Drive concept.
The efficient 3.6-litre naturally aspirated
V6 engine with four overhead camshafts
benefits from a lightweight construction.
A balance shaft reduces vibrations and
ensures excellent smooth running. Direct
fuel injection (DFI, p. 53), VarioCam Plus
(p. 54) and integrated dry-sump
lubrication
are fit ted as standard. A
coasting function (p. 54) and auto start /
stop function (p. 54) are also provided.
The engine generates a power output

of 228 kW (310 hp) at 6,200 rpm
and a maximum torque of 400 Nm at
3,750 rpm. The result is a top speed
of 259 km/ h and acceleration from
0 to 100 km/ h in 6.3 seconds in the
new Panamera and a 257 km/ h top
speed and 6.1 seconds from 0 to
100 km/ h in the new Panamera 4.

Drive concept.
Yes, power is important. Just as important
as efficiency. That ’s why the new
Panamera S and the new Panamera 4S
now come equipped with a newly
developed 3.0 -litre t win-turbo V6 engine.
Thanks to some clever downsizing, the
result is more power output than that of
the naturally aspirated engine in the
predecessor model, yet with significantly
lower fuel consumption.


The lightweight construction of the new
engine also contributes to its high
efficiency. Technologies such as direct
fuel injection (DFI, p. 53), four overhead
camshafts and VarioCam Plus (p. 54) join
forces with t wo turbochargers to deliver
a high degree of efficiency and optimum
torque in every engine speed range. The result is 309 kW (420 hp) with
6,000 rpm, and 520 Nm bet ween
1,750 and 5,000 rpm. The Panamera S
completes the sprint from 0 to 100 km/ h
in 5.1
seconds and manages a top speed
of 287 km/ h. The Panamera 4S reaches
100 km/ h from a standing start in
4.8 seconds and achieves a maximum
speed of 286 km/ h. And that ’s with up
to 18 % less fuel consumption than that
of the respective predecessor model.

Drive concept.
The new Panamera GTS is driven by a
4.8-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine of
lightweight construction with integrated
dry-sump lubrication. As a naturally
aspirated unit, it inherently delivers a
remarkably direct response. The
maximum engine speed is 7,100 rpm.
The result is a compelling 324 kW
(440 hp) and 520 Nm.

Features specific to the new Panamera GTS
include intake camshafts with extended
valve lift and a new air induc tion system
with t wo additional air filter modules in
the front end. Above 3,500 rpm, the
flaps on the air filter modules are opened
to allow the engine to breathe more
easily. At high driving speeds, headwind
ram pressure is exploited for an extra
boost.
The modified engine management has also
been fully adapted to the Panamera GTS
with the focus on maximum performance.
For a more direct response characteristic
and even faster gear changing of the PDK
(p. 58). You’ll certainly feel it every time
you open the throt tle. The Sport Chrono
Package is integrated as standard. In
SPORT PLUS mode, the race from 0 to
100 km/ h lasts a mere 4.4 seconds. The
achievable top speed is 288 km/ h. The
figures reveal performance in pure form.

Engines.
Increasing power output, reducing fuel
consumption. Brief fulfilled. With engines
characterised by sporty performance
and yet comparatively low energy
consumption and CO
2 emissions.

This has been achieved thanks to
technologies such as direct fuel injection
(DFI), VarioCam Plus or variable camshaft
control, turbocharging, recuperation,
the auto start/stop function, the coasting
function or the use of plug-in hybrid
technology. The engines are structurally
rigid and, thanks to aluminium cylinder
heads and magnesium valve covers (except the Panamera S E-Hybrid), they
are comparatively light weight. This helps
to ensure a decent weight-to -power

ratio and balanced weight distribution.

Let’s take the new engine generation of
the Panamera S and Panamera 4S as
an example. It may have been stripped
of t wo cylinders and its displacement
reduced by 1.8 litres compared with
that of its predecessor, but it has been
given a twin-turbocharger arrangement.
This is where the figures begin an
upward trend. Increased power output,
greater dynamics and enhanced
e f f ici e n cy.
Direct fuel injection (DFI).
With millisecond precision, DFI injects
fuel at up to 120 bar directly into the
combustion chamber by means of
electromagnetically actuated injection
valves. DFI also improves the internal
cooling of the combustion chamber by
having the mixture prepared directly in
the cylinder. The higher compression ratio
helps to deliver more output at the same
time as enhanced engine efficiency.

Lightweight exhaust system.
The exhaust system of the Panamera
models is made from long-life stainless
steel. The primary and main catalytic
converters heat up rapidly and help

to deliver effective emissions control.
At high revs and under maximum
engine load, the exhaust system of
the Panamera Turbo opens flaps for
increased throughput and an even
more thunderous sound.
Sports exhaust system.
Available as an option for the Panamera S,
Panamera 4S and Panamera Turbo is a
sports exhaust system featuring unique -
design tailpipe trims. For an even more
authentic sports car sound – at the push
of a but ton.
The tailpipes of the Panamera GTS

sports exhaust system have a mat t
black painted finish as standard. At the
touch of a but ton or when SPORT or
SPORT PLUS mode is enabled, the
sports exhaust system provides that
characteristic motorsport sound –
another unmistakable expression of
the individualit y of the Panamera GTS.

Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
PASM is an electronic damping control
system and it actively and continuously
adjusts the damping force on each
wheel, based on road conditions and
driving st yle. This reduces body
movement and therefore increases
comfort in all four seats.

How does PASM work? By means of a
but ton on the centre console, you can
select one of the three modes: Comfort,
SPORT or SPORT PLUS. Sensors record
the body movements that accompany powerful acceleration, braking and

rapid cornering or uneven road surfaces.
The control unit evaluates the driving
conditions and modifies the damping
force on each of the wheels in
accordance with the selected mode. You
can feel the result: increased driving
stability, more comfort and improved
performance.
Optional for the Panamera and
Panamera 4, standard in all other models.
Do you love the road?
Keep your relationship intimate.
Adaptive air suspension.
Adaptive air suspension enhances both
driving dynamics and comfort at the
same time. It comprises a levelling
system, a manual lift function, ride-height
adjustment capability and the ability to
vary the spring rate.

The purpose of the levelling system is
to keep the vehicle level constant auto -
matically, regardless of load distribution.
For manoeuvring, the manual lift function
enables you to raise the vehicle body
by 20 mm to avoid the risk of grounding. When you select the SPORT PLUS
chassis programme, the ride height
drops to Low Level (–
25 mm, or – 15 mm
in the Panamera GTS). At the same time,
a harder spring rate is achieved through
a reduction in the amount of air stored in
the air suspension. In simple terms, it’s
a sports chassis at the push of a but ton.
Standard for the Panamera S E-Hybrid,
Panamera GTS and Panamera Turbo,
optional for the other models.
Wheels and Tyre Pressure Monitoring
(TPM).
The Panamera and Panamera 4 are
fit ted as standard with 18-inch Panamera
wheels, the Panamera S, 4S and
Panamera S E-Hybrid with 18-inch
Panamera S wheels. The wheels on all
models are light weight alloys featuring
a classic sport y design. Tyre sizes
245/50 ZR 18 and 275/45 ZR 18 are
fit ted to the front and rear, respectively.
The Panamera GTS and Panamera Turbo
are equipped with 19-inch Panamera
Turbo II wheels as standard. The t yre
sizes are 255/45 ZR 19 at the front, 285/40 ZR 19 at the rear. A range of
optional 19- and 20 -inch wheels is

also available (p. 128/129). In addition,
all-season tyres are optionally available
for all 19- and 20 -inch wheels.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM) sends
warnings to the on-board computer’s
display screen in the event of excessive
pressure loss.

TPM is standard in the Panamera models

Brakes.
The Panamera models have a braking
system equipped with six-piston aluminium
monobloc fixed brake calipers at the
front and four-piston units at the rear. The
brake calipers on the Panamera and
Panamera 4 are finished in black; on the
Panamera S models, they are silver-
coloured; on the Panamera S E-Hybrid
they are Acid Green, and on the Panamera
GTS and Panamera Turbo they are red.

The brake discs are slot ted and internally
vented for enhanced braking performance
– even under extreme conditions – and
rapid heat dispersal. The brake discs on
the Panamera Turbo and Panamera GTS
have a diameter of 390 mm at the front and 350 mm at the rear, whilst on the
other Panamera models the discs are
360 mm in diameter at the front and
330 mm at the rear.


The electric parking brake, which you can
activate and deactivate manually, releases
automatically as you pull away. Thanks
to the hold function, you can pull away
without ever rolling back.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
On request, your Panamera can be fit ted
with a braking system that has proven
itself on the race track: the Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB). The
cross-drilled ceramic brake discs on the
Panamera Turbo and Panamera GTS have
a diameter of 410 mm at the front and
350 mm at the rear; the other models
feature discs with a diameter of 390 and
350 mm at the front and rear, respectively.


PCCB is characterised by its low thermal
expansion under heavy braking, which
helps to prevent deformation. Furthermore,
the ceramic brake discs are totally
resistant to corrosion and of fer bet ter
noise-damping properties.


The key advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the brake discs,
which are approximately 50 % lighter
than standard discs of similar design and
size. Although enhanced performance and fuel economy are very noticeable
benefits: above all, it represents a major
reduction in unsprung and rotating
masses. That means better handling,
bet ter road holding and increased
comfort, particularly on uneven roads.

Optional for the Panamera Turbo and
Panamera GTS in conjunction with 20-inch
wheels; for other Panamera models, only
compatible with 19-inch wheels or larger.

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.
