Panamera GTS
PerformanceSupreme performance is a concept that will never become clichéd as far as Porsche is
concerned. We’ve devoted far too much passion to it. If you want to know exactly what
the ‘GTS’ logo promises in terms of performance, you would be bet ter off experiencing it
for yourself. In the meantime, we’ve compiled some facts and figures for you.
Why is your pulse racing all of a sudden?
Pure physics.

force is distributed to the front by a more
powerful engagement of the multiplate
clutch. In addition, ASR reduces wheel
slip. When cornering, the front wheels
only ever receive as much drive force
as is necessary to guarantee optimum
lateral stabilit y. In this way, PTM, in inter -
action with Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM, p. 27) ensures that the perfect
distribution of drive is achieved every
time: whether on long straights, through
tight corners, or on surfaces with differ -
ent friction coef ficients. In this situation,
traction is additionally enhanced by the
automatic brake differential (ABD).
Whenever the brake control systems are
required to intervene, PTM decouples the
front axle completely so that PSM inter -
ventions can take place at each individual
wheel.
SportDesign steering wheel.
In the Panamera GTS, the SportDesign
steering wheel is fit ted as standard and
features gearshift paddles and a top
centre marking on its smooth-finish
leather rim.
The paddles are made from a strong
alloy and are ergonomically located
behind the right and left steering wheel
spokes. Pull the right-hand paddle to
shift up and pull the left-hand paddle
to shift down. A display in the left- and
right-hand steering wheel spokes tells
you whether SPORT, SPORT PLUS and
‘Launch Control’ (p. 28) are activated.
As an option, it is possible to have the
SportDesign steering wheel rim finished
in black Alcantara.
Porsche T raction Management (PTM).
Fit ted as standard in the Panamera GTS,
Porsche Traction Management (PTM)
comprises an active all-wheel drive with
electronic and mapcontrolled multiplate
clutch with automatic brake differential
(ABD) and antislip regulation (ASR).
The electronically controlled multiplate
clutch regulates the fully variable distrib -
ution of drive force bet ween the perma -
nently driven rear axle and the front axle.
Through continuous monitoring of driving
conditions, the electronics are able
to respond to a variet y of situations.
Sensors check, among other variables,
the rotation speeds of all four wheels,
the longitudinal and lateral acceleration
of the vehicle, and the steering angle.
If the rear wheels threaten to spin under
acceleration, a greater proportion of drive
