Concept | The Panamera model range
As you can see, we didn’t experi -
ment with the car’s design. We
stuck with our philosophy that form
should follow function. Nothing
else would have made sense.
Nothing else would have produced
a four-seater Porsche.
But how can you tell whether it
has the Porsche DNA? From the distinctive proportions and lines
on all models. The wings are
slightly higher than the bonnet
and, at the rear, they are distinctly
muscular and form the t ypical
Porsche shoulder line. The silhou
-
et te of the Panamera models is
therefore t ypically Porsche. It is
dynamic without being overbear -
ing, and exudes elegance rather than extravagance. In its class,
the total length of less than five
metres is to its advantage. The
front, shoulders, and rear all have
instantly recognisable Porsche
traits. Particularly striking are the
side air outlets behind the front
wheels – paying homage to
the Carrera GT. The result is a
timeless exterior, a spacious
interior and excellent aerody
-
namics: the Panamera S models
have a drag coef ficient of 0.29,
the Panamera models and the
Panamera Turbo 0.30.
A low, wide stance. A sleek roof -
line. The overall impression leaves
you in no doubt that these are true
sportscar proportions. Typically
Porsche. And yet, when you get
in, you’ll wonder how there can
possibly be so much room. We’ll
come to that on the pages that
f ol l o w.
Unmistakably Porsche and yet
characteristically Panamera is
the headlight design (p. 80). The
headlights on the Panamera Turbo
are supplemented by the Porsche
Dynamic Light System (PDLS)
(p. 83).
Position lights and day time run -
ning lights with LED technology
on all Panamera models add a
special touch.
The wheels are of classic sports -
car design: fine-spoked, light-
weight, and st ylish. Sizes range
from 18 inches to an optional
20 inches, and all the wheels pro -
vide a good glimpse of the brake
system. Just another example
of sport y st yling.
If you loved the road,
you wouldn’t dream of tarnishing it.

Concept | Panamera and Panamera 4
On the new Panamera 4, drive
force is transmit ted to the road
by the active all-wheel drive of
Porsche Traction Management
(PTM, p. 60) and by the 7-speed
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
with Auto start /stop function, both
of which are fit ted as standard.
The steel spring suspension is
standard on both models, of fering
a high level of comfort despite
its sport y setup. Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM,
p. 66) or adaptive air suspension
with PASM are available on
request.
Also standard is Porsche Stabilit y
Management (PSM, p. 72), which
maintains stabilit y even at the
limits of dynamic driving perform -
ance, delivering bet ter traction
and increased safet y.
And yet the gross weight of these
models is as low as 1,730 kg. Driv-
ing pleasure is simply inevitable.
The figures speak for themselves:
the new Panamera accelerates
from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/ h) in
6.8 seconds, with a top speed
of 162 mph (261 km/ h). With the
optional Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK), these figures are an even
more impressive 6.3 seconds
and 161 mph (259 km/ h). The
Panamera 4 completes the 0 to
62 mph (100 km/ h) sprint in
just 6.1 seconds and has a top
speed of 159 mph (257 km/ h). Both models are equipped with
Bi-Xenon headlights as standard.
The interior offers plent y of
comfort and lots of space. The
t wo individual seats in the rear
compartment fold separately
or jointly, increasing luggage
capacit y to 1,263 litres. Auto -
matic climate control is standard.
Three interior colours are avail -
able for the partial leather interior.
The seat surfaces, inner backrest
sur faces and side bolsters,
door handles, door armrests and
armrest section of the centre
console are finished in embossed
leather, while the gear lever or
selector and steering wheel rim
are in smooth -finish leather.
The three-spoke sports steering
wheel, black dial faces and inte -
rior trims in high -gloss black add
to the interior’s visual appeal.
P o r s c h e C o m m u n i c a t i o n Manage-
ment (PCM, p. 108) with naviga -
tion module is fit ted as standard.
The BOSE® Surround Sound
System (p. 114) or the Burmester®
High-End Surround Sound System
(p. 116) are available as options.
The new Panamera and Panamera 4
models offer the best of both
worlds: performance and practi -
calit y. They are comfortable, luxu -
rious, fit for long journeys, and
every bit a Porsche.

You could choose to drive a sport y
saloon. Or a sport y MPV. Alterna -
tively, you could choose to drive a
four-seater Porsche. Just like the
Panamera S or Panamera 4S, with
per formance figures to match
many a sport y t wo -seater.
The S models are recognisable by
the silver- coloured brake calipers
behind the 18-inch Panamera S
wheels and by their round t win

But a classic sportscar nonetheless.

tailpipes. The side windows have
a chrome- coloured border. In the
interior, the silver- coloured rev
counter dial is visually striking.
On the Panamera S, the double
slats on the side air intakes are
black. On the Panamera 4S, they
are titanium-coloured.
Both models have a 4.8-litre
naturally aspirated V8 engine that
produces 294 kW (400 hp)
and 500 Nm of torque. On the
Panamera S, power is transmit ted
to the rear wheels by the standard
6 -speed manual gearbox. The
7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK) is available as an option. On
the Panamera 4S, PDK is standard
and transmits drive force to the
all-wheel drive of Porsche Trac-
tion Management (PTM, p. 60) –
also fit ted as standard. The Panamera S accelerates from
0 to 62 mph (100 km/ h) in just
5.6 seconds, with a top speed of
177 mph (285 km/ h). With the
optional PDK, figures of 5.4
sec
-
onds and 176 mph (283 km/ h)
are
achieved. The Panamera 4S
completes the sprint in only
5.0 seconds and has a top speed
of 175 mph (282 km/ h).
Steel spring suspension with
Porsche Active Suspension Man -
agement
(PASM, p. 66) is fit ted as
standard in both models. Adaptive
air suspension, 20 -inch wheels
and a sports exhaust system are
just three of many options you can
select to personalise your vehicle.
Safet y features include Bi-Xenon
headlights with dynamic range
adjustment (p. 80), which provide
more effective illumination of
the road and are fit ted as stand -
ard on both models. Also standard
is Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM,
p. 65) and the automatically
dimming mirrors.
A high level of interior comfort is
assured by the automatic climate control system and the heated
seats fit ted as standard in the
front, with seat heating optional
for the rear. Seat ventilation is
available on request. The partial
leather interior has the same
specification as for the Panamera/
Panamera 4.
Porsche Communication Mana -
gement (PCM) with navi gation
module is standard on both the Panamera S and Panamera 4S.
The BOSE
® Surround Sound
System (p. 114) or Burmester
®
High-End Surround Sound System
(p. 116) are both optional.
These options are only the
be ginning when it comes to
customising the Panamera S or
4S. Give your four-seater Porsche
your ver y own personal touch.

Concept | Panamera Turbo
Four doors. Four seats. Eight
cylinders. Up to this point, others
may even have been able to
keep up. But then comes a point
of dif ference in the form of the
Panamera Turbo. It not only joins
a long line of Porsche Turbo
models, it leads the way with its
extensive standard equipment
Meet the pinnacle of the Panamera range.
The Panamera Turbo.
combined with a host of features
that are exclusive to a Turbo.
What about the aesthetics?
19 -inch Panamera Turbo wheels
and red brake calipers, naturally.
Twin dual-tube tailpipes in the
unmistakable Turbo design. Four
LED day time running lights in each headlight unit with separate
direction indicators. The front
apron features horizontal slats
and longitudinal struts in the air
intakes. The air outlets in the wing
behind the front wheels also
have slats. Five, to be exact,
and all in a chrome finish. The auto - deploying t wo -piece rear
spoiler is t ypically characteristic.
The Panamera Turbo is powered
by a 4.8-litre V8 t win -turbo engine
that generates an output of
368 kW (500 hp) and 700 Nm.
The seven-speed Porsche Doppel -
kupplung (PDK, p. 55) is fit ted
as standard, as is Porsche Traction
Management (PTM, p. 60) with
active all-wheel drive and an elec -
tronic and map-controlled multi -
plate clutch.
Performance is exemplary. The
Panamera Turbo races from 0 to
62 mph (100 km/ h) in just 4.2 sec-
onds and has a top speed of
188 mph (303 km/ h).
Also fit ted as standard in the
Panamera Turbo is adaptive air
suspension including Porsche
Active Suspension Management
(PASM) with three damping, sus -
pension and ride-height set tings
ranging from comfort to extra
sport y (p. 66 – 69). Increased
performance or greater comfort?
The choice is yours. Simply press
the but ton.
And what about the interior?
Typically Porsche with all the
usual Turbo features. A perfect
combination of sportiness and
comfort. As standard equipment,
the interior features electrically
adjustable
14-way power seats
with memory package in the front
(p. 104), with seat heating front
and rear.
Also standard are the
smooth-finish leather and walnut
interior packages. Alternatively,
the
anthracite birch, tineo or
brushed aluminium interior
packages are available at no
extra cost.
Moreover, the Porsche Commu -
nication Management (PCM)
with
navigation module – standard
on
all models – has been combined
with the BOSE
® Surround Sound
System (p. 114).
The Burmester®
High-End
Surround Sound System
(p. 116) is also available as an
option.

For extra storage space, a large
rear centre console is available as
an option. Two 12-volt sockets
are included.
The interior lighting concept with
switch-off delay was designed
with not only practicalit y in mind
but also aesthetic appeal. This includes illuminated door handles
and storage compartments in
the front, orientation lighting and
front foot well lights. Also, reading
lights and interior lights – one of
each for all four seats.
An optional interior lighting pack -
age conceived specifically for the
rear adds t wo reading lights to the
overhead console, lights in each
foot well, additional orientation
lighting in the rear, and illumination
for door storage compartments
and the compartment in the rear
centre console. Nearly all lights
are power ful yet energy- ef ficient
LEDs. The additional ambient lighting on the overhead consoles
in the front and rear and the read
-
ing lights are dimmable.
The rooflining in Alcantara is
standard for the Turbo and
optional for the other models. As an option, it is possible to have
thermally and noise insulated glass
fit ted. Alternatively, dark-tinted
glazing will maintain your privacy
and protect the interior from the
effects of strong sunlight. Just
like the electric roll-up sunblinds
on the rear side windows and
behind the rear seats.
