For saloon drivers, it seems,
the interior is no place for engine
noise. But how important is the
engine to you? We thought so. Just
as important as it is to us. This is
why we – like you – are perfectly
happy with that seductive sound.
We – like you – want to hear that
the Panamera models are unmis -
takably Porsche.
When it comes to the environment,
the facts speak for themselves.
Engines with high ef ficiency and
low fuel consumption. High power
output with comparatively low CO
2
emissions per hp.
Low on weight, too. The light-alloy
engines have cast aluminium pis -
tons (Panamera and Panamera S
models) or forged pistons
(Panamera Turbo), aluminium
one-piece cylinder heads and an aluminium crankcase of closed-
deck construction. The casing
and cooling ducts around the

cylinders form a closed system.
The engines are therefore light-
weight for reduced fuel con-
sumption and have a long service
life.
The V6 engine, which is based on
the V8 engine, additionally fea -
tures a balance shaf t to minimise
vibrations and ensure smooth
running.
An integrated dry-sump lubrication
system guarantees a reliable sup -
ply of oil in all driving situations.
Instead of an external oil tank, the
oil reservoir is located directly
inside the engine, which saves on
space and weight.
Electronic engine management
system.
The electronic engine management
system ensures optimum engine
performance at all times. In par -

So you want to satisfy your green credentials
even in the red zone?
Engines.ticular, it evaluates the signals of
the electronic accelerator pedal
(E- Gas) – a prerequisite for Porsche
Stabilit y Management (PSM, p. 72),
which is fit ted as standard. More -
over, it regulates all engine-related
functions and assemblies. The
results: optimum performance
and torque with reduced fuel
consumption and
emissions,
whatever your driving st yle. Another important function is the
cylinder-specific knock control,
which compensates for dif ferent
fuel grades added to the engine.
Since cylinders never all work
under exactly the same conditions,
the ignition point is shifted indi -
vidually, as and when necessary.
The on -board diagnostics ensure
timely detection of any faults and
defects that may occur in the
exhaust and fuel systems and
notif y the driver immediately. This
also prevents increased pollutant
emissions and unnecessary fuel
consumption.

The Porsche Dynamic Light Sys-
tem (PDLS) is standard on the
Panamera Turbo and available as
an option for all other Panamera
models. Its dynamic cornering
light function swivels the head -
lights towards the inside of a bend
based on steering angle and road
speed and the static cornering
lights activate the auxiliary head -
lights in order to illuminate more
of the road on tight bends and
turns. Put simply, when you enter
a bend, the road ahead is illumi -
nated immediately so you can see
any obstacles much sooner.
The system also features speed-
dependent headlight range con -
trol. With adaptive light systems,
it is possible for the maximum
range of the dipped beams to be
increased as a function of the
speed of the vehicle. PDLS takes
care of this automatically. Stage
1 is the basic position for driving in cit y traffic,
for example. Stage
2 is for designed for driving at
faster
speeds, such as on the
motorway. Here, the range of the
dipped beams is adjusted by
adapting the shape of the light
cone, extending it further forward
to improve visibilit y without
dazzling oncoming traffic.
Another feature of the PDLS,
the adverse weather function, is
activated when you switch on
the rear fog
light. It reduces the
effect of reflection phenomena
in poor visibility conditions, e.g.
fog,
heav y rain or snow fall. The
dipped beams are fanned out
and the light cone is lowered to
reduce
the risk of the driver
being
dazzled.
Vehicles with the driver memory
package or 14-way power seats
with memory package (standard
in the Panamera Turbo) feature LED courtesy lights in the exterior
mirrors to illuminate the area
around the doors.
In the event of sudden braking,
the adaptive LED brake lights of
the Panamera model range pulsate
to alert following traffic more
quickly to a critical situation.
Cut ting edge LED technology is
also used for the taillights, the
additional brake light in the rear
lid, the rear direction indicators
and the rear fog light. LEDs
provide bet ter illumination and
respond more quickly to driver
input. Not only do they increase
active safet y in this way, they are
energy ef ficient, eco -friendly
and have a longer service life than
conventional bulbs. Furthermore,
their design is unmistakably

Porsche, day or night.

On request, we can equip any
Panamera model in the range with
a braking system that has already
had to cope with the harshest
requirements of the racetrack: the
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB). For the Panamera
and Panamera S models, it is
available only in conjunction with
19 -inch wheels or larger and for
the Panamera Turbo, it is com
-
patible only with 20 -inch wheels.
On the Panamera and
Panamera S models, the cross-
drilled ceramic brake discs have
a diameter of 390 mm at the
front and 350 mm at the rear. To
cope with more powerful brak -
ing on the Panamera Turbo,
these discs are 410 mm at the
front and 350 mm at the rear.
PCCB is characterised by its low
thermal expansion, which pre -
vents deformation under heav y
braking. Furthermore, the
ceramic brake discs are totally
resistant to corrosion and offer
more favourable noise- damping
properties. The use of six-piston aluminium
monobloc brake calipers on the
front axle and four-piston units at
the rear – all finished in yellow
– ensures extremely high brake
forces which, crucially, are excep
-
tionally consistent. The pedal
response is fast and precise with
only moderate input required.
All the necessary ingredients are
there for a short braking distance,
even in the toughest conditions.
Moreover, safet y under braking at
high speeds is increased thanks
to the excellent fade resistance of
PCCB.
The key advantage of PCCB is
the extremely low weight of the
ceramic brake discs, which are
approximately 50 % lighter than
standard discs of similar design
and size. As well as enhancing
performance and fuel economy, this represents a major reduction
in unsprung and rotating masses.
The consequence of this is bet ter
road holding and increased com
-
fort, particularly on uneven roads,
as well as greater agilit y and
improved handling. Please note that circuit racing,
track day use and other forms of
performance driving can signifi
-
cantly reduce the service life of
even the most durable brake pads
and discs.
As with conventional high-
performance braking systems,
we recommend that all brake
components be professionally
inspected and replaced where
necessary after every track
event.

Presumably, you won’t be using your Panamera for motorsport activities.
But you never know.

Fuel.
All Porsche models – including the
Panamera – are already designed
to operate on fuels with an ethanol
content of up to 10 %. Ethanol
has a positive impact on the CO
2 balance since the plants grown
for the production of this biofuel
also absorb CO
2 from the atmo
-
sphere.
The release of hydrocarbons
from the fuel system has been
minimised thanks in no small part
to the active carbon filter and the
multilayered material from which
the fuel tank is made. All fuel lines
are made from multilayered plastic,
steel or aluminium.
Noise.
The Panamera complies with
all applicable noise regulations
without any form of engine en -
capsulation. To achieve this,
noises are eliminated at source. Engine parts are stif f, moving
parts are light weight and toler-
ances are kept to a minimum.
No nuisance noise to be heard,
just the characteristic Porsche
sound.
Servicing.
Long service intervals are not

only more convenient, they
reduce ownership costs. They
also promote a more sparing
use of consumables and replace -
ment parts, which is in both our
interests. For you, lower costs
and saved time are t wo major
benefits, but perhaps the greatest
benefit is for the environment.
For full details of service intervals,
please refer to the separate price
list.
