Balance
BalanceFor us, sportiness is always measured against the safet y on which every thing is based.
For a sports car like the Panamera GTS, this mat ters more than ever.
We plan for every eventuality.
Just to be on the safe side.
Lighting concept.
Foresight begins with good visibility.
This is why the Panamera GTS is
equipped with Bi-Xenon main headlights
including Porsche Dynamic Light System
(PDLS). Its dynamic cornering light func -
tion swivels the headlights towards the
inside of a bend, based on steering angle
and road speed, and the static cornering
lights activate the auxiliary headlights in order to illuminate more of the road at
tight bends and turns. In addition, PDLS
adapts light distribution to suit the cur
-
rent speed and visibility conditions. Also
fit ted as standard are the four LED day -
time running spot lights in each main
headlight.
The lighting system features a ‘Welcome
Home’ function – a customisable delayed
switch-off timer that keeps the day time
running lights, the taillights and the
courtesy lights in the exterior mirrors
switched on until you reach your front
door.
Engineered body design.
The fully galvanised light weight body-
shell in steel and aluminium produces a
highly resilient passenger cell that offers
high levels of protection in the event of
an impact. A system of longitudinal and
transverse members at the front absorbs
energy, disperses the force of impact
and minimises deformation of the pas -
senger cell. A rigid bulkhead cross mem -
ber reduces deformation of the foot well
and provides improved protection for
the feet and legs.
The active bonnet system is designed
with enhanced pedestrian safet y in mind.
If the sensors in the front apron detect
a collision, this system raises the rear
portion of the bonnet, which can help to
reduce the risk of injury.
Airbags.
In addition to knee airbags and full-size
airbags for the driver and front passen -
ger, the Panamera GTS is equipped as
standard with the Porsche Side Impact
Protection System (POSIP). This comprises
side airbags in the front seats, curtain
airbags along the entire roof frame and
side windows from the A-pillar to the
C-pillar, and side impact protection
elements in the doors. Side airbags in
the rear compartment are available as
an option.

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.

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.
