SPORT buttons and
Sport Chrono P ackage.
The Panamera GTS is more sport-oriented
than the other models in the Panamera
range. You can feel it and you
can hear
it the moment you start the engine and
depress the accelerator. With the SPORT
and SPORT PLUS
buttons, both of which
are available as standard, you have a
choice bet ween
t wo modes to make your
Panamera GTS
driving experience more and measure distances, it can also be
used as a conventional clock.
Another key component is the perfor
-
mance display in the standard Porsche
Communication Management (PCM, p. 36),
which enables you to view, store and
evaluate recorded times. It shows the
total driving time, current lap distance,
lap number and lap times recorded so
far. You can view the current fastest lap
and the remaining range until empt y.
Travelled distances can be recorded
and defined as benchmark distances.
direct and
dynamic. When the SPORT
button is selected, the electronic engine
management system adapts for sportier
performance driving. In response to
pedal input, a more dynamic throt tle
map opens the throt tle valve wider than
would be the case in Normal mode.
The throt tle response is significantly
more immediate and a harder rev-limiter
is applied. PDK shifts up later and shifts
down sooner. Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM) and the optional
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDDC)
also switch to SPORT mode to deliver
harder damping and more direct steering,
which provides greater agilit y through
corners.
The SPORT PLUS but ton activates
SPORT PLUS mode. The adaptive air
suspension of the Panamera GTS drops
the chassis to Low Level and hardens the spring rate. Offering involving perfor
-
mance, PDK is now geared for extremely
short shift times and optimum shift
points for the maximum acceleration
available. In automatic mode, PDK
responds to the slightest deceleration –
even at high engine speeds – with a
swifter brake-induced downshift. In
response to downshifts in manual mode,
the electronic engine management
system initiates a purposeful increase
in transmission speed to suppress
load- change reactions.
In SPORT PLUS mode, the trigger thresh -
old for PSM is raised for increased
longitudinal and lateral dynamics. Agility
is further enhanced when braking for
corners with PSM enabling greater
manoeuvrability under braking and exit
acceleration, especially at low speeds.
For even greater dexterit y, PSM can be set to standby while the car is still in
SPORT PLUS mode. For safet y, it
remains set to intervene automatically
only when ABS assistance is required
on both the front wheels.
Optimum acceleration from a standing
start is provided by the ‘Launch Control’
function. This function is operated via
the SPORT PLUS but ton with the ‘D’ or
‘M’ drive position selected. With the left
foot depressing the brake pedal, the
driver fully depresses the accelerator
for maximum throt tle. ‘Launch Control’
now appears in the SportDesign steering
wheel spoke display. Now simply release
the brake and feel the acceleration
power unleashed to the road.
The stopwatch mounted on the dash -
board is a component of the Sport Chrono
Package. Designed to record lap times
