Performance

The all-new twin-turbo V6 engine in the Panamera 4S and twin-turbo V8 engine in the Panamera Turbo are lighter and more compact than their predecessors and come equipped with VarioCam Plus. Their two turbochargers are now positioned in between the cylinder banks. This reduces the distance that the exhaust stream has to travel to reach the respective turbo – delivering a more rapid response.

The twin-turbo V8 engine of the Panamera Turbo is equipped with twinscroll turbines. The exhaust streams arrive at the turbine wheel through physically separate channels – for optimised gas cycles. The result: high torque even in the low rpm range.

When you're in the lead, you have to keep going. And here's the proof ‒ the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. The high-performance hybrid realises its full potential with a powerful 4.0-litre V8 biturbo engine and an electric machine. Together they speak a clear language, namely performance.

New 8-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)

Getting more power from an engine is worthwhile only when you know where it needs to go. And how quickly and effectively. The latest Panamera models are therefore equipped with a newly developed 8-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), which translates the tremendous drive force of the respective engine into the acceleration expected of a sports car.

Gears 1 to 6 have a sports ratio and top speed is reached in 6th gear. 7th and 8th gear have a long ratio, which helps to keep engine revs low even at high road speeds – for efficient and comfortable driving over long distances. The precise gearshifts take place in milliseconds with no discernible interruption in the flow of power – as you would expect of a sports car.

Porsche Traction Management (PTM)

All Panamera models – except the Panamera with turbocharged 3.0-litre V6 engine and rear-wheel drive – are equipped with Porsche Traction Management (PTM). This active all-wheel drive with electronic and map-controlled multi-plate clutch ensures the optimum distribution of drive force whatever the driving situation – for excellent acceleration power on long straights, through tight corners and on road surfaces with varying grip.

The multi-plate clutch regulates the distribution of drive force between the rear axle and the front axle. Driving conditions are constantly monitored, enabling the system to respond to a variety of situations. Sensors check, among other variables, the rotation speeds of all four wheels, the longitudinal and lateral acceleration of the vehicle, and the steering angle. If the rear wheels threaten to spin under acceleration, a greater proportion of drive force is distributed to the front by a more powerful engagement of the multi-plate clutch.

Chassis

Whether you’re behind the wheel or occupying a passenger seat in the front or rear: in a Porsche, every drive should feel like sport, not transport. With comfort, not cosy cuddles.

The chassis of the new Panamera models performs this balancing act between sport and comfort effortlessly – and in the most masterful way possible: with further-developed, optional chassis technologies. Examples include the adaptive air suspension with threechamber technology boasting a 60 % greater air capacity than that of the predecessor, new Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport) and rear-axle steering. What’s also new is the integrated Porsche 4D Chassis Control system, which centrally analyses the driving situation in all three spatial dimensions, e.g. pitch, roll and yaw, computes optimum driving states from these data, and synchronises all chassis systems in real time: the fourth dimension. The objective is to optimise overall performance, and to make the middle ground between sporty driving and comfort as expansive as possible.

Rear-axle steering

Available for the Panamera models for the first time: optional rear-axle steering. It enhances performance and everyday driveability in equal measure.

During low-speed manoeuvres, the system steers the rear wheels in the opposite direction to that of the front wheels. This has the virtual effect of shortening the wheelbase. The turning circle is reduced, agility is increased and parking becomes noticeably easier to manage.

During high-speed manoeuvres, the system steers the rear wheels in the same direction as that of the front wheels. This virtual extension of the wheelbase increases driving stability.

Rear-axle steering makes it clear that there is no contradiction between stability and agility or performance and everyday driveability. The result: greater manoeuvrability and driving safety in everyday use – and a significant increase in maximum driving performance.

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM)

PASM is an electronic damping control system. It actively and continuously adjusts the damping force on each wheel, based on current road conditions and driving style. The effect is to reduce vehicle body movement and thereby improve comfort in all four seats.

Three modes are available: ‘Normal’, ‘SPORT’ and ‘SPORT PLUS’. Sensors record the body movements as they occur during powerful acceleration, braking, fast cornering or on uneven road surfaces. From these data, the control unit of the Porsche 4D Chassis Control system determines the effect on the actual driving state of the car and modifies the damping force on each of the wheels in accordance with the selected mode. The results are tangible: increased driving stability, improved comfort and enhanced performance.

Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport) including Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus)

New Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport) is an active roll stabilisation system with an ultra sporty setup. It registers the lateral inclination of the body induced by cornering from the very outset and acts to suppress it. The system also reduces the lateral instability of the vehicle on uneven ground.

The new system sees the introduction of active electromechanical anti-roll bars. These provide a much faster response and are tuned for sporty driving. The result: improved performance.

In combination with new PDCC Sport, PTV Plus enhances driving dynamics and stability. As a function of steering angle and steering speed, accelerator pedal position, yaw rate and vehicle speed, it improves steering response and precision by strategic braking of the right or left rear wheel. At high speeds and when accelerating out of corners, the electronically controlled rear differential lock with fully variable torque distribution also acts to provide greater driving stability and traction.

The overall result? Strong resistance to destabilising side forces for self-assured poise. Excellent traction. Great agility at every speed – with precise turn-in and well-balanced load transfer characteristics. And, accordingly, even more fun in the corners.

Wheels

We rise to the challenge we’re given. The same applies to the wheel dimensions of the new Panamera. The tyres are wider, the contact surface larger – for enhanced performance under acceleration and braking. As of now, optional sizes of up to 21 inches are available from a range of wheel designs, assuring you of a grand appearance. The Panamera models are equipped as standard with 19-inch wheels, the Panamera Turbo 20-inch wheels. The material? Alloy, of course. The design? Classic and sporty. A choice of other 19-, 20- and 21-inch wheels is available on request.

SPORT mode

With SPORT mode, you can swap from a comfort-oriented tuning to a sporty setup. The electronic engine management system demands a sharper response. Engine dynamics become more direct. In SPORT mode, PDK shifts up later and shifts down sooner. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and optional Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport) and rear-axle steering also switch to SPORT mode, delivering harder damping and more direct turn-in – and even greater agility through corners.

Sport Chrono Package including mode switch

Adrenaline at the push of a button: the Sport Chrono Package offers an even sportier tuning of the chassis, engine and transmission. The kit includes a digital and analogue stopwatch, a graphic in the instrument cluster showing longitudinal and lateral acceleration, and a performance display for viewing lap times in Porsche Communication Management (PCM).

What’s new is the mode switch on the steering wheel with SPORT Response button, derived from the 918 Spyder. Four driving modes are available to choose from: ‘Normal’, ‘SPORT’, ‘SPORT PLUS’ and ‘Individual’ – for an even more personalised driving style.

In SPORT mode alone, the new Panamera delivers increased dynamics and more direct handling. In SPORT PLUS mode, the engine becomes even more responsive. The rev-limiter is adjusted to a harder setting. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport) are retuned for harder damping and more direct turn-in. The adaptive air suspension drops to Low Level and firms the spring rate. The rearaxle steering acts to provide even greater agility. Another function included in the package is Launch Control – for optimum acceleration from a standing start.

The stopwatch mounted on the dashboard displays recorded driving time or can be used as a conventional clock. Porsche Communication Management (PCM) is upgraded to include a performance display, enabling you to view, store and evaluate laps or other driving times.

SPORT Response

Pressing the button in the centre of the mode switch primes the engine and transmission for the fastest possible unleashing of power (e.g. for overtaking).

In other words, maximum responsiveness – for a period of approximately 20 seconds.

PSM Sport

In conjunction with the Sport Chrono Package, Porsche Stability Management (PSM) is supplemented by a ‘Sport’ mode. It allows a significantly more sporty driving style, with PSM remaining active in the background. For a further enhancement to your driving experience.

Brakes

For over 60 years, we’ve been working on being faster. Even when it comes to slowing down. That’s why the new Panamera models are equipped with a brake system having six-piston aluminium monobloc fixed brake calipers at the front and four-piston equivalents at the rear. The brake discs are internally vented and slotted. This improves braking behaviour even under extreme conditions and heat is dissipated more effectively. The one-piece brake calipers have an enclosed construction. This makes them lighter yet highly resistant to deformation. Pedal travel is tight, the pressure point precise, the braking distance impressively short.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)

Proven in motorsport, Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) is available as an option. For the new Panamera models, the cross-drilled ceramic brake discs of PCCB now have a diameter of 420 mm at the front and 390 mm at the rear – for even more formidable braking performance. PCCB features 10-piston aluminium monobloc fixed brake calipers on the front axle and four-piston units at the rear – all painted in yellow – to provide braking forces that are considerably more powerful and, crucially, are exceptionally consistent. PCCB enables shorter braking distances in even the toughest road and race conditions. Safety under high-speed braking is also improved thanks to its excellent fade resistance. Another advantage of PCCB is the extremely low weight of the ceramic brake discs, which are approximately 50 % lighter than standard discs of a similar design and size. This results in better roadholding and increased comfort, particularly on uneven roads, as well as greater agility and a further improvement in handling.

LED main headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS)

Available as an option for all Panamera models, fitted as standard to the Panamera Turbo: LED main headlights including Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) with dynamic range adjustment, dynamic cornering lights and speedsensitive headlight range control. For enhanced near-field, lateral and far-field illumination – and added safety.

LED main headlights with matrix beam including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus)

Even greater foresight is achieved with LED main headlights featuring matrix beam technology. The matrix beam strategically deactivates specific segments of the permanent main-beam cone. Eighty-four individually controlled LEDs adapt to the situation ahead by switching off or dimming accordingly. Vehicles in front or in the oncoming lane are no longer dazzled, while the areas in between and to the side continue to receive full illumination. To optimise target fixation, not only are the lights selectively dimmed to fade out oncoming vehicles, the area to the right of the light void is lit more brightly for better guidance of the driver’s visual attention. What’s more, segment-specific dimming of highly reflective traffic signs also acts to avoid driver dazzle. LED main headlights with matrix beam including PDLS Plus: bright, homogeneous, safe.

PDLS Plus, which includes all the functions of PDLS, now comes for the first time with electronic cornering lights and an intersection assistant function based on navigation data. As you approach a crossroads or T junction, the intersection assistant function activates the left and right cornering lights, and the light cone becomes wider and shorter – for enhanced illumination of your surroundings.

Night Vision Assist

Night Vision Assist provides the driver with information even beyond the range of the headlights. An infrared camera detects pedestrians or large wildlife before they are illuminated by the headlights. A thermal image in the instrument cluster warns the driver: the detected person or animal is highlighted in yellow – or in red and accompanied by an audible signal if within the critical range in front of the vehicle. In combination with PDLS Plus, the marker light function briefly flashes the headlight at the pedestrian on the kerbside or in the carriageway three times to alert the driver’s attention.

Adaptive cruise control (ACC)

This system regulates the speed of your Panamera fully independently in line with the speed of the vehicle in front. Radar sensors inside the front end scan the road ahead. Let’s 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 throttle or gently applying the brakes until your chosen distance from the vehicle in front is restored.

Your Panamera now continues to maintain this distance from the vehicle ahead. If it brakes even more, adaptive cruise control will reduce your speed 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.

Porsche InnoDrive including adaptive cruise control*

Those who drive a Porsche want to drive. The more sporty, more comfortable, more efficient and more safe the drive the better. Porsche InnoDrive assists you in a completely new way.

The system enhances adaptive cruise control with additional, innovative functions.

It predictively optimises your speed. With the aid of high-resolution navigation data and information supplied by the radar and video sensors, Porsche InnoDrive determines speed limits and topographical road features, such as gradients or corner radii, along your route even before you reach them – and modifies the gearshift strategy and speed of the Panamera accordingly. For intelligent driving and a significant efficiency advantage.

You can adapt the driving feel by pressing the SPORT button. Depending on the mode, the system selects the optimum parameters for engine management and gear selection, including coasting and deceleration.

Implemented for the first time at Porsche in the Panamera, the system uses the knowledge gained from its prediction horizon of up to three kilometres to formulate the optimum timing for acceleration, constant speed driving and deceleration phases to provide a harmonious driving experience.

Imagine, for example, that a speed restriction is in force further along the route but the traffic sign is not yet in sight of the driver: the system already knows that deceleration will be required and initiates a fuel-saving coasting manoeuvre.

Porsche InnoDrive represents the typically Porsche realisation of efficient driving – for greater comfort and greater driving pleasure.

Traffic Jam Assist

Another feature of Porsche InnoDrive including adaptive cruise control is Traffic Jam Assist. It eases the burden on the driver when congestion is encountered on major inter-urban roads and motorways.

At speeds of up to approximately 37 mph, the system uses gentle steering inputs to keep the vehicle in the middle of the lane, regulates the distance from vehicles in front and follows the queue ahead where system limitations allow. To do this, Traffic Jam Assist tracks roadway markings and other vehicles on the carriageway. The benefit? Appreciable stress relief and greater comfort on long journeys.

Lane Change Assist with Turn Assist

Lane Change Assist uses radar sensors to monitor the areas to the rear of the vehicle and the blind spots on either side. As you move to change lane, the system issues a visual warning signal in the exterior mirrors if another vehicle is rapidly approaching your vehicle from behind or is residing in one of your blind spots. The function can be activated in PCM as required. For greater comfort and safety, especially on the motorway.

During low-speed turns, new Turn Safety Assist improves safety at the rear. Once you’ve arrived at an intersection, Turn Assist issues a visual warning if it detects objects approaching in the blind spots behind your vehicle.

Lane Keeping Assist including traffic sign recognition and cornering notification

Lane Keeping Assist is a camera-based system for automatic detection of divider line markings on the road. The system eases the burden on the driver by providing steering assistance, helping to keep the vehicle in lane.

Integrated traffic sign recognition uses a camera and navigation data to detect speed limits and ‘no overtaking’ zones and to infer local traffic codes (e.g. from boundary signs). Information is displayed in the instrument cluster. The advantage over information stored in the navigation database is that even temporary speed restrictions can be detected.

New for Porsche is the cornering notification, an enhancement to the traffic sign recognition function. Based on navigation system data and camera recognition of cornering road signs, the system displays an arrowed direction warning on the instrument cluster display alerting you to tight corners. Long before you reach them.

ParkAssist including reversing camera and Surround View

ParkAssist is fitted in all Panamera models and audibly alerts the driver to the presence of obstacles detected to the front and rear of the vehicle. The audible alert is supplemented by a visual warning on the central display screen.

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.

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. It is also possible to switch between various camera views to improve visibility, e.g. at narrow exits.

Panoramic sunroof

The tinted glass panels of the new panoramic sunroof on the Panamera models create a particularly bright and pleasant lighting mood in the interior. The two-piece panoramic sunroof can be tilted and opened electrically at the front.

Interior

Sporty, for an outing on the racetrack. Comfortable, for a long journey in a party of four. There is no ‘either-or’. That’s the Panamera. Its ingenious sports car ergonomics are centred on the driver and on performance – without disregard for the well-being of passengers.

Let’s give you some examples. Ascending centre console: enabling swift hand movements from the steering wheel to the gear selector. New control and display concept: Porsche Advanced Cockpit with newly styled centre console in glass look and touch-sensitive buttons arranged in logical groups. High-resolution 12-inch touchscreen display. Instrument cluster with analogue rev counter positioned in the middle, flanked on the left and right by two high-resolution displays. Multifunction sports steering wheel.

In the new Panamera Executive models, you have even more legroom. Power seats with specially contoured comfort headrests are included in the standard specification. Optional additions, such as a large centre console or folding tables, make the rear compartment an even more agreeable working environment.

Large rear centre console and folding tables

Available as an option for the Panamera Executive models, the large centre console for the rear compartment provides not only extra storage space, but also another smartphone compartment for optimum reception, additional USB interfaces as well as a 12 V and a 230 V socket.

In conjunction with the large centre console, folding tables are available for the rear compartment on request. Folded away, they are concealed inside the large centre console. For use, they fold out manually – aeroplane-style – and adjust for distance.

Ambient lighting with rear interior lighting

Optional ambient lighting with rear interior lighting is an indirect lighting concept designed to enhance passenger comfort. You can choose from seven lighting colours and customise their intensity.

And what else? You decide: seat variants, leather or two-tone interior schemes? Fine woods, aluminium or carbon? More sporty? More luxurious? Both? Thanks to our extensive range of personalisation options, the possibilities for you and your wishes are virtually boundless.

Porsche Rear Seat Entertainment

A cinematic experience enjoyed in the second row: new Porsche Rear Seat Entertainment has been specially developed to appeal to the discerning taste of a Porsche passenger and offers a fully integrated and networked infotainment system for on the move. Both units are removable, making them convenient to use outside the vehicle, too.

Porsche Rear Seat Entertainment connects to Porsche Communication Management (PCM) via WLAN to provide access to the radio, media, navigation system and vehicle functions of your Panamera. A wealth of entertainment awaits, thanks to two separate 10-inch touchscreen displays on the front seat backrests, an internal 32-GB memory, micro SD card slot, micro USB interface, Bluetooth® and NFC (near field communication). Through the connection to the WLAN router of the Connect Plus module, you also gain access to the Internet and up to one million apps and games, to movies and music, audiobooks, e-books and productivity applications from the GOOGLE® Play Store.

For an unrestricted listening experience, the sound can be output from the integrated loudspeakers, the in-car sound system or the wireless Bluetooth® headphones.

Instrument cluster

Analogue meets digital: the new instrument cluster of the Panamera models is reminiscent of Porsche motorsport history – and, at the same time, it is as modern as only it can be.

In the middle and in direct view of the driver is the analogue rev counter, its needle integral to its truly classic design. To the left and right, two high-resolution displays provide you with a variety of information as and when you need it, such as the navigation map or Night Vision Assist.

On the left-hand side of the rev counter is the speedometer. In its centre, you can see data relating to adaptive cruise control, for example. In the display field on the outside left, you can choose to show the speed limit indicator, traffic sign recognition or the outside temperature.

On the right-hand side, the possibilities are even more varied. The inside display field is occupied by information from the on-board computer, the fuel gauge or the residual range. In the field on the outside right, you can see the time. And there’s also the option of viewing the map of the navigation system.

Seats

Front seats

The front seats offer a high level of comfort and provide support in fast corners without restricting freedom of movement. The seat height, squab and backrest angles and fore/aft position are electrically adjustable.

Power seats

The Panamera Turbo is equipped with 14-way power seats including memory package in the front. These add seat squab length adjustment and four-way lumbar support for the driver and front passenger. The memory function stores settings for seats, steering column, both exterior mirrors and other personalised in-car settings.

Adaptive Sports seats

Available as an option, adaptive Sports seats (18-way, electric) including memory package provide even better lateral support – thanks to the elevated side bolsters on the seat squab and backrest. Electrically adjustable, they offer comfort on long journeys and made-to-measure lateral support in the corners.

Rear seats

The most striking feature of the rear seats? There are two separate ones. With plenty of leg- and headroom and offering excellent lateral support through fast corners without sacrificing comfort. Eight-way power seats are available as an option for the rear in any Panamera model. In addition to the electric backrest adjustment, seat squab length adjustment and lumbar support, there is a facility to adjust the front passenger seat from the rear compartment (depending on equipment specification). In conjunction with adaptive Sports seats in the front, Sports seats featuring elevated side bolsters are also fitted in the rear.

Seat heating and ventilation

The front seats of all new Panamera models – and the rear seats of the Panamera Turbo and Executive models – come equipped with seat heating to warm the squab and backrest to an agreeable temperature. Optional seat ventilation incorporates active aeration of the perforated seat centre and backrest to provide a pleasant seating environment – even in hot weather

Massage function

On request, the power seats are also available with a massage function – front and rear. With five programmes and five intensity levels to choose from, 10 air cushions in each backrest provide a relaxing treat for the back muscles. For improved seating and long-distance comfort.

Four-zone automatic climate control including touchscreen display in rear compartment

Welcome to your personal climate zone. Four-zone automatic climate control features individual temperature setting controls for the driver and front passenger, and separate ones for each seat in the rear, too. The system also comes with a dedicated touchscreen display for the rear compartment. In addition to the air conditioning, this can be used to operate a range of other comfort and entertainment functions (depending on equipment specification).

An active carbon filter traps particles, pollen and odours and thoroughly filters fine dust out of the outside air before it can reach the interior.

A new ionisation function is available as an option – for improved air stream quality. Before it reaches the cabin, the air in the automatic climate control system is passed through an ioniser. Airborne viruses, bacteria and spores are reduced and the interior air is appreciably refreshed for an even more pleasant cabin environment.
