2013 PORSCHE PANAMERA wheel

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.

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.

Saloon or sports car? Power or efficiency?
Quite simply, there’s no decision to make.
That ’s because the new Panamera and the
new Panamera 4 blend all these apparent
contradictions into one sporty overall
concept.

Standard features of the new Panamera
and the new Panamera 4 include Bi-Xenon
headlights, 18-inch Panamera wheels, the
t wo single-tube tailpipes of the exhaust
system and the automatic rear hatch.

Both models are also equipped as stan -
dard with the Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK). In the new Panamera, it transfers engine power to the rear axle; in the new
Panamera 4, to all four wheels via the
active all-wheel drive of Porsche Traction
Management (PTM, p.
61).

The steel spring suspension is fit ted as
standard and offers a high level of com -
fort coupled with a sport y setup. Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM,
p. 65), an electronic damping control
system and the adaptive air suspension
are available as an option.

The interior boasts high- qualit y materials,
and the partial leather package is available
in a choice of three colours. The rim of the multi
function steering wheel (p. 62)
fit ted as standard and the PDK gear
selector are finished in smooth-finish
leather, the interior trims in black (high-
gloss).

Other standard features of the new
Panamera and the new Panamera 4 apart
from the multifunction steering wheel
(p. 62) are cruise control (p. 102),
automatic climate control and the CDR
audio system (p. 92). Options include
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM, p. 92) and the BOSE
® Surround
Sound System (p. 98) or Burmester
®
High-End Surround Sound System (p. 98).

A comprehensive range of personalisation
options is available to you. These include,
for example, a selection of two-tone
finishes and other colour and material
combinations (more on these from
page 110 onwards).
Who says that the head and heart cannot work together?

Everyday driving requires practical cars
with space and comfort. But doesn’t your
heart crave a sports car? We don’t see a
contradiction.

Both models are driven by a newly
developed 3.0 -litre V6 engine with
twin-turbochargers. Engine power is
transmitted by Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK, p. 58). In the new Panamera 4S,
it is distributed to all four wheels via
the all-wheel drive of Porsche Traction
Management (PTM, p. 61). Bi-Xenon headlights, including daytime
running lights with four integral LED
spotlights, are fit ted as standard on all
models. The same applies to
Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM,
p. 65) – an electronic damping control
system – and the Tyre Pressure Monitoring
( T PM, p. 6 4).

From the outside, the new Panamera S
models are recognisable by the silver-
coloured brake calipers, 18-inch
Panamera S wheels and the round t win
tailpipes of the exhaust system.
Of course, you could find other ways to get to the office.
But why should you?

The new Panamera S and the new Panamera 4S.
In the interior, the rev counter dial face in
Silver Grey is another hallmark. Automatic
climate control and heated front seats are
fit ted as standard to provide excellent
comfort. The partial leather interior is also
standard. The seat squab surfaces, inner
backrest sur faces and the inner side
bolsters are all upholstered in embossed
leather.

Many roads lead to your destination. But
which ones take you further? To a new
future? With a sports car for the road and
for the 21st century?

E-mobilit y is the next big step. With the
Panamera S E-Hybrid we are bringing to
the road a total concept that net works
the car and its driver in an intelligent way.
Its performance puts most sports cars to
shame. Yet its fuel consumption is far
below the rate you would usually expect
of a sports car.

Still one of the most fascinating destinations of any journey:
new territory.

The new Panamera S E-Hybrid.
In the new Panamera S E-Hybrid,
innovative bat tery technology and a
powerful electric motor herald a lit tle
revolution in alternative drives: driving
pleasure. We round off our concept with
practical solutions, which we’ve realised
with e-mobility services* – smartphone
access and control functionalities – and
with practical charging systems. Now you
can top up your car’s energy levels by
plugging it into an electrical socket using
the Porsche Universal Charger (AC)
provided as standard. For an all-electric
range of up to 36 km (in NEDC). You will find more information about the drive
concept, charging options and e-mobility
services in our separate e-mobility
brochure. Drive forces are transmit ted as
standard by the 8-speed Tiptronic S
(p. 58). Also fit ted as standard are the
adaptive air sus
pen sion with Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM,
p. 65) and the speed-sensitive Power
steering Plus (p. 62).

The Panamera S E-Hybrid maintains its
visual identit y with the customary
‘e-hybrid’ logo on the front doors, the ‘
Panamera S’ logo on the rear hatch with
an Acid Green surround, the same as the
needles of the newly developed power
meter in the centre of the instrument
cluster. The brake calipers are also
finished in Acid Green as standard. The
features it shares with the S model –
the exterior design and the exquisite
styling of the interior – are similarly
characteristic. It almost goes without
saying that a comprehensive range of
personalisation options is available.
These are listed from page 110 onwards.
