SPORT button.
All Panamera models are
equipped with the SPORT but ton
as standard. This feature enables
the driver to vary the engine
characteristics and, in vehicles
with PASM, the suspension setup.
In vehicles with Porsche Doppel-
kupplung (PDK), the SPORT
but ton can be used to select a
sportier gearshif t strategy. For
more information, please refer
to page 74.
Auto start/stop function (only
in conjunction with Porsche
Doppelkupplung, PDK).
Silence: the t ypical stationary
noise. If, for example, you stop at
traf fic lights with your foot on
the brake pedal, the Auto start /
stop function will automatically
stop the engine. This fuel -saving
system restarts the engine as
soon as you release the brakes.
A key advantage is that there is
no need for you to change your
driving habits. You can simply
carry on as normal. All audio and
communication systems remain
switched on and the climate
control continues to maintain your
selected temperature, despite the
engine being switched of f. The
engine restarts if more power or
extra cooling output is required.
The Auto start /stop function
can be activated and deactivated
using a separate but ton. The
function may remain inactive under
particular circumstances, e.g.
very high outside temperatures,
on extreme uphill gradients, or if
bat tery charge is low.
The starter has been modified to
meet the increased requirements
demanded by this function and the bat tery is continuously moni
-
tored for the level of charge and
condition. The bat tery and starter
are consumable components and
are subject to an increased rate
of wear in the event of frequent
engine stopping.
Fuel economy is further improved
by electrical system recuperation,
whereby the bat tery is charged
predominantly under braking.
Under acceleration, on the other
hand, the alternator’s charging
current is reduced so that the
engine does not need to work as
hard to charge the bat tery.
Performance | Engines
With millisecond precision, DFI
injects fuel at up to 120 bar di rect -
l y
into the combustion chamber
by means of electromagnetically
actuated injection valves.
The spray and cone angles have
been optimised for torque, power
output, fuel consumption and
emissions by enabling a homoge -
neous distribution of the air/fuel
mixture, and, therefore, ef fective combustion. At up to 3,500 rpm,
the engine operates with dual
injection for faster heating of the
cataly tic converters af ter a cold
start and for greater torque in the
upper load range.
DFI improves the internal cooling
of the combustion chamber by
having the mixture prepared
direct
ly in the cylinder. This allows
for a higher compression ratio, which helps to deliver more out
-
put at the same time as enhanced
engine ef ficiency. Injection is
regulated by the electronic engine
management system and emis-
sions are monitored by the stereo
Lambda sensors, thus helping to
protect the environment.
A sense of relaxation is felt especially
after a period of intense pressure.

VarioCam Plus.
VarioCam Plus is a t wo -in - one
engine concept for adjusting the
intake camshaf ts and switching
the lif t of the intake valves.
The system first dif ferentiates
bet ween driver inputs that t ypif y
normal, everyday driving and
those inputs that demand maxi -
mum performance. The electronic
engine management system then
seamlessly adapts valve operation
to the prevailing conditions. This
results in instant acceleration and
extremely smooth running. In the middle and low load ranges,
low valve lifts with advanced

timing reduce fuel consumption
and exhaust emissions and im -
prove smooth running. The i n -
crease in fuel economy is particu -
larly pronounced in the lower
engine speed range. High torque
and maximum output are achieved
through high valve lifts and ad -
vanced timing.
How does this benefit you?
Extraordinary power with
relatively low fuel consumption.
Exhaust turbocharging.
The Panamera Turbo has t wo
turbochargers arranged in parallel.
Intake air is compressed and then
fed to the engine via t wo charge-
air coolers, one for each cylinder
bank. Cooling of the compressed
air has t wo positive outcomes:
high cylinder charge and low com -
ponent temperatures. Under full
load, the boost pressure depends
on the current engine speed and
a maximum pressure of 0.85 bar is
achieved at 2,500 rpm at sea
level.
With the optional Sport Chrono
Package Turbo, the boost pressure
produced at full throt tle in the
2,000 rpm to 5,000 rpm range is
temporarily increased by up to
10 % by the ‘overboost ’ function.
VarioCam Plus
Lightweight exhaust system.
The exhaust system is made from
selected longlife stainless steel.
The powerful primary and main
cataly tic converters heat up
rapidly for ef fective emissions
control. As a result, all Panamera
models are equipped to meet
the Euro 5 emission standard in
Europe.
The exhaust system of the
Panamera Turbo switches bet ween
t wo configurations automatically:
low noise at low engine speeds,
and increased throughput at high
revs under maximum engine load.
Sports exhaust system.
An optional sports exhaust system
is available for the Panamera S
models and Panamera Turbo.
Acti
vated by a separate but ton, it
produces an even more authentic
sportscar sound.

Performance | Chassis
As standard, all Panamera models
are equipped with enhanced
Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM), which maintains stabilit y
even at the limits of dynamic
driving per formance. Sensors
continuously monitor the direction,
speed, yaw velocit y and lateral
acceleration of the car. Using
this information, PSM is able to calculate the actual direction of
travel at any given moment. If

the car be gins to oversteer or
understeer, PSM applies selective
braking
on individual wheels to
restore
stabilit y.
Under acceleration on wet or low-
grip road surfaces, PSM improves
traction – and agilit y – using the
automatic brake dif ferential (ABD), antislip regulation (ASR) and
engine drag torque control (MSR).
When ‘SPORT PLUS’ mode is
selected
on the optional Sport
Chrono Package Plus (p. 74)
or Sport
Chrono Package Turbo
(p. 76), the PSM intervention
threshold is raised to allow a
sportier driving st yle.
For an even more dynamic expe-
rience, you always have the
option to deactivate PSM. It is
automatically reactivated, for your
safet y, only if you brake harder
and either of the front wheels (in
SPORT PLUS mode, both of the front
wheels) requires ABS assistance.
ABS and ABD, however, remain
active at all times.
For an even higher level of active
safet y, the enhanced PSM includes
t wo additional functions: pre -
charging of the brake system, and
brake assist. If you suddenly release the accel
-
erator pedal, PSM detects the
release of the throt tle and auto -
matically readies the braking
system. This precharging of the
braking system builds up a small
amount of pressure so that the
brake pads are already in light
contact with the brake discs. If
you actually need to apply the
brakes, maximum braking power
is therefore achieved much
sooner, which reduces the stop -
ping distance even further. Brake
assist, on the other hand, is
able to interpret a panic braking situation from a rapid increase in
brake pressure and acts to ensure
that the amount of brake pressure
required for maximum decelera
-
tion is immediately available.
PSM therefore of fers a high level
of driving stabilit y and safet y com -
bined with extraordinary agil
it y.
In line with the Porsche philosophy.
Even a Porsche has limits to its dynamic performance.

In models with the V8 engine,
exhaust gas cleaning is supported
by an air injection system. A com-
pressor pumps extra air into the
exhaust tract during the cataly tic
converter warm-up phase for
faster heating and, therefore,
lower emissions.
Other measures for improving fuel
economy are the Auto start/stop
function (p. 50) and electrical
system recuperation, whereby the
vehicle bat tery is charged pre-
dominantly under braking. Under
acceleration, on the other hand,
the charging current of the regu -
lated alternator is reduced so that
the engine does not need to work
as hard to charge the bat tery.
Lightweight construction and
recycling.
A fundamental objective in the
development of any Porsche is
intelligent lightweight construction.
For both economical and ecologi -
cal reasons. This forms the basis
for low fuel consumption values in conjunction with outstanding
performance. It is economical
thanks to the high proportion of
aluminium cast alloys, plastics
and super-high-strength sheet
steel used. This is substantially
more stable and lighter than

conventional steel. The Panamera
models have a bodyshell with a
light weight-metal content of 23 %.
For example, the bonnet, doors,
front wings and rear lid are made
of aluminium, which saves on
weight and has a positive ef fect
on the environmental balance:
according to eco balance sheets,
the extra energy used and the
higher emissions incurred in the
manufacturing of aluminium
are more than compensated by
the savings on fuel af ter only a
relatively short distance.
It is also responsible because all
materials used are meticulously
selected. We use only innovative
and environmentally friendly com -
ponents. All light weight materials
are easily recyclable and each
material is labelled to facilitate its
separation for recycling. The reduction in the number of plastic
variants helps to ensure more
efficient recycling. Recycled plas
-
tics are used where they meet our
exacting technical requirements
In all, the Panamera is approxi -
mately 95 % recyclable.
In addition, Porsche uses only
environmentally friendly water-
based paints, thus reducing
the need for solvents both in pro -
duction and in the workshop.
The Panamera is also absolutely
free of asbestos, CFCs and
components manufactured using
CFCs because, here at Porsche,
environmental protection does
not begin at the end of a vehicle’s
life. It starts at the planning and
development stage.
