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.
