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.

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).

Sometimes even short distances mean major progress.
Brakes.
The Panamera models have a braking
system equipped with six-piston aluminium
monobloc fixed brake calipers at the
front and four-piston units at the rear. The
brake calipers on the Panamera and
Panamera 4 are finished in black; on the
Panamera S models, they are silver-
coloured; on the Panamera S E-Hybrid
they are Acid Green, and on the Panamera
GTS and Panamera Turbo they are red.
The brake discs are slot ted and internally
vented for enhanced braking performance
– even under extreme conditions – and
rapid heat dispersal. The brake discs on
the Panamera Turbo and Panamera GTS
have a diameter of 390 mm at the front and 350 mm at the rear, whilst on the
other Panamera models the discs are
360 mm in diameter at the front and
330 mm at the rear.
The electric parking brake, which you can
activate and deactivate manually, releases
automatically as you pull away. Thanks
to the hold function, you can pull away
without ever rolling back.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
On request, your Panamera can be fit ted
with a braking system that has proven
itself on the race track: the Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB). The
cross-drilled ceramic brake discs on the
Panamera Turbo and Panamera GTS have
a diameter of 410 mm at the front and
350 mm at the rear; the other models
feature discs with a diameter of 390 and
350 mm at the front and rear, respectively.
PCCB is characterised by its low thermal
expansion under heavy braking, which
helps to prevent deformation. Furthermore,
the ceramic brake discs are totally
resistant to corrosion and of fer bet ter
noise-damping properties.
The key advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the brake discs,
which are approximately 50 % lighter
than standard discs of similar design and
size. Although enhanced performance and fuel economy are very noticeable
benefits: above all, it represents a major
reduction in unsprung and rotating
masses. That means better handling,
bet ter road holding and increased
comfort, particularly on uneven roads.
Optional for the Panamera Turbo and
Panamera GTS in conjunction with 20-inch
wheels; for other Panamera models, only
compatible with 19-inch wheels or larger.

Environmental protection.
Electromobilit y is the topic of the day.
After all, we are all searching for answers
to one of the greatest challenges of our
time: how to conserve resources. How
can we reduce energy requirements and
CO
2 emissions? Our answer is e-mobilit y.
In other words, sustainable mobility.
Our solution is the Panamera S E-Hybrid.
Here, we substitute oil for regenerative
electricity and combine high perfor m-
ance with excellent everyday prac ticality.
As a result, the new Panamera S E-Hybrid
ranks first in its vehicle class in
terms of
fuel economy and CO
2 emissions.
With hybrid technology, we are exploring
new directions without losing sight of
familiar ground: Porsche has managed to
reduce fuel consumption across all
current model ranges by a double-digit
percentage compared with the respec
tive
previous model. This is made possible
by an efficient drive concept, lightweight
construction, optimised aerodynamics
and low rolling resistance.
Vehicles manufactured by Porsche prove
that even high-performance sports cars
can achieve comparatively moderate exhaust emission values in their respec tive
category. This high level of environ mental
responsibilit y is clearly demon
strated
by our approach to environmental
management at the Porsche Development
Centre in Weissach. Here, all techno lo-
gical developments are carried out with
environmental protection in mind.
Lightweight construction and recycling.
Intelligent lightweight construction has
been integral to the Porsche identit y since
the very beginning. For both economical
and ecological reasons. This forms the
basis for low fuel consumption values in
conjunction with outstanding perform ance.
It is economical thanks to the high pro -
portion of aluminium, plastics and super-
high-strength sheet steel used. This is
substantially more stable and lighter than
conventional steel. It is also ecological because all materials used are
meticulously selected. We use only
innovative and environmentally friendly
components. All lightweight materials
are easily recyclable and each material
is labelled to facilitate its separation for
recycling. The reduction in the number
of plastic variants helps to ensure more
ef ficient recycling. Recycled plastics
are used where they meet our exacting
technical requirements. As a result,
the Panamera models are around 95 %
recyclable.
There is only one place we like to leave a lasting mark:
in a person’s heart.
Porsche and the environment.
