Engine. 
The Panamera GTS is powered by a  
light weight 4.8-litre V8 naturally aspirated 
engine. It features cast aluminium  
pistons, monobloc aluminium cylinder 
heads and integrated dr y-sump lubrica -
tion for a reliable supply of oil even   
when an extremely sport y driving st yle   
is adopted. Although it is based on the 
engine of the Panamera 4S, it develops 
22 kW (30 hp) more power and gener -
ates 20 Nm more torque. It also has a 
faster-rev ving engine with a maximum 
engine speed that has been increased   
by 400 rpm to 7,100 rpm. The result   
is a maximum power output of 316 kW 
(430 hp) and a maximum torque of   
520 Nm. This power upgrade was achieved 
through a series of measures, including 
modified intake camshafts with extended 
valve lift and a new air induction system 
with t wo additional air filter modules 
each located in the left- and right-hand 
sides of the front apron respectively.
Above 3,500 rpm, the flaps on the air 
 
filter modules are opened to allow the 
engine to draw in air more easily. At high 
road speeds, headwind ram pressure is 
exploited to achieve a further increase   
in power output. 
In addition, the Panamera GTS is 
equipped with a specially modified 
engine management system. Not only 
does this help the engine to develop 
torque quickly for a perceptibly more 
Panamera GTS: 316 kW (430 hp) at 6,700 rpm, 520 Nm at 3,500 rpm
direct engine response, it also contributes 
to a further reduction in the shift times 
achieved by Porsche Doppelkupplung 
(PDK), which is fit ted as standard. It does 
this by deactivating selected engine cyl -
inders temporarily during each gearshift.
Our modifications are reflected in the 
distinctly resonant engine sound   
and can be felt in every bone of your 
body. In SPORT PLUS mode, the 
 
Panamera GTS accelerates from 0 to   
62 mph (100 km/ h) in just 4.5 seconds 
and reaches a top speed of 179 mph 
(288 km/ h).
In short, the drive system of the   
Panamera GTS concentrates 100  %  
on the essentials: maximum sports   
performance.
