Engines.
Increasing power output, reducing fuel
consumption. Brief fulfilled. With engines
characterised by sporty performance
and yet comparatively low energy
consumption and CO
2 emissions.
This has been achieved thanks to
technologies such as direct fuel injection
(DFI), VarioCam Plus or variable camshaft
control, turbocharging, recuperation,
the auto start/stop function, the coasting
function or the use of plug-in hybrid
technology. The engines are structurally
rigid and, thanks to aluminium cylinder
heads and magnesium valve covers (except the Panamera S E-Hybrid), they
are comparatively light weight. This helps
to ensure a decent weight-to -power
ratio and balanced weight distribution.
Let’s take the new engine generation of
the Panamera S and Panamera 4S as
an example. It may have been stripped
of t wo cylinders and its displacement
reduced by 1.8 litres compared with
that of its predecessor, but it has been
given a twin-turbocharger arrangement.
This is where the figures begin an
upward trend. Increased power output,
greater dynamics and enhanced
e f f ici e n cy.
Direct fuel injection (DFI).
With millisecond precision, DFI injects
fuel at up to 120 bar directly into the
combustion chamber by means of
electromagnetically actuated injection
valves. DFI also improves the internal
cooling of the combustion chamber by
having the mixture prepared directly in
the cylinder. The higher compression ratio
helps to deliver more output at the same
time as enhanced engine efficiency.

Your first impression of the Panamera
interior is the generous amount of comfort.
The second impression is one of sport y
lightness and excellent ergonomics. The
five round instruments have an integrated
4.8-inch colour screen. The centre console
ascends towards the front, shortening the
reach bet ween the steering wheel and the
gear selector. All the important controls
are arranged into logical groups to give
you quick access to important functions
without the need to browse through long
sub-menus.Smooth-finish leather, natural leather,
two-tone colour combinations, elegant
woods, aluminium and carbon – thanks
to these and many more personalisation
options, you can make your Panamera
even more sport y or even more
comfortable. Or both. In the Panamera
Turbo and Panamera GTS, the rooflining
is upholstered in Alcantara as standard
(optional for all other models). For
more detailed information about colours
and personalisation, please refer to
page 110 onwards.
There’s still nothing quite like being surrounded by your own four walls.
Even when you’re on the move.
Interior.
The Panamera models offer a variet y of
storage options, for example in the doors
and centre console. There is a cupholder
in the front centre armrest and t wo
cupholders in the rear compartment. On
request at no extra charge, it is possible
to have a further t wo fold- out cupholders
fitted above the glove compartment.
For extra storage space, a large centre
console is available as an option for
the rear compartment. It comes with a
230 -volt socket, an additional 12-volt
socket and preparation for a cooling compartment. The interior lighting
concept with switch- off delay is practical
and appealing. This includes illuminated
door handles and storage compartments
in the front, orientation lights, front
foot well lights and also reading lights
and interior lights – one of each for all
four seats.

Electronic logbook.
An electronic logbook is available for
PCM as an option. It automatically logs
the mileage, route distance, date, time,
starting location and destination for ever y
journey. The soft ware fulfils all statutory
requirements for automatic logbooks as
specified by the German revenue
authorities.
Telephone module.
The quadband GSM telephone module is
available as an option for PCM and offers
convenience and excellent reception.
With a SIM card inserted directly into
PCM’s integral SIM card reader, calls
can be made using either the hands-free
facility or the cordless handset.
Alternatively, the Bluetooth
® capability
of a mobile phone can be used to make
calls through the SIM Access Profile
(SAP). Once automatic pairing is complete,
the mobile phone’s aerial is switched
off to conserve bat tery charge and the
phone operates via the car aerial.
Depending on the type of mobile phone,
this gives access not only to the numbers
on the SIM card, but also to the phone’s
internal memory. Also depending on
the phone, it can be controlled using
PCM, the multifunction steering wheel
or the voice control system without it
ever leaving your pocket. In addition,
the telephone module enables you to
establish a Bluetooth
® link with those
mobile phones that only support the
Handsfree Profile (HFP). In this case, the
GSM connection is always established
through the aerial of the mobile phone. PCM acts as a hands-free system and you
can leave the mobile phone tucked away.
Please refer to the note on page 136.
To make a private call, despite having
other passengers in the vehicle, the
telephone module includes a cordless
Bluetooth
® handset, with display and
keyboard located in the centre console.
However, the handset cannot be used
for Bluetooth
® links established using
the Handsfree Profile (HFP).
Mobile phone preparation.
An optional mobile phone preparation is
available to enable a Bluetooth
®
connection for those mobile phones that
only support the Handsfree Profile (HFP).
This function also enables you to leave
your mobile phone tucked away. The CDR
audio system and PCM can be used to
control only the basic functions of the
mobile phone and the GSM connection is
established through the mobile phone’s
aerial. Please refer to the note on
p age 13 6.
Online services.
Using the free-to - download Aha Radio
app, you can use your smartphone to
stream Internet radio, news feeds,
podcasts and audiobooks directly to the
PCM. Local information, such as hotel
and restaurant listings, can be read aloud
automatically thanks to text-to-speech
functionality. Point of Interest searches
with subsequent direct selection as your
navigation destination are also supported.
The online content is received by your
smartphone and controlled by means of
