interface for
connecting other audio sources is
also provided. An optional hybrid
T V tuner is capable of receiving
free-to -air analogue and digital
broadcasts. PCM can also be
used to control the performance
display of the optional Sport
Chrono Package Plus (p. 74) or
Sport Chrono Package Turbo
(p. 76). A navigation module with high-
speed hard drive is included with
PCM. For route guidance, it is
possible to select bet ween a 2D
display and a new 3D perspec
-
tive. In some regions, it is even
possible for buildings and terrain
superimposed with a satellite
image overlay to be displayed in
3D. The remaining journey dis -
tance is automatically adapted to
the maximum screen size. Split -
screen mode enables you to view
t wo functions at once, such as
the current navigation map and
list of symbols representing your
next driving instructions.
Voice control system.
Do you require navigation assist -
ance, need to make a phone
call or simply want to listen to the
radio? Then why not just say so?
The optional voice control system
for PCM is at your command with
support for word-by-word input.
You can even browse through lists
by voice command.
Electronic logbook.
An electronic logbook is available
for PCM as an option. It enables
automatic logging on every journey
of mileage, route distance, date,
time, starting location and desti -
nation. The soft ware fulfils all
statutory requirements for auto -
matic logbooks as specified by
the German revenue authorities.
Telephone module.
Available as an option for the
Panamera and Panamera 4 (stand-
ard on Panamera S, Panamera 4S
and Panamera Turbo), the GSM
telephone module offers conven -
ience and excellent reception.
By inserting a SIM card directly
into PCM’s integral SIM card
reader, calls can be made using
either the hands-free facilit y or
the cordless handset. For even
more convenience, the Bluetooth®
capabilit y of a mobile phone can
be used to make calls through the
SIM Access Profile (SAP). Once
automatic pairing is complete, the
mobile phone’s aerial is switched
of f to conserve bat ter y charge
and the phone operates via the car aerial. Depending on the t ype
of mobile phone, this gives access
not only to the numbers on the
SIM card, but also to the phone’s
internal memory. Also, depending
on the phone, it can be controlled
using PCM, the multifunction
steering wheel or the voice con -
trol system, without it ever leaving
your pocket.
In addition, the telephone module
enables you to establish a
Bluetooth® link with those mobile
phones that only support the
Handsfree Profile (HFP). In this
case, the GSM connection is
always established through the
aerial of the mobile phone. PCM
acts as a hands-free system and
you can leave the mobile phone
tucked away. Please refer to the
note on page 159.
Stowed in the centre console, the
telephone module has a cordless
Bluetooth
® active handset with
display and keypad so that calls
can be made and received pri -
vately in the presence of other
passengers. However, the handset
cannot be used for Bluetooth
®
links established using the Hands -
free Profile (HFP).

The sound developed by our
research centre in Weissach is
amplified by a sound from Berlin.
We’re talking about Burmester
®,
a bespoke manufacturer based
in Berlin and one of the most re -
spected premium audio manufac -
turers worldwide. The Burmester
®
High - End Surround Sound System
is available as an option for all
Panamera models.
The technologies behind the
system are from the finest of
Burmester’s® premium home audio systems. State- of-the-art
and featured like this in a Porsche
for the first time. The extravagance
is uncompromising, the craf ts-
manship excellent, the sound
phenomenal. The system owes its
eminence to countless details,
and one goal: perfection in sound.
As early as the Panamera concept
phase, Porsche and Burmester
®
had already embarked on a close
collaboration in order to determine
the optimum installation locations
for the special loudspeakers.
Never before has such a large and
acoustically powerful total dia -
phragm surface area been used in
a production vehicle and integrated
to such perfection.
The system has 16 amplifier chan -
nels with a total output of more
than 1,000 wat ts, 16 loudspeakers
including an active subwoofer
with 300 -wat t class D amplifier,
a total diaphragm surface area of
more than 2,400 cm², and a
frequency response of 30 Hz to
20 kHz.
Conceptually, we have broken
en tire ly new ground. Typically
Porsche. Crossover technology
has been carried over more or
less unmodified from the home
audio sector. Analogue and digital
filters have been optimally defined
for their new installation location
and finely tuned af ter extensive
in-car audio testing.
The t weeters are ribbon -based
air motion transformers (AMT) that have been designed specifically
for the Panamera. For unmistak
-
ably fine, clear and undistorted
high-frequency sound reproduction
with excellent level stabilit y.
All loudspeaker housings are
perfectly matched and deliver
superior bass foundation, defini -
tion and impulse accuracy. As
yet unequalled, the result is a nat -ural and richly textured spatial
sound. All of which is achieved,
despite the system’s remarkably
low overall weight, thanks to

intelligent Burmester® light weight
technology.
The elegantly pure design with
galvanised surrounds and
Burmester® logos on selected loudspeakers make it clear that
the appeal of the Burmester
®
High - End Surround Sound System
is as much about the visual as it
is the audio.
‘Made in Germany’ is a sign of quality.
But, not just when it comes to sportscars.

Four adults, luggage for four, one
sportscar. It really does work.
The luggage compartments in the
Panamera, Panamera 4, Panamera S
and Panamera 4S models have
a capacit y of 445 litres. In con -junction with the BOSE
® Surround
Sound System or Burmester
®
High-End Surround Sound System,
they of fer 432 litres of luggage
space, equal to the luggage
capacit y of the Panamera Turbo.
Ample space for four suitcases from the Porsche Design Driver’s
Selection range, for example.
What makes the storage space
special is that the four suitcases
can be stowed in such a way
that you can remove whichever
one you choose with ease – no reshuf fling required. They can
then be concealed using the
retractable
luggage compartment
cover (fitted
as standard) or
the optional re movable luggage
compartment cover.
The key to this solution is the
extraordinary height of the
luggage compartment achieved
through the special geometry
of the rear lid and the large rear
screen. The wide opening angle of
the rear lid facilitates convenient
loading.
A rarely encountered feature
in this vehicle class is the fully
or split-folding rear seats. In the
cargo position, the available
luggage capacit y in the new
Panamera and Panamera 4 mod -
els and in the Panamera S and 4S
increases to 1,263 litres. In con -
junction with the BOSE
® Surround
Sound System or Burmester®
High-End Surround Sound System,
the luggage compartment has a
capacit y of 1,250 litres, equal to
that of the Panamera Turbo. The
Panamera and Panamera S have a
total payload of up to 605 kg, the
Panamera 4 and 4S 580 kg and
the Panamera Turbo 530 kg.

Perhaps even more important than
its capacit y alone is the luggage
compartment ’s versatilit y. The rear
seats fold independently, allowing
various transport configurations
– even if one of the rear seats is
occupied. Stowage nets in the
side trim panels are provided
for smaller items. A ski bag is available as an option and, to
accommodate it, the centre
section bet ween the rear seats
folds separately.
In the back: lots of room.
Right at the back: even more.
