V8 twin-turbo engine.
The Panamera Turbo is powered
by a 4.8-litre V8 t win -turbo engine
with direct fuel injection (DFI),
VarioCam Plus and charge-air
cooling. It generates 368 kW
(500 hp) at 6,000 rpm and its
maximum torque of 700 Nm is
available bet ween 2,250 and
4,500 rpm. With a top speed of
188 mph (303 km/ h), it races
from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/ h) in
4.2 seconds. Using the Launch
Control function of the Sport
Chrono Package Turbo (p. 76),
the clock stops even sooner at
4.0 seconds.

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.

® High-End Surround Sound System.

Climate control.
Climate control, with zonal regula -
tion in the front compartment, is
standard in all models. Tempera -
ture and airflow volume, speed
and direction can therefore be set
individually for the driver and front
passenger seat positions. An
active carbon filter traps particles,
pollen and odours and an auto -
matic air- recirculation function permanently monitors air qualit y,
reduces humidit y and switches
from fresh to recirculated air
when required. Even the glove
compartment is actively cooled
when necessary. With the ignition
switched of f, it is also possible
to use the residual heat of the
engine to heat the passenger
compartment for up to 20 min
-
utes. Four-zone climate control is avail
-
able for all models on request.
With this option, the driver has
access to separate controls for
both seat positions in the rear.
A control panel on the rear centre
console also enables the rear
passengers to select their own
climate control set tings for their
respective seat position, inde -
pendently of the set tings in the
front compartment.
Thermally and noise insulated
glass.
All Panamera models are equipped
as standard with tinted heat- insu -
lated glass and a grey top -tint
on the windscreen. Available as
an option is a thermally and noise
insulated glass for all round more
ef ficient reflection of infrared
radiation. Enjoy an even more pleasant climate and peace
and quiet in the passenger com -
partment.
Water-repellent side windows.
The front side windows of the
Panamera model range have been
treated with a water- repellent
coating so that not only water but also dirt runs away more easily,
thereby providing optimum visibil
-
it y even in poor weather. (Note:
surface finish requires occasional
renewal depending on vehicle
usage.)
You don’t need us to reiterate the correlation
between comfort and convenience.
Additional comfort and convenience features go hand in hand.
