2013 PORSCHE PANAMERA traction control

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.

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)
is available as an option.

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.

Typical powers of management.

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.

Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC) including Porsche Torque
Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus).
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
is an active anti - roll system that antici-
pates and reduces lateral body move -
ment during cornering manoeuvres. In
addition, it minimises the lateral insta -
bilit y of the vehicle on uneven ground.

PT V Plus – in combination with PDCC –
enhances driving dynamics as well as
stabilit y. As a function of steering angle
and steering speed, accelerator pedal
position, yaw rate and vehicle speed, it is able to improve steering response and
steering precision by specific braking of
the right or left rear wheel.


What do PDCC and PT V Plus mean for
you? Remarkable lateral stability and
easier handling, excellent traction, and
great agilit y at every speed with precise
steering and stable load transfer
characteristics. And even more fun in
the corners.
Optional for the Panamera models
(except Panamera S E-Hybrid).
The more stable the relationship,
the greater your individual freedom.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
PSM maintains stability even at the limits
of dynamic driving performance. Sensors
continuously monitor the direction, speed,
yaw velocit y and lateral acceleration

of the car. PSM improves traction under
acceleration on inconsistent road sur faces.
When SPORT PLUS mode is selected

on the Sport Chrono Package (p. 68),
the PSM intervention threshold is raised
to give sport y drivers greater freedom
to assert their own driving st yle.
Standard in the Panamera models.
