V6 engine
Panamera and Panamera 4: 220 kW (300 hp) at 6,200 rpm, 400 Nm at 3,750 rpm
New V6 engine.
The new Panamera and Panamera 4
models are equipped with an
ef ficient and light weight 3.6 -litre
naturally aspirated V6 engine
based on the V8 power unit. A
balance shaft reduces vibration
to ensure very smooth operation.
Direct fuel injection (DFI) and
VarioCam Plus are featured as
standard. The engine delivers
220 kW (300 hp) at 6,200 rpm.
Maximum torque of 400 Nm is
achieved at 3,750 rpm.
This impressive power output
enables the rear-wheel- drive
Panamera with manual gearbox
to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph
(100 km/ h) in only 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). Thanks to
PDK and the active all-wheel drive
of Porsche Traction Management
(PTM), the Panamera 4 completes
the sprint in 6.1 seconds and
has a top speed of 159 mph
(257 km/ h).

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.

In models with the V8 engine,
exhaust gas cleaning is supported
by an air injection system. A com-
pressor pumps extra air into the
exhaust tract during the cataly tic
converter warm-up phase for
faster heating and, therefore,
lower emissions.
Other measures for improving fuel
economy are the Auto start/stop
function (p. 50) and electrical
system recuperation, whereby the
vehicle bat tery is charged pre-
dominantly under braking. Under
acceleration, on the other hand,
the charging current of the regu -
lated alternator is reduced so that
the engine does not need to work
as hard to charge the bat tery.
Lightweight construction and
recycling.
A fundamental objective in the
development of any Porsche is
intelligent lightweight construction.
For both economical and ecologi -
cal reasons. This forms the basis
for low fuel consumption values in conjunction with outstanding
performance. It is economical
thanks to the high proportion of
aluminium cast alloys, plastics
and super-high-strength sheet
steel used. This is substantially
more stable and lighter than
conventional steel. The Panamera
models have a bodyshell with a
light weight-metal content of 23 %.
For example, the bonnet, doors,
front wings and rear lid are made
of aluminium, which saves on
weight and has a positive ef fect
on the environmental balance:
according to eco balance sheets,
the extra energy used and the
higher emissions incurred in the
manufacturing of aluminium
are more than compensated by
the savings on fuel af ter only a
relatively short distance.
It is also responsible because all
materials used are meticulously
selected. We use only innovative
and environmentally friendly com -
ponents. All light weight materials
are easily recyclable and each
material is labelled to facilitate its
separation for recycling. The reduction in the number of plastic
variants helps to ensure more
efficient recycling. Recycled plas
-
tics are used where they meet our
exacting technical requirements
In all, the Panamera is approxi -
mately 95 % recyclable.
In addition, Porsche uses only
environmentally friendly water-
based paints, thus reducing
the need for solvents both in pro -
duction and in the workshop.
The Panamera is also absolutely
free of asbestos, CFCs and
components manufactured using
CFCs because, here at Porsche,
environmental protection does
not begin at the end of a vehicle’s
life. It starts at the planning and
development stage.
