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

The stated reduction in fuel consumption has been calculated from the fuel consumption figures determined in the NEDC (New European Driving Cycle) for the respective model years of the vehicles 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.

Personalit y
PersonalityA Panamera GTS generates power effortlessly at all times, on any road. Yet, for all this
power, it also offers the highest level of comfort imaginable. At all times, on any road.
This sense of well-being isn’t available
everywhere as standard.
Interior.
An expressive design. Well-conceived
technology. A consistently sport y st yle.
Why should the rules for performance
be any different for the interior? The
interior of the Panamera GTS is sport y,
uncluttered and ergonomic. The layout
is ingeniously designed and functional.
This interior belongs in a sports car. What
strikes you immediately is the elevated
centre console with controls arranged
into logical groups for fast and direct
access by the driver. The steering wheel
adjusts for both height and reach.
The five circular instruments with ‘GTS’
logo on the central rev counter and on the integrated 4.8-inch colour display are
quick, clear and easy to read. The colour
screen gives access, for example, to

the on-board computer or t yre pressure
information and, in conjunction with
PCM, it displays the navigation system
map. That ’s not all. In the Panamera GTS,
it displays the longitudinal and lateral
acceleration forces currently acting on
the vehicle.
Adaptive sports seats are fit ted as
standard. With firm padding and high side
bolsters on the squab and backrest, they
offer good lateral support and provide a
sport y posture. Featuring 18 -way electric
adjustment, the seats can be optimally
adapted to meet your needs in terms of
seat height, squab and backrest angle,
squab length, fore/aft adjustment and
four-way lumbar support. In addition,
the side bolsters on the seat squab and
backrest are independently adjustable for added comfort on long journeys and
precision lateral support through corners.
Also included as standard are seat heat
-
ing for the front seats and a personal
memory function for driver and front
passenger seat positions and lumbar
support as well as the positions of the steering wheel and exterior mirror on

the driver’s side.
The t wo rear seats offer plent y of leg and
head room, even for taller passengers.
The backrests fold down individually with
a ratio of 40:60 to increase storage
capacit y to 1,263 litres.

BOSE® Surround Sound System.
You may wonder why anyone would want
to listen to music rather than the sound
of a Porsche. We understand your
scepticism, but we do have a compelling
solution: BOSE®.
The optional BOSE

System comprises of 9 amplifier channels
with a total output of 585 wat ts. Its
Burmester® High-End Surround Sound
System.
The sound developed by our research
centre in Weissach is amplified by a
sound from Berlin. We’re talking about
Burmester
®, a bespoke manufacturer
based in Berlin and one of the most
respected premium audio manufacturers
worldwide. The optional Burmester® High-
End Surround Sound System can be
combined with the Porsche Communica -
tion Management (PCM).
The technologies behind the system are
from one of the finest Burmester® premium
home audio systems. State-of-the-art
and featured like this in a Porsche for
the first time. The extravagance is
un compromising, the craftsmanship

speakers including an active subwoofer
with 300 -wat t class D amplifier, a total
diaphragm surface area of more than
2,400 cm², and a frequency response of
30 Hz to 20 kHz.
Conceptually, we have broken entirely
new ground. Crossover technology

The BOSE®- patented AudioPilot® noise
compensation technology uses a
microphone to continuously measure
the ambient noise inside the vehicle
and adapts
music playback instantly
and automatical
ly so that a consistent
sound is maintained – whatever the
driving conditions.
As an innovator in the field, BOSE® has
used its considerable experience to adapt the system specifically to the pas
-
senger compartment of the Panamera.
Thanks to signal processing technologies
developed by BOSE
® for the automotive
industry, it has been possible to achieve
optimum acoustics by tailoring the
system to suit the layout of the vehicle
interior.
Regardless of whether you adopt a
relaxed or sport y driving st yle, the result
is a balanced, faithfully reproduced
sound and captivating 360° acoustic
experience delivered to all four seat
positions.

with excellent level stability. All loud -
speaker housings are perfectly matched
and deliver superior bass foundation,

definition and impulse accuracy. As yet
unequalled, the result is a natural and
richly textured spatial sound. All of this is achieved despite the system’s
remarkably low overall weight thanks

to intelligent
Burmester® lightweight
technology. The elegantly pure

design with galvanised surrounds and
Burmester

speakers make it
clear that the appeal

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.
