The dream of a sports car, but without
compromise in terms of everyday driving.
These claims couldn’t really be further
apart, yet the new Panamera models
incorporate them seamlessly. With a
sport y saloon offering four seats and
extraordinary comfort. Amalgamating
the power of contradictions to create
something utterly distinctive: a Porsche
– for every day of the year.
Day and dream. Concept.

In the beginning, there were doubters.
Four in a sports car – and travelling in
comfort? With luggage but without
compromise? That’ll never work, they
said. But it did, as we now know. The
Panamera gave the automotive executive
class a new lease of life and silenced the
doubters.
Sometimes the most sensible thing to do
is pursue an idea all the way to the top.

The Panamera model range.
Job done, we could have said. But
Porsche wouldn’t be Porsche if we rested
on our laurels. Over 30,000 racing
victories could not have been achieved
by us simply being good at what we do –
but by us continuing to improve. We’ve
increased our performance. We’ve
enhanced our efficiency. We’ve reduced
our fuel consumption. The same principle
applies to the Panamera, because we
create sports cars for everyday use. The result is the new Panamera model
range. You could say we’ve pushed the
contradictions to the limit with even
sportier dynamics and greater ef ficiency,
with even more comfort and a decidedly
sharper design. For extraordinary driving
pleasure on ordinary outings, on every
inch of road.

When we st yle a sports car, we could
focus on the here and now and follow the
latest fashion. That would be fine until
the next season arrives. But, how exactly
do you create something that not only
appeals today but also captivates
tomorrow? We believe it ’s achieved by
focusing on principles, by preserving
the tried and tested and using this as
the plat form for new ideas.

With the new Panamera models, the
proportions and use of form are t ypical
of any Porsche. The wings are higher
than the bonnet and they add muscle
at the rear. The roof line tapers down to
the rear. Another typical Porsche characteristic

is the evolution of the design. It ’s more
p re c i s e . S h a r p e r. E d g i e r.

Visible examples include, for example,
the rest yled and once again enlarged air
intakes in the front end. These help to
provide optimum cooling of the engine
and brakes. The fact that they also look
great is a welcome bonus.

The rear end has been rest yled; its lines
sharpened. The rear screen is larger
and flat ter. It is also wider, just like the
automatically deploying spoiler. The LED
taillights have become narrower and
more crisply defined. Seen from the rear, the new Panamera models look more
modern and boast tauter proportions.


Another illuminating example of the
further development of the Panamera
design is the Bi-Xenon headlights fit ted
as standard. The day time running lights
have been integrated into the main
headlight units in the form of four LED
spotlights. Like the taillights, they now
appear slimmer. Together with the more
distinctive powerdome of the bonnet,
the new sideskirts and exterior mirrors,
they lend the Panamera models a more
sporty look. Traditional values and a forward-looking
design make a successful combination.
All that ’s missing is your own inter
pre-
tation of the Panamera. With 15 exterior
colours, an extensive range of leather
packages, wheels measuring up to
20 inches and many more options, you
can lend your model an unmistakeable
character.
One of our most important design tools:
timelessness.

Interior
The new Panamera models feature an
exquisite, clearly structured interior
offering a high degree of comfort.
Designed for driving pleasure and
long journeys, for four occupants and
their luggage. The concept may be
unorthodox for a saloon, but it’s typical
of a Panamera.

Of course, the same applies to the four
individual seats. Just as it does to the
sport y and highly ergonomic cockpit.
Five circular instruments with a high-
resolution colour display and the logical
grouping of controls enable fast and
direct access.
In the rear, even taller passengers will
find plent y of head- and legroom. The
rear seats fold down separately to

create space for larger items of luggage,
including your sports equipment.

You choose the colours and materials
yourself. An extensive selection of interior
colours, interior packages with various
woods, aluminium or carbon, and many
other personalisation options means that
your decision certainly won’t be an easy
one. But the result will be all the more
individual. For more information, please
refer to page 110 onwards.
To get on in life,
sometimes all you need to do is sit back and relax.

Get ting where you want to be sooner –
whether it ’s your office or your holiday
destination. More than likely, though, it’s
the future.

Typically for Porsche, it begins in the
garage. Or, to be more specific, at the
vehicle charge port of the new Panamera S
E-Hybrid – a parallel plug-in hybrid,
and also the next major step in hybrid
technology. The future begins now. With
e-mobility. A total concept that combines
a progressive drive system, a variet y of
charging capabilities, intelligent mobile
online services and efficient performance.
The new lithium-ion-based high-voltage
bat tery of the Panamera S E-Hybrid has
more energy content than nickel metal
hydride bat teries and can be charged
from an external source. On electric
power alone, the
Panamera S E-Hybrid
has a range of up to 36 km in the NEDC
and reaches a maximum speed of
135 km/ h. That ’s with an average fuel
consumption of merely 3.1 l/100 km.
However, reducing fuel consumption is
just one of the goals that we are aiming
to achieve with advanced hybrid
technology. Ever yday practicalit y and
sport y driving pleasure are also top of our list. For more information on the

new Panamera S E-Hybrid, please refer
to pages 30 –37.

There are innovations under the bonnet
of the other members of the Panamera
family, too. Like a brand new generation
of engine in the Panamera S and
Panamera 4S. Thanks to some intelligent
downsizing, the 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6
engine produces more power output than
the naturally aspirated engine of the
previous generation – and delivers a
lower rate of fuel consumption at the
same time.
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK, p.
58) is
now fit ted as standard in all models with
a petrol engine. The power of the
Panamera S E-Hybrid is transmit ted to
the road by the 8-speed Tiptronic S.
Prepped and ready for the future of
the automobile and the digital age –
Porsche Car Connect (p. 100). Porsche
Car Connect is a smartphone app that
enables you to access various data
relating to your car and control certain
functions remotely. In conjunction with
the comprehensive online services
option, you can see all the important
information about your Panamera
whenever you wish – and not only when
you’re behind the wheel.
The new, optional LED main headlights
including Porsche Dynamic Light System
Plus (PDLS Plus, p. 74) help to ensure
even bet ter visibilit y. And with Lane
Change Assist (p. 105), the lane departure
warning (p. 105), speed limit
display
(p. 105), adaptive cruise control including
Porsche Active Safe (PAS, p. 102), and
Surround View (p. 102), a wealth of new
assistance systems is available to you.
Systems to lower your adrenaline level –
on the odd occasion.
Saving fuel needn’t mean
cutting back on the adrenaline.

What is it that actually mat ters when
creating a sports car? The effect on the
eye or the effect on physics? A st ylish
appearance or sense and purpose?
We believe that, when form follows
function, one emerges from the other.
And st yle suddenly makes sense.
Beauty and sense. Models.
