Panamera Turbo. The brake disc dia-
meters are 390 mm and 350 mm at

the front and
rear respectively. The discs
are internally vented and slot ted for
improved heat dispersal and braking
even under extreme conditions.
The electric parking brake, which
can be activated manually, releases
automatically as you pull away.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
The track-tested Porsche Ceramic
Composite Brake (PCCB) is available
on request (only in conjunction with
20 -inch wheels). The diameters of the
cross- drilled ceramic discs are 410 mm and
350 mm at the front and

rear respectively.
PCCB is characterised by its low thermal
expansion, which prevents deformation
under heavy braking. Furthermore, the
ceramic brake discs are totally resistant to
corrosion and offer more favourable noise-
damping properties.
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 results are
improved handling, better road holding
and increased comfort, particularly on
uneven roads.
Brakes.
The brake system of the Panamera GTS,
which features six- piston monobloc
aluminium fixed brake calipers at the
front and four-piston units at the
rear, has been carried over from the

Environment.
Porsche has reduced the CO2 emissions
of its vehicles by an average of around
1.7 % every year for the past 15 years
and by 4.6 % from 2006 to 2010.*
As far as engine output is concerned,

we are already among those manufactur -
ers achieving the lowest CO
2 emissions.
This has been achieved through efficient
drive concepts, lightweight construction,
optimum aerodynamics and low rolling
resistance. In this way, Porsche demon -
strates that even high performance
sports cars can achieve moderate fuel
consumption and exhaust emission
values in their respective category.
How? Through the use of fuel-efficient
technologies such as direct fuel injection
(DFI), VarioCam Plus, auto start/stop and

electrical system recuperation, whereby
the vehicle bat tery is charged
predominantly under braking.
Furthermore, the bodyshell of the
Panamera GTS has an alloy content of
around 23 %. The bonnet, doors, front
wings and rear hatch, for example, are
made of aluminium, which saves weight
and reduces fuel consumption.

speed of your vehicle by restricting throt -
tle or by gently applying the brakes until
your chosen distance from the vehicle in
front is maintained. If the vehicle ahead
slows further, adaptive cruise control
will decelerate your vehicle accordingly.
As soon as the road ahead clears, your
vehicle will accelerate back up to the
cruising speed originally set.
Lane Change Assist.
The optional Lane Change Assist uses
radar sensors to monitor the areas to the
rear of the vehicle and the blind spots
on either side. Above a speed of 18 mph
(30 km/ h), the system issues a visual
warning signal in the exterior mirrors
whenever a vehicle rapidly approaches
your vehicle from behind or enters one
of your blind spots. In this way, Lane
Change Assist improves comfort and
ParkAssist and reversing camera.
Park Assist is fit ted as standard. With
four sensors installed at the rear and six
sensors at the front, it audibly alerts
the driver to the presence of obstacles
detected behind or infront of the vehicle.
The audible alert is supplemented by a
visual warning in the central display
screen in the form of a graphical repre -
sentation of the vehicle’s surroundings.
The optional reversing camera facilitates
reverse parking with the aid of the cam -
era image and guidelines superimposed
on the PCM screen.
Adaptive cruise control.
Available as an option, this enhanced
version of cruise control regulates the
speed of your vehicle in line with the
speed of the vehicle in front. Imagine
you’ve selected a cruising speed but
have begun to gain on a slower-moving
vehicle. The system now reduces the
safety, particularly on motorways. How -
ever, it has no input into vehicle steering
and can be deactivated manually at any
time.
Porsche Entry & Drive.
Designed to minimise active key use,
Porsche Entry & Drive is available as
an option for the Panamera GTS and is recognisable by black inlays on the door
handles. As soon as you touch the door
handle, Porsche Entry & Drive checks

the access code stored in the key. Once
the key is validated, the door unlocks.
The engine can then be started and
switched off using the ignition switch.
To lock the vehicle, you simply press a
but ton on the outside of the door handle.
Porsche Entry & Drive then locks the
vehicle and activates the engine immobi -
liser and steering column lock.
