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.

Many roads lead to your destination. But
which ones take you further? To a new
future? With a sports car for the road and
for the 21st century?
E-mobilit y is the next big step. With the
Panamera S E-Hybrid we are bringing to
the road a total concept that net works
the car and its driver in an intelligent way.
Its performance puts most sports cars to
shame. Yet its fuel consumption is far
below the rate you would usually expect
of a sports car.
Still one of the most fascinating destinations of any journey:
new territory.
The new Panamera S E-Hybrid.
In the new Panamera S E-Hybrid,
innovative bat tery technology and a
powerful electric motor herald a lit tle
revolution in alternative drives: driving
pleasure. We round off our concept with
practical solutions, which we’ve realised
with e-mobility services* – smartphone
access and control functionalities – and
with practical charging systems. Now you
can top up your car’s energy levels by
plugging it into an electrical socket using
the Porsche Universal Charger (AC)
provided as standard. For an all-electric
range of up to 36 km (in NEDC). You will find more information about the drive
concept, charging options and e-mobility
services in our separate e-mobility
brochure. Drive forces are transmit ted as
standard by the 8-speed Tiptronic S
(p. 58). Also fit ted as standard are the
adaptive air sus
pen sion with Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM,
p. 65) and the speed-sensitive Power
steering Plus (p. 62).
The Panamera S E-Hybrid maintains its
visual identit y with the customary
‘e-hybrid’ logo on the front doors, the ‘
Panamera S’ logo on the rear hatch with
an Acid Green surround, the same as the
needles of the newly developed power
meter in the centre of the instrument
cluster. The brake calipers are also
finished in Acid Green as standard. The
features it shares with the S model –
the exterior design and the exquisite
styling of the interior – are similarly
characteristic. It almost goes without
saying that a comprehensive range of
personalisation options is available.
These are listed from page 110 onwards.

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.

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.

Burmester® High-End Surround
Sound System.
The sound developed by our research
centre in Weissach is amplified by a
sound from Berlin. We’re referring to
Burmester
®, one of the most respected
manufacturers of high-end audio equip -
ment worldwide, and the Burmester
®
High-End Surround Sound System, which
is available as an option in combination
with the CDR audio system or PCM.
The technologies behind the system
are from the finest of the premium
home audio systems that Burmester
®
has to offer, and it owes its eminence
to countless details, and one goal:
perfection in sound. The system has 16 amplifier channels
with a total output of more than
1,000
watts, 16 loudspeakers including
an active subwoofer with 300 -wat t class D
amplifier, a total diaphragm surface
area of more than 2,400 cm², and a
frequency response of 30 Hz to 20 kHz.
Crossover technology has been carried
over more or less unmodified from the

filters have been optimally defined for
their installa tion location and finely tuned
af ter extensive in - car audio testing.
Ribbon t weeters have been used for
unmistak ably fine, clear and undistorted
high-frequency sound reproduction with
excellent level stability. All loudspeaker housings are perfectly matched and
deliver superior bass foundation,
definition and impulse accuracy. As yet
unequalled, the result is a natural and
richly textured spatial sound, even at top
volume. The elegantly pure design with
galvanised surrounds and Burmester
®
logos on selected loudspeakers make it
clear that the appeal of the Burmester
®
High-End Surround Sound System is as
much about the visual as it is the audio.
Sound and style without compromise.
Optional for all Panamera models except
the Panamera S E-Hybrid.
You like a pounding drum beat.
