Wheels and Tyre Pressure Monitoring
(TPM).
The Panamera GTS is an extremely
powerful vehicle, which is why it comes
equipped as standard with 19-inch
Panamera Turbo wheels featuring a
classic sport y design. Tyre sizes
255/45 ZR 19 and 285/40 ZR 19 are
fit ted to the front and rear respectively.
For a wider track, wheel spacers (5 mm)
are fit ted at the rear as standard.
A selection of 19- or 20 -inch wheels is
available in our range of options.
Alternatively, you can select a set of
19-inch all-season tyres. A low-rolling
resistance version of these t yres is availa -
ble as an option. These reduce fuel con-
sumption and offer improved durability.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM), which
is fit ted as standard, sends warnings to
the on-board computer’s display screen
in the event of excessive pressure loss.
Steering and Servotronic.
Precise and direct: describes a t ypical
Porsche steering system – with variable
steering ratio. Around the straight-ahead
position, such as during motorway driv -
ing, the ratio is less direct with no loss
of agilit y or feedback from the road.
When the steering wheel is turned fur -
ther, the ratio becomes more direct,
allowing easier cornering and parking.
Servotronic, the speed-sensitive power-
steering system, is available as an
option. At high speeds, the steering
is firm and responds with extreme
precision while steering comfort remains
as high as you would expect. At low
speeds, Servotronic’s ratio adjusts for
easy manoeuvring and parking.

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

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.
