2013 PORSCHE PANAMERA engine

4647
Drive concept.
The new Panamera Turbo is powered by a
4.8-litre t win-turbo V8 engine with direct
fuel injection (DFI, p. 53), VarioCam Plus
(p. 54) and charge-air cooling. It features
t wo turbochargers arranged in parallel –
one for each cylinder bank. Intake air is
compressed and then fed to the engine
by the respective charge-air cooler for
each cylinder strand.

Performance figures: 382 kW (520 hp)
at 6,000 rpm. The maximum torque of
700 Nm is achieved bet ween 2,250 and
4,500 rpm. Top speed is reached at
305 km/ h. The new Panamera Turbo
completes the sprint from 0 to 100 km/ h
in just 4.1 seconds.
With the Launch Control function of
the optional Sport Chrono Package
(p. 68), the clock stops even sooner at
3.9 seconds. An overboost function
temporarily increases the boost pressure
produced at full throt tle by up to 10 %.
Proof that supremacy is synonymous
with sheer fun.

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.

We can make things move in many ways.

VarioCam Plus.
VarioCam Plus is a two-in-one engine
concept for adjusting the intake and
exhaust camshafts and switching the
lift of the intake valves. The system
differentiates between driver inputs that
typify normal, everyday driving and those
inputs that demand maximum power.
Valve operation is then adapted
automatically to prevailing conditions.
This results in instant acceleration and
extremely smooth running as well as
extraordinary acceleration power with
comparatively low fuel consumption.
Standard in the Panamera models with
petrol engine (except the Panamera S
E-Hybrid).

Variable camshaft control.
In the V6 combustion engine of the
new Panamera S E-Hybrid, fully variable
camshaft control is used to adjust the
intake camshaft timing. The result is
high specific output and high torque –
even at low engine speeds.

Auto/start stop function.
The auto start /stop function still works
in the familiar way. As soon as you come
to a halt and keep your foot on the brake
pedal, the system will automatically
stop the engine. This fuel-saving system
restarts the engine the moment you
release the brakes.

What’s new, however, is that the engine
now switches off as you approach traffic
lights. All audio and communication
systems remain switched on and the
climate control continues to maintain
your selected temperature, despite the
engine being switched off. The engine
restarts automatically if the energy
needs of the auxiliary equipment can
no longer be met by the energy saved
in the bat tery. In all models (except
the Panamera S E-Hybrid), the auto
start /stop function can be activated and
deactivated using a separate but ton.
Coasting.
The coasting function available with
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) enables
you to save even more fuel where the
situation allows.* The engine is decoupled
from the transmission to prevent
deceleration caused by engine braking.
The Panamera S E-Hybrid goes one step
further and switches off the engine
completely. In this way, optimum use
is made of the vehicle’s momentum,
allowing it to coast for longer distances.
This achieves a noticeable reduction
in fuel consumption with no impact on
comfort or sporty performance.

Lightweight exhaust system.
The exhaust system of the Panamera
models is made from long-life stainless
steel. The primary and main catalytic
converters heat up rapidly and help

to deliver effective emissions control.
At high revs and under maximum
engine load, the exhaust system of
the Panamera Turbo opens flaps for
increased throughput and an even
more thunderous sound.
Sports exhaust system.
Available as an option for the Panamera S,
Panamera 4S and Panamera Turbo is a
sports exhaust system featuring unique -
design tailpipe trims. For an even more
authentic sports car sound – at the push
of a but ton.
The tailpipes of the Panamera GTS

sports exhaust system have a mat t
black painted finish as standard. At the
touch of a but ton or when SPORT or
SPORT PLUS mode is enabled, the
sports exhaust system provides that
characteristic motorsport sound –
another unmistakable expression of
the individualit y of the Panamera GTS.

Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
Offering both a manual gearshift and an
automatic mode, 7-speed PDK promises
to deliver sports performance with
efficiency and comfort as well as
rapid gear changes with no discernible
interruption in the flow of power.
PDK is essentially t wo gearboxes in one.
The double clutch provides an alternating,

friction-locked connection between these
t wo half gearboxes and the engine. Gears
1 to 6 have a sports ratio and top speed
is reached in 6th gear. The 7th gear
has a long ratio, which helps to keep the
engine revs low, even at high speeds.
Depending on the gearshift programme (SPORT button activated or deactivated),
the gear change is optimised for comfort
or sporty driving.


For the Panamera GTS, we’ve made PDK
even sportier. The gearshift programmes
(Normal, SPORT or SPORT PLUS)
configure the gear changes to be sport y
to extremely sport y. During an upshift,
for example, selected engine cylinders
are deactivated temporarily, which
enables the speed of the engine to be
synchronised with the speed of the
transmission more quickly. This results
in even faster shift times accompanied
by a characteristic motorsport engine
sound.
After all, you also control your muscles with your head.

Transmission.
8-speed Tiptronic S.
8-speed Tiptronic S in the Panamera S
E-Hybrid reduces fuel consumption
and improves comfort. How? With a
particularly wide gear ratio spread. The
relatively low engine speeds in the upper
gears reduce noise levels in the interior,
especially on the motorway. The 8-speed
Tiptronic S shifts automatically and
adapts to your driving st yle. Of course,
you can still change gear manually at
the gear selector itself or using the t wo
ergonomic gearshift switches on the
steering wheel.Multifunction steering wheel, Sport Chrono Package

SPORT button.
The SPORT but ton, which is fit ted as
standard, enables you to select a setup
that favours either comfort or sport y
performance. At the push of a but ton,
the electronic engine management
system switches the engine mapping to
offer a sharper response and engine
dynamics that are more direct.

With the gearbox in automatic mode,
upshifts take place at higher engine
speeds and downshifts are swifter. In
addition, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche
Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) also
switch to SPORT mode to deliver harder
damping and more direct steering and,
therefore, even more agile cornering.

Sport Chrono Package.
The Sport Chrono Package helps to
provide an even sportier setup. Included
in the package are a digital and analogue
stopwatch, the SPORT PLUS button,
the longitudinal and lateral acceleration
display and a performance display in
PCM for displaying lap times.
It used to be the timetable that decided the sports period.
Now it’s your turn.

Performance enhancement systems.
The SPORT PLUS but ton on the centre
console is used to activate SPORT PLUS
mode. The engine becomes even more
responsive. The rev- limiter is adjusted to
a harder set ting (except in the Panamera S
E- Hybrid). Vehicles with Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM) switch
to SPORT PLUS mode for harder damping
and more direct steering. Models with
adaptive air suspension drop to ‘low level’
and switch to a stiffer spring rate. In
SPORT PLUS mode, the trigger threshold
for PSM is raised for increased
longitudinal and lateral dynamics. The stopwatch mounted on the dashboard
displays recorded driving time or can be
used as a conventional clock. Porsche
Communication Management (PCM) has

a special performance display to view,
store and evaluate lap times or other
driving times.

When combined with PDK, the Sport
Chrono Package has t wo additional
functions: the shift times in SPORT PLUS
mode become even shorter, the gear
changes even sportier. The second
function is Launch Control, designed to produce optimum acceleration from a
standing start.


For the Panamera Turbo, increased power
output is a mat ter of principle. In this
model, the Sport Chrono Package takes
performance to another level with the
overboost function. Whenever you
accelerate at full throt tle in SPORT or
SPORT PLUS mode, boost pressure will
be temporarily increased by up to 10 %.
This significantly increases the maximum
torque, delivers a short-term complacent
700 to 770 Nm – and puts a smile on
the driver’s face. Standard in Panamera GTS, optional for
the other Panamera models and only in
conjunction with Porsche Communication
Management (PCM).

71Balance
At Porsche, intelligent engineering is
also key to providing balance, especially
behind the steering wheel. On long
straights or in tight corners, with lighting
systems, for example, that enable the
driver to breathe easy regardless of the
road ahead. With brake systems that
contribute to the driver’s inner calm and
assistance systems that of fer support
rather than take over, as you will discover
from page 100 onwards.
Calm and pulse. Balance.
