2013 PORSCHE PANAMERA bonnet

1011
When we st yle a sports car, we could
focus on the here and now and follow the
latest fashion. That would be fine until
the next season arrives. But, how exactly
do you create something that not only
appeals today but also captivates
tomorrow? We believe it ’s achieved by
focusing on principles, by preserving
the tried and tested and using this as
the plat form for new ideas.

With the new Panamera models, the
proportions and use of form are t ypical
of any Porsche. The wings are higher
than the bonnet and they add muscle
at the rear. The roof line tapers down to
the rear. Another typical Porsche characteristic

is the evolution of the design. It ’s more
p re c i s e . S h a r p e r. E d g i e r.

Visible examples include, for example,
the rest yled and once again enlarged air
intakes in the front end. These help to
provide optimum cooling of the engine
and brakes. The fact that they also look
great is a welcome bonus.

The rear end has been rest yled; its lines
sharpened. The rear screen is larger
and flat ter. It is also wider, just like the
automatically deploying spoiler. The LED
taillights have become narrower and
more crisply defined. Seen from the rear, the new Panamera models look more
modern and boast tauter proportions.


Another illuminating example of the
further development of the Panamera
design is the Bi-Xenon headlights fit ted
as standard. The day time running lights
have been integrated into the main
headlight units in the form of four LED
spotlights. Like the taillights, they now
appear slimmer. Together with the more
distinctive powerdome of the bonnet,
the new sideskirts and exterior mirrors,
they lend the Panamera models a more
sporty look. Traditional values and a forward-looking
design make a successful combination.
All that ’s missing is your own inter
pre-
tation of the Panamera. With 15 exterior
colours, an extensive range of leather
packages, wheels measuring up to
20 inches and many more options, you
can lend your model an unmistakeable
character.
One of our most important design tools:
timelessness.

Get ting where you want to be sooner –
whether it ’s your office or your holiday
destination. More than likely, though, it’s
the future.

Typically for Porsche, it begins in the
garage. Or, to be more specific, at the
vehicle charge port of the new Panamera S
E-Hybrid – a parallel plug-in hybrid,
and also the next major step in hybrid
technology. The future begins now. With
e-mobility. A total concept that combines
a progressive drive system, a variet y of
charging capabilities, intelligent mobile
online services and efficient performance.
The new lithium-ion-based high-voltage
bat tery of the Panamera S E-Hybrid has
more energy content than nickel metal
hydride bat teries and can be charged
from an external source. On electric
power alone, the
Panamera S E-Hybrid
has a range of up to 36 km in the NEDC
and reaches a maximum speed of
135 km/ h. That ’s with an average fuel
consumption of merely 3.1 l/100 km.
However, reducing fuel consumption is
just one of the goals that we are aiming
to achieve with advanced hybrid
technology. Ever yday practicalit y and
sport y driving pleasure are also top of our list. For more information on the

new Panamera S E-Hybrid, please refer
to pages 30 –37.

There are innovations under the bonnet
of the other members of the Panamera
family, too. Like a brand new generation
of engine in the Panamera S and
Panamera 4S. Thanks to some intelligent
downsizing, the 3.0-litre twin-turbo V6
engine produces more power output than
the naturally aspirated engine of the
previous generation – and delivers a
lower rate of fuel consumption at the
same time.
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK, p.
58) is
now fit ted as standard in all models with
a petrol engine. The power of the
Panamera S E-Hybrid is transmit ted to
the road by the 8-speed Tiptronic S.
Prepped and ready for the future of
the automobile and the digital age –
Porsche Car Connect (p. 100). Porsche
Car Connect is a smartphone app that
enables you to access various data
relating to your car and control certain
functions remotely. In conjunction with
the comprehensive online services
option, you can see all the important
information about your Panamera
whenever you wish – and not only when
you’re behind the wheel.
The new, optional LED main headlights
including Porsche Dynamic Light System
Plus (PDLS Plus, p. 74) help to ensure
even bet ter visibilit y. And with Lane
Change Assist (p. 105), the lane departure
warning (p. 105), speed limit
display
(p. 105), adaptive cruise control including
Porsche Active Safe (PAS, p. 102), and
Surround View (p. 102), a wealth of new
assistance systems is available to you.
Systems to lower your adrenaline level –
on the odd occasion.
Saving fuel needn’t mean
cutting back on the adrenaline.

Engineered body design.
The lightweight bodyshell construction,
made from super- high -strength steels,
stainless steel, magnesium and aluminium,
ensures a low overall weight. It also
produces a highly resilient passenger
cell that offers high levels of protection
in the event of an impact. The system of
longitudinal and transverse
members at
the front absorbs deformation
energ y and
disperses the forces, thereby minimising
deformation of the interior. In addition,
passive safet y is further enhanced by the
front axle aluminium subframe, which is
designed to deform in a defined manner.
A rigid bulkhead cross member reduces
deformation of the foot well in the event of an impact and provides improved
protection for the feet and legs. In a
minor collision, a system of easily
replaceable impact absorbers prevents
costly damage to the underlying
bodyshell.


Active bonnet system.
The active bonnet system is designed
with enhanced pedestrian safet y in mind.
The moment the sensors in the front
apron detect a collision, this pyrotech -
nically assisted system raises the rear
portion of the bonnet, which can help
to reduce the risk of injury.
Airbags and seat belt system.
All Panamera models are fit ted as
standard with full-size driver and front
passenger airbags. Depending on the
severit y and t ype of accident, they are
inflated in t wo stages. In less serious
accidents, the airbags are only partially
inflated, thereby minimising discomfort
to the occupants.

As well as knee airbags for driver and
front passenger, the Porsche Side Impact
Protection System (POSIP) is also fit ted
as standard. This comprises side airbags in the front
seats, curtain airbags along the entire
roof frame and the side windows from
the A-pillar to the C-pillar, and side
impact protection elements in the doors.
Side airbags in the rear compartment

are available as an option. Also featured
as standard are an energy absorbing
steering column, three - point seat belts
on all seats, belt height adjustment and
seat belt force limiters in the front, and
seat belt pretensioners front and rear.
A rollover sensor automatically activates
the curtain airbags and seat belt
pretensioners if the vehicle threatens

to overturn.

Porsche Entry & Drive.
Standard in the Panamera Turbo and
optional for the other models: Porsche
Entry & Drive – recognisable by the
chrome surfaces on the door handles.
Who needs a car key? As soon as
you touch the door handle, Porsche
Entry & Drive checks the encrypted
access code on the key in your pocket.
Once the key is validated, the door
unlocks. The vehicle can then be started
or switched off using the electronic
ignition switch. To lock the vehicle, you
simply press a but ton on the outside of
the door handle. Porsche Entry & Drive
then locks the vehicle and activates the
engine immobiliser and steering column
lock.
Anti-theft protection.
All Panamera models are protected by
an immobiliser and an alarm system
including ultrasonic interior surveillance.
The system secures all four doors, the
bonnet, the rear hatch, the passenger
compartment, the ignition, the steering
column and any trailer that may be
at tached.
