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.

Drive concept.
The Panamera S E-Hybrid is a parallel
plug-in hybrid. This means that it can be
powered by the combustion engine alone,
by the electric machine alone or by both
units working together. In this way, it is
able to exploit the power generated by
both propulsion units. It ’s a concept
that ’s been proven since 2011. What ’s
new is that the high-voltage bat tery is
recharged in around 3.8 hours via direct
connection to an electricit y socket or,
whilst driving, through the process of
brake energy recovery known as
recuperation, or via the combustion
engine. Thanks to innovative lithium-ion
technology, its capacit y of 9.4 kWh
means that it also stores much more
energy. The battery is maintenance-free
and covered by a six-year warrant y.
The 3.0 -litre supercharged V6 engine
generates 245 kW (333 hp), the electric
machine 70 kW (95 hp). Combined, they
deliver 306 kW (416 hp) to the road at 5,500 rpm. With both drives working
together, the new Panamera S E-Hybrid
accelerates from 0 to 100 km/ h in just
5.5
seconds. Fuel consumption (NEDC)
is remarkably low at an average of
3.1 l/100 km, as is the CO
2 emissions
figure of 71 g / km.
The operating range of the hybrid drive
begins with emission-free and quiet
driving up to a maximum speed of around
135 km/ h and a range of approximately
36 km (in NEDC). The combustion engine
is fired automatically when necessary
as determined by the operating strategy
or actively in response to the driver
depressing the accelerator pedal beyond
a specially defined pressure point. The
kick-down point, however, enables the
maximum power output available from
both propulsion units to be purposefully
exploited as and when the driver chooses.
In e-boost mode, the combustion engine
provides assistance for the electric
drive – providing a sport y shunt into the
future. In coasting mode, the combustion
engine is decoupled to allow the car to
glide for some distance under its own
momentum – thereby further reducing
the fuel consumption.
In summary, the E-hybrid concept
promises one thing above all: sporty
performance with utmost efficiency.
The workings of the combustion engine,
electric machine and high -voltage bat ter y
are synchronised by the electronic engine
management. All processes run smoothly
and harmoniously, leaving you to
concentrate on what mat ters the most:
driving.

2 emissions, power consumption and efficiency classes, please refer to page 151.

Display concept.
The conventional analogue speedometer
in the instrument cluster – traditionally to
the left of the rev counter – is replaced
by a solution fully tailored to the new
Panamera S E-Hybrid. The power meter
displays the drive power of the system.
It tells you whether your Panamera S
E-Hybrid is being driven electrically or
in hybrid mode and informs you of the
recuperation power generated under
braking. The colour display in the
instrument cluster shows the energy
flow in the system as well as selected
driving statistics. In the optional Porsche Communication
Management (PCM, p. 92), you can view
at any time a detailed diagram of the
vehicle with energy flow and statistics
on the amount of driving without the
combustion engine.
E-mobility services.
E-mobilit y services* are part of the
optional Porsche Car Connect (p. 100).
They enable you to call up all the
important information about your
Panamera S E-Hybrid remotely via a
smartphone app, for example remaining
charge time, bat ter y charge status
or a visual depiction of electric range. You can also set a charge timer with
customisable charging times.
You can now even control the air
conditioning of your Panamera S E-Hybrid
from your smartphone as desired. In
this way, it is possible to heat or cool the
interior in advance of any journey – with
the vehicle stationary and the combus -
tion engine switched off. Thanks to
e-mobility services and your smartphone,
you can also locate your Panamera S
E-Hybrid at any time from any place. You will find detailed information about
e-mobility at www.porsche.com or in our
separate e-mobility brochure.

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.

is also supported. Connected USB
devices can be controlled via CDR Plus or the multifunction steering wheel. An
AUX interface enables you to connect
additional external audio sources,
in which case functions are controlled
directly from the external device.
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) with navigation module.
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM) is your control centre for audio,
navigation and communication functions.
It is powerful and multifunctional, yet
intuitive to use. The most important
component is the 7-inch high-resolution
touchscreen with graphical user
interface. Alternatively, you can operate
PCM using separate rotary pushbut ton
controls. The radio has an FM t win tuner, while the DVD audio drive plays CDs
and audio DVDs and is MP3- compatible.
A six- disc CD/ DVD autochanger
integrated in PCM is available as an
option. The optional universal audio
interface (USB) allows you to store
and play up to 5,000 MP3 files on the
40-GB internal hard drive.
In conjunction with PCM, a total output
of 235 wat ts is produced through
a combination of 11 loudspeakers.
In the Panamera Turbo, the BOSE®
Surround Sound System (p. 98) is fit ted
as standard and features 14 loud-
speakers delivering a total output of
585 wat ts. For an even greater sound
experience, PCM can be combined with the optional Burmester
® High - End
Surround Sound System to offer over
1,000 wat ts produced by 16 direct- drive
loudspeakers (p. 98, not for the
Panamera S E-Hybrid).
The T V tuner available as an option for
PCM receives free-to -air analogue and
digital television broadcasts.
A navigation module with high-speed hard
drive is included with PCM. For route
guidance, it is possible to select bet ween
a 2D display and a 3D perspective. In
some regions, even buildings can be
shown in 3D, as can the terrain, the
lat ter superimposed with a satellite map
image. Split-screen mode enables you
to view two functions at once, such
as the current navigation map and list
of symbols that represent your next
driving instructions. The navigation
module also features dynamic route
guidance, which recalculates the route in response to of ficial traf fic messages
(TMC) and information from traffic flow
sensors (TMC Pro).
One key function of PCM in the
Panamera S E-Hybrid is the graphical
display of the hybrid drive system
showing the flow of energy in the various
modes, such as all - electric mode,
e - boost, recuperation or coasting.
Another display – ‘Hybrid Zero Emission’
– shows you the amount of time, as
a proportion of the total driving time,
that you have spent driving without the
combustion engine.
Standard in the Panamera Turbo,
optional for the other Panamera models.
You can set your sights on any destination of your choice.
