Concept | The Panamera model range
The rear lid with large glass screen
opens to a wide angle. This
makes
loading easier and im
proves
access to luggage when the vehi -
cle is laden. An automatic rear
lid with customisable opening
angle is available as an option
(p. 131).
The most striking aspect of the
rear is undoubtedly the spoiler
which is integrated into the
rear lid. From a speed of around
55 mph (90 km/ h), it deploys
automatically, as you may already
have suspected. However, on the
Panamera Turbo, it doesn’t stop
there. The spoiler splits in the
middle and extensions deploy to
the left and right, making it con -
siderably wider to further reduce
lift at the rear axle. And from
127 mph (205 km/ h), the spoiler
on all models adjusts to increase
its steepness to produce even
more traction and, as a result,
increased driving stabilit y at high
speeds. The appearance of any Panamera
model can be customised to your
individual taste. The colour palet te
offers no fewer than 17 exterior
colours. In total, there are t wo
solid, ten metallic and five special
colours to choose from. On re
-
quest, you can opt to have your
Panamera model finished in practi -
cally any colour of your choice.
In addition, a wide range of per -
sonalisation options is available.
For more information, please refer
to page 132 onwards.
So you see, whichever way you
look at it, it looks like a Porsche.
And, most importantly, it feels like
one too. Whatever kind of journey you
are making – short or long, for
business or pleasure, or even just
routine driving – the Panamera
offers something a lit tle bit dif
-
ferent.
When you sit inside one of the
Panamera models, four things
immediately stand out: first, the
elevated centre console; second,
the four individual seats; third,
the amount of space in the rear where even taller passengers will
find plent y of leg and head room;
and fourth, the versatilit y of the
luggage compartment thanks to
the folding rear seats.
The ignition lock is, of course,
located on the left-hand side

of the steering wheel, as in all

Porsche vehicles. The instrument
cluster incorporating the central
rev counter is clear and quick
to read.
The four individual seats (p. 104)
are comfortable and of fer good
lateral support. In conjunction
with seat heating, a seat ventila -
tion function is also available as
an option. The electrically adjust -
able 8-way power seats in the
rear (p. 106) are another special
feature available on request.
Why four individual seats?
Because only these satisf y our
requirement for high-perform -
ance driving and a high level of
seating comfort. Conventional
rear bench seats can not fulfil
this requirement and instead
made way for a centre console.

A Porsche holds the road well, its
handling is sport y and precise –
but you’ve known this for a long
time.
What you might not know is
that, with the optional Porsche
Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
with Porsche Torque Vectoring
Plus (PT V Plus), road holding can
be even further improved in all the Panamera models for even more
dynamic per formance and
increased comfort.
PDCC is an active anti-roll system
that anticipates and significantly
reduces lateral body movement
during cornering manoeuvres. In
addition, it minimises the lateral
instabilit y of the vehicle on uneven
ground. The ef fect is achieved with the aid of active anti-roll bars
on the front and rear axles which
respond to the current steering
angle and lateral acceleration

by producing a stabilising force
that precisely negates the roll
of the body.
PT V Plus combined with PDCC is
a system that actively enhances
vehicle dynamics and stabilit y. Operating in conjunction with an
electronically regulated rear dif
-
ferential lock, it works by varying
the torque distribution to the rear
wheels. As a function of steering
angle and steering speed,
accel -
erator pedal position, yaw rate and

vehicle speed, PT V Plus is able
to improve steering response and
steering precision by specific
braking of the right or left rear
wheel.
To be more precise, this means
that when the car is driven asser -
tively into a corner, moderate
brake pressure is applied to the inside rear wheel. Consequently,
a greater amount of drive force is
distributed to the outside rear
wheel, inducing an additional
rotational pulse (yaw movement)
around the vehicle’s vertical axis.
This results in a direct and sport y
steering action as the car enters
the corner.
At low and medium vehicle speeds,
PT V Plus significantly increases
agilit y and steering precision.
At high speeds and when acceler -
ating out of corners, the elec -
tron
ically regulated rear differential
lock ensures greater driving
stabilit y. It also serves to improve
traction at the rear wheels on
road surfaces with varying levels
of grip as well as on snow and ice.
For the driver, this means remark -
able stabilit y and easier handling,
optimum traction, and greater
agilit y at every speed with precise
steering and stable load transfer
characteristics. The result is
a high level of driving pleasure.

SPORT button.
The SPORT but ton, which is fit ted
as standard, enables you to
select a setup that favours either
comfort or sport y performance.
At the push of a but ton, the elec -
tronic engine management system
switches the engine mapping
to of fer an even sharper response
and engine dynamics that are more direct. In vehicles with
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK),
upshif ts in automatic mode take
place at higher engine speeds
than in ‘Comfort ’ mode and

downshifts are swifter. In addition,
Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM) and Porsche
Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
also switch to ‘
SPORT’ mode to
deliver harder damping and more
direct steering and, therefore,
bet ter road holding.
Sport Chrono Package Plus.
You expect sport y performance,
otherwise you wouldn’t be consid -
ering a Porsche. Indeed, you
expect a higher level of sport y
performance, otherwise you
would have no urge to keep read-
ing. Available as an option for
all Panamera models equipped
with the naturally aspirated engine is the Sport Chrono Package Plus
(only in conjunction with Porsche
Communication Management –
PCM). This package of fers even
sportier tuning of the chassis and
engine setup – the ultimate sports
experience.
Included in the package are a
digital and analogue stopwatch,
the SPORT PLUS but ton, and a
per formance display in the PCM
for displaying lap times.
When the SPORT PLUS but ton
on the centre console is selected,
the engine management system
adapts for performance driving
and the rev-limiter is adjusted to a
harder set ting.
The Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM) – standard in
the Panamera S, 4S and Turbo,
optional for the Panamera and
Panamera 4 – also switches to ‘
SPORT PLUS’ mode for harder d a m p
-
ing
and more direct steering, and,
therefore, bet ter road holding. The
optional adaptive air suspension
(standard in the Panamera Turbo)
drops the chassis to Low Level
and hardens the spring rate.
In ‘
SPORT PLUS’ mode, the trigger
threshold for PSM is raised for
increased longitudinal and lateral
dynamics. Agilit y is enhanced
when braking for corners with PSM
enabling greater manoeuvrabilit y
under braking and exit accel-
eration, especially at low speeds.
For maximum dexterit y, PSM
can be set to standby while the
car is still in ‘SPORT PLUS’ mode.
For safet y, it is set to intervene
automatically only when ABS
assistance is required on both the
front wheels.
A key component of the Sport
Chrono Package Plus is the stop -
watch mounted on the dashboard.
It displays recorded driving time
in hours, minutes and seconds.
Seconds, tenths and hundredths
of a second appear on a display
screen. Alternatively, the stop -
watch can be used as a conven -
tional clock. Porsche Communica -
tion Management (PCM, p. 108)
has a special performance display
to view, store and evaluate
lap times or other driving times.
It shows the total driving time,
lap distance, lap number and lap
times recorded so far. You can
view the current fastest lap and
the remaining range until empt y.
It is also useful away from the
racetrack. Evaluate your daily
mileage or define benchmark
times – and rediscover your old
routes.

Porsche brakes are renowned
for their stopping power, set ting
the standards for deceleration
and stabilit y. They are designed to
cope with extreme forces such
as those experienced during hard
braking.
The Panamera, Panamera 4,
Panamera S and Panamera 4S all
have a braking system equipped
with six-piston aluminium mono -
bloc fixed brake calipers at the front and four-piston aluminium
monobloc fixed calipers at
the rear. The brake calipers on
the Panamera and Panamera 4
are finished in black; on the
Panamera S and Panamera 4S,
they are silver-coloured.

The brake disc diameters are
360 mm and 330 mm at the
front and rear respectively.
Owing to its greater engine
power, the Panamera Turbo’s braking system features red-
painted six-piston aluminium mono
-
bloc
fixed brake calipers at the
front and a four-piston unit at the
rear, and brake discs with a
diameter of 390 mm at the front
and 350 mm at the rear for
outstanding braking performance
and a short braking distance.
The brake calipers have an
enclosed monobloc construction.
This makes them tough but light
and enables a rapid response and
release of the brake. The pedal
travel is short and easy to control.
All models have grooved brake
discs ensuring optimum braking
even under extreme conditions.
The discs are internally vented for
rapid heat dispersal.
The Panamera models are also
equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS), designed to keep
deceleration constant. A specially
designed air duct cools the brakes
effectively and, for added safet y,
a brake pad wear indicator for
each wheel informs you when the
brake pads need to be replaced.
The electric parking brake, which
you can activate and deactivate
manually, releases automatically
as you pull away. With the hill-hold function, you can pull away with
-
out ever rolling back. The system
automatically detects when the
vehicle has come to a halt on an
uphill gradient. PSM then main -
tains the brake pressure at all four
wheels for a brief period to pre -
vent the vehicle from moving in
the opposite direction.
