Standard in the Panamera S, 4S
and Turbo and optional for the
Panamera and Panamera 4, PASM
is an electronic damping control
system which of fers continuous
adjustment of the damping forces
according to the road conditions
and driving st yle.
Designed to operate in accord-
ance with the skyhook principle, the suspension acts to keep the
body stable. This reduces body
movement and thus increases
comfort in each of the four seats.
Using a separate but ton on the
centre console, the driver can
select bet ween three modes:
‘Comfort ’, ‘SPORT’ or ‘SPORT
PLUS’. Sensors record the body
movements that accompany powerful acceleration, braking
and rapid cornering or uneven
road surfaces.
Signals such as lateral accel-
eration, steering angle, brake
pressure and engine torque are
also analysed. The PASM control
unit evaluates the driving condi
-
tions and modifies the damping
force on each of the wheels
in accordance with the selected
mode.
For your safet y, PASM contin -
uously monitors the driving condi -
tions. If you are driving in ‘Comfort ’
mode and suddenly adopt a
sportier and more dynamic driving
st yle, the system automatically
switches to a harder rating within
the ‘Comfort ’ setup range to
increase driving stabilit y and
safet y. If, in ‘SPORT’ or ‘SPORT PLUS’
mode, the qualit y of the road
sur face drops below a certain
threshold, PASM immediately
switches to
a softer rating within
the setup range to optimise
traction and grip. As soon as
the road surface improves, the
system reverts to the original
harder rating.
This may sound rather compli
-
cated, but for you it involves
nothing more than the press of a
but ton. And you can feel the
result: increased driving stabilit y,
more comfort and improved
performance.

A Porsche holds the road well, its
handling is sport y and precise –
but you’ve known this for a long
time.
What you might not know is
that, with the optional Porsche
Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
with Porsche Torque Vectoring
Plus (PT V Plus), road holding can
be even further improved in all the Panamera models for even more
dynamic per formance and
increased comfort.
PDCC is an active anti-roll system
that anticipates and significantly
reduces lateral body movement
during cornering manoeuvres. In
addition, it minimises the lateral
instabilit y of the vehicle on uneven
ground. The ef fect is achieved with the aid of active anti-roll bars
on the front and rear axles which
respond to the current steering
angle and lateral acceleration

by producing a stabilising force
that precisely negates the roll
of the body.
PT V Plus combined with PDCC is
a system that actively enhances
vehicle dynamics and stabilit y. Operating in conjunction with an
electronically regulated rear dif
-
ferential lock, it works by varying
the torque distribution to the rear
wheels. As a function of steering
angle and steering speed,
accel -
erator pedal position, yaw rate and

vehicle speed, PT V Plus is able
to improve steering response and
steering precision by specific
braking of the right or left rear
wheel.
To be more precise, this means
that when the car is driven asser -
tively into a corner, moderate
brake pressure is applied to the inside rear wheel. Consequently,
a greater amount of drive force is
distributed to the outside rear
wheel, inducing an additional
rotational pulse (yaw movement)
around the vehicle’s vertical axis.
This results in a direct and sport y
steering action as the car enters
the corner.
At low and medium vehicle speeds,
PT V Plus significantly increases
agilit y and steering precision.
At high speeds and when acceler -
ating out of corners, the elec -
tron
ically regulated rear differential
lock ensures greater driving
stabilit y. It also serves to improve
traction at the rear wheels on
road surfaces with varying levels
of grip as well as on snow and ice.
For the driver, this means remark -
able stabilit y and easier handling,
optimum traction, and greater
agilit y at every speed with precise
steering and stable load transfer
characteristics. The result is
a high level of driving pleasure.

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.

For the Panamera 4 and 4S, and
for the Panamera and Panamera S
when fit ted in combination with
Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK),
the optional Sport Chrono Package
Plus contains even more functions.
The shift times in ‘SPORT PLUS’
mode are shorter, the gear
changes sportier. In automatic
mode and at low rates of decel -
eration – even with high engine
speeds – the system initiates a
swif ter brake-induced downshif t.
In manual mode, gear changes
are faster, more dynamic and
more direct.
A special feature of this package
that further enhances sport y
performance is Launch Control,
which is designed to produce opti -
mum acceleration from a standing
start. This function is operated via
the SPORT PLUS but ton with the
‘D’ or ‘M’ drive position selected.
With the left foot depressing
the brake pedal, the driver fully
depresses the accelerator for
maximum throt tle. The engine is
rev ved to an optimum speed of
around 5,500 rpm and the clutch
is already held in slight contact.
The message ‘Launch Control active’ appears in the display on
the steering wheel for PDK* or
optional three-spoke sports steer
-
ing wheel with gearshif t paddles*.
Now, the driver simply releases
the brake pedal, and prepares for
maximum acceleration.
Sport Chrono Package Turbo.
For the Panamera Turbo, increased
power output is a mat ter of prin -
ciple. The same applies to the
optional Sport Chrono Package
Turbo. Typifying the Turbo philos -
ophy, it not only combines all the
functions of Sport Chrono Package
Plus, it adds one more: Overboost.
Imagine you are accelerating
at full throt tle with the SPORT or
SPORT PLUS but ton selected.
Boost pressure is temporarily
increased by 10 %, which considerably increases the maxi -
mum torque that the engine is
able to produce. Instead of the
normal 700 Nm, the overboost
function
generates a torque of up
to 770 Nm for a limited period
and
a feeling of satisfaction that
lasts even longer.
