2013 PORSCHE PANAMERA four wheel drive

1819
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).
Who says that the head and heart cannot work together?

Everyday driving requires practical cars
with space and comfort. But doesn’t your
heart crave a sports car? We don’t see a
contradiction.

Both models are driven by a newly
developed 3.0 -litre V6 engine with
twin-turbochargers. Engine power is
transmitted by Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK, p. 58). In the new Panamera 4S,
it is distributed to all four wheels via
the all-wheel drive of Porsche Traction
Management (PTM, p. 61). Bi-Xenon headlights, including daytime
running lights with four integral LED
spotlights, are fit ted as standard on all
models. The same applies to
Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM,
p. 65) – an electronic damping control
system – and the Tyre Pressure Monitoring
( T PM, p. 6 4).

From the outside, the new Panamera S
models are recognisable by the silver-
coloured brake calipers, 18-inch
Panamera S wheels and the round t win
tailpipes of the exhaust system.
Of course, you could find other ways to get to the office.
But why should you?

The new Panamera S and the new Panamera 4S.
In the interior, the rev counter dial face in
Silver Grey is another hallmark. Automatic
climate control and heated front seats are
fit ted as standard to provide excellent
comfort. The partial leather interior is also
standard. The seat squab surfaces, inner
backrest sur faces and the inner side
bolsters are all upholstered in embossed
leather.

The new Panamera models reconcile
contradictions. They are vitalised by the
conflict bet ween comfort and dynamics
and bet ween sport y performance and
ef ficiency. Can three let ters intensif y
this conflict? The answer is seen on
race tracks and on roads. That ’s where
Porsche has writ ten the abbreviation
GTS into history – and is how the
new Panamera GTS has become the
thoroughbred athlete of the family.


The figures sum it up: 324 kW (440 hp)
power output and a maximum torque of
520 Nm. The 4.8-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine with ram air induction is
extremely responsive. 7-speed Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK) and the active

all-wheel drive of Porsche Traction
Management (PTM) transmit the engine
power of the new Panamera GTS adeptly
to the tarmac. The sports exhaust
system and the adaptive air suspension
with ‘normal level’ lowered by 10 mm
are fit ted as standard. The brake system,
wheels, front end and four-way rear
spoiler have been carried over from
the Panamera Turbo. The sideskirts are
st yled in mat t black. This is driving pleasure the GTS way –
accompanied by a thunderous
soundtrack.


The sport y characteristics of the new
Panamera GTS continue seamlessly into
the interior in the form of leather and
Alcantara and the ‘GTS’ logo in the rev
counter, on the headrests and on the
door sill guards in brushed aluminium.
Alcantara is the material used for the
seat centres of the adaptive Sports
seats, the armrests of the centre console
and the rooflining. The SportDesign steering wheel is fit ted as standard.

On request, it is possible to have the
rim finished in black Alcantara.

Two optional trim packages are available
in conjunction with the black Alcantara.
They further emphasise the sport y
at titude of the interior. The seat belts
and the stitching on the dashboard, door
waist rails, seats, and the armrests on
the centre console and doors are in
Carmine Red or GT Silver. The headrests
of all four seats are embroidered with
the ‘GTS’ logo in the same colour.
How about some extra zing?

Supreme performance can take the
breath away. Or it can force us to
keep calm and breathe deeply. It ’s like
sit ting behind the wheel of the new
Panamera Turbo.

Here, comfort and sportiness intertwine
without compromise. Its 4.8-litre t win-
turbo V8 engine delivers 382 kW (520 hp)
and offers a maximum torque of 700 Nm
bet ween 2,250 and 4,500 rpm. The
new 19-inch Panamera Turbo II wheels
afford a glimpse of the brake system
and its red brake calipers.
520 hp unleashes a mighty force.
The kind to put a smile on your face.

The new Panamera Turbo.
The twin dual-tube tailpipes are in the
unmistakable Turbo design. Just like
the chrome- coloured air outlets behind
the front wheels.
The front end features large air intakes to
increase the volume of cooling air, while
the four-way rear spoiler helps to reduce
lift at the rear axle.

Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK, p. 58) is
fit ted as standard, as is Porsche Traction
Management (PTM, p. 61) with active
all-wheel drive and an electronic and map - controlled multi - plate clutch.
Displays in the instrument cluster and
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM, p. 92) inform you of the
longitudinal and lateral acceleration
forces currently acting on the vehicle.
Integrated as standard, the adaptive air
suspension including Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM, p.
65)
enhances sport y per formance –
or comfort. At the push of a but ton.

In the interior, the Turbo presents its own
interpretation of the sport y st yle that characterises any Porsche. It achieves
this with electric eight-way power seats
(front) with memory package (p. 88),

and seat heating (p. 91) for the driver,
front passenger and also in the rear; and
with an interior in smooth-finish leather
and the walnut interior package. Porsche
Communication Management (PCM)
including navigation module and BOSE
®
Surround Sound System (p. 98) are fit ted
as standard. The High-End Surround
Sound System from Burmester
® (p. 98)

Porsche Traction Management (PTM).
Porsche Traction Management (PTM)
comprises an active all-wheel drive with
electronic and map - controlled multi - plate
clutch, with automatic brake differential
(ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR).

The electronically controlled multi - plate
clutch regulates the distribution of drive
force bet ween the permanently driven
rear axle and the front axle. Through
continuous monitoring of the driving
conditions, the electronics are able to respond to a variet y of situations.
Sensors check, among other variables,
the rotation speeds of all four wheels,
longitudinal and lateral acceleration of
the vehicle, and the steering angle. If, for
example, the rear wheels spin under
acceleration, a greater proportion of
drive force is redirected to the front by a
more powerful engagement of the multi-
plate clutch. In addition, ASR reduces
wheel slip. In corners, the drive force
sent to the front wheels is regulated for
optimum lateral stability.
Exerting your authority. Letting go. Providing balance.

Chassis.
In this way, PTM, in conjunction with
the upgraded version of Porsche Stabilit y
Management (PSM, p. 67) ensures
optimum force delivery in every driving
situation and excellent acceleration
power: whether on long straights, through
tight corners, or on road surfaces with
varying grip.
Standard in the Panamera 4,
Panamera 4S, Panamera GTS and
Panamera Turbo.

Front seats.
The front seats with integrated headrests
offer a high degree of comfort and hold
your body firm during cornering, without
restricting your freedom of movement.
Seat adjustment is fully electric as
standard with controls on both the driver
and front passenger sides for seat
height, squab and backrest angle, and
fore/aft position. A driver memory
package, available as an option, enables
the driver’s seat and exterior mirror
positions to be saved and restored
automatically.

Optional 14-way power seats with
memory package (standard in the
Panamera Turbo) for driver and front passenger offer even more functionalit y.
In addition to featuring an electric
steering column adjustment facilit y, the
package includes electric four-way
lumbar support, electric seat squab
length adjustment and personal memory
settings for seat, steering wheel, PCM
and mirror positions.


The courtesy lights (LEDs in the exterior
mirrors) are a component of the driver
memory package and 14-way power
seats with memory package. ISOFIX
child seat mounting points are available
as an option for the front passenger
seat in conjunction with the deactivation
function for the passenger airbag.
Adaptive Sports seats.
The optional adaptive Sports seats have
firmer – yet still comfortable – upholster y
and provide even bet ter lateral support
thanks to the raised side bolsters on the
seat squab and backrest.

Featuring 18 -way electric adjustment,
the seats can be optimally adapted to
meet your needs in terms of seat height,
squab and backrest angle, squab length,
fore/aft adjustment and four-way lumbar
support. The steering column is also
electrically adjustable. In addition,
the side bolsters on the seat squab and
backrest are independently adjustable
for added comfort over long distances or precision lateral support on winding
roads. Also included is the personal
memory for the driver and front
passenger seats (including lumbar
support), the steering wheel and the
driver’s exterior mirror.

Park Assis t.
Park Assist is standard in all Panamera
models. With four sensors in the rear
end, the system audibly alerts the driver
to the presence of obstacles detected
behind the vehicle. An intermit tent
warning tone increases in rapidity as the
obstacle is approached. An enhanced
version of Park Assist, which includes
six sensors in the front end, is fit ted
as standard in the Panamera Turbo
and available as an option in the other
models. The audible alert is supplemented
by a visual warning in the central display

screen which provides a graphical
representation of the vehicle’s proximit y
to obstacles.
Reversing camera.
The optional reversing camera facilitates
precise reverse parking and manoeuvring
and also assists in hitching a trailer. Help
is provided in the form of the camera
image and the dynamic, superimposed
guidelines on the PCM screen, which
illustrate the predicted course of the
vehicle given the current position of the
steering wheel.
Surround View.
The optionally available Surround View
system supplements the reversing
camera with three more high-resolution
cameras – one in the front apron and one
in each lower trim of the exterior mirrors.
Based on the information supplied by
all four cameras, the system generates a virtual bird’s eye view of the car and
displays it on the PCM screen. This
provides additional assistance to the
driver when parking and manoeuvring

because even low-level obstacles to
the front and side of the vehicle can be
detected. It is also possible to switch
bet ween various camera views to
improve visibility, for example at narrow
exits.
Cruise control.
Cruise control is fit ted as standard for
added driver comfort on long stretches
of road. Cruise control operates in the
30 to 240 km/ h speed range and is
selected using a but ton on the steering
column control stalk.
Adaptive cruise control including
Porsche Active Safe (PAS).
Available as an option, this enhanced
version of cruise control regulates the
speed of your vehicle in line with the
speed of the vehicle in front. A radar
sensor inside in the front end scans the
road ahead up to a distance of 200 m.
Imagine you’ve selected a cruising speed
but have begun to gain on the vehicle in
front because it is driving more slowly –
the system reduces the speed of your
vehicle by restricting throt tle or gently
applying the brakes until your chosen
distance from the vehicle in front is
maintained. For safety reasons, the driver
should always be prepared to intervene
manually if heavier braking is required.
If the vehicle ahead slows further,
adaptive cruise control will decelerate
your Panamera accordingly – even down
to a halt. As soon as the road ahead
clears, your vehicle will accelerate back
up to the cruising speed originally set.
Selectable cruising speeds range from
30 to 210 km/ h. To pull away after an
automatic stop, simply press the control
lever or depress the accelerator pedal.

If desired, the driver can enable the
integrated stop -and -go function, which
automates stopping and pulling away in
congested traf fic. Safet y is further improved by Porsche
Active Safe (PAS). If you are approaching
the vehicle in front too quickly, you will

be prompted to take the necessary
action by an audible and visual warning
as well as a jolt of the brakes. The
system may also intervene with targeted
braking applications and act to boost
brake pressure as the situation demands,
even to the point of the maximum braking
force that the system is able to provide.
