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).

Panamera S E-Hybrid

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.

Steering and Power steering Plus.
The steering system with its variable
steering ratio is precise and direct.
Around the straight ahead position, such
as when on the motorway, the ratio is less
direct with no loss of agilit y or feedback
from the road. When the steering wheel is
turned further, the steering ratio becomes
more direct, allowing easier cornering and
parking. For even greater driving comfort,
speed-sensitive Power steering Plus is
available as an option. At high speeds,
the firmer steering ratio enables precision
steering manoeuvres; at low speeds,
the ratio automatically adjusts to facilitate
parking. Power steering Plus is standard in the
Panamera S E-Hybrid and optional for
all other Panamera models.
Steering wheels.
The multifunction steering wheel is
standard in all models and available on
request for the Panamera GTS at no
extra cost. It features t wo ergonomic
gearshift switches for manual gear
selection and of fers convenient control
of audio, telephone and navigation
functions as well as the on-board
computer. In conjunction with PDK and
the Sport Chrono Package (p. 68), you
will find an additional display above the airbag module for the SPORT and
SPORT PLUS modes and the Launch
Control function.
The SportDesign steering wheel with
gearshift paddles is fit ted as standard
in the Panamera GTS and available
as an option for all other models. It is
distinguished by its striking dual-arm
design. Upon request, it is possible to
have the SportDesign steering wheel
finished in black Alcantara.
We haven’t reinvented the wheel.

an extensive selection of radio broadcasts.
Other features include a CD/ DVD drive
supporting audio playback of MP3 files
and audio/video DVDs, and a USB port
for various iPod
® and iPhone® models,
MP3 players and USB memory sticks
containing MP3 tracks. Album cover art
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.
Will you take the direct route, the fast route or the scenic route?
