Just a second, you may be think-
ing, sports saloons already exist.
Exactly what is so new about all
this? What is required when sport y
luxury alone is not enough? Well,
how about a Porsche with four
doors and four seats in the pre -
mium class – a Gran Turismo with
sportscar technology.
The new 3.6 -litre V6 engine is
naturally aspirated and produces
300 hp. The 4.8-litre V8 engines,
either naturally aspirated or t win-
turbocharged, generate 400 hp
and 500 hp respectively. All
engines feature VarioCam Plus
(p. 52) and direct fuel injection
(DFI, p. 51) for efficient com -
bustion, a distinct rise in power
and torque, and comparatively
low fuel consumption for this
class of engine.
A breath of fresh air in the premium class:
sportscar technology.
Engineering.
Fuel economy is also boosted
by an Auto start /stop function,
only in conjunction with Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK). If, for
example, you stop at traf fic lights
with your foot on the brake pedal,
the system will automatically
stop the engine. The engine
restarts as soon as you release
the brakes or move the steering
wheel, for example.
An optional sports exhaust system
is available for the Panamera S
models and the Panamera Turbo.
Activated by a separate but ton, it
produces an even more authentic
sportscar sound.
As you would expect from a
sportscar, power is transmit ted
quickly and precisely. In the new
Panamera and the Panamera S,
power is delivered to the rear axle by a 6-speed manual transmis
-
sion. In the new Panamera 4, the
Panamera 4S and the Panamera
Turbo, all of which feature the
7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK, p. 55) as standard, drive
force is distributed bet ween the
front and rear axles by the active
all-wheel drive of Porsche Traction
Management (PTM, p. 60) with an
electronic and map-controlled mul-
ti
plate clutch for optimum traction
and driving stability.
PDK is based on a development
that helped Porsche racing cars in
the 1980s to cause a sensation
on racetracks around the world.
Gear changes take place within
hundredths of a second and
with no interruption in the flow of
power – for sport y acceleration
with a high level of comfort and a
low rate of fuel consumption.
Also new to the premium class
are the optional Sport Chrono
Packages (p. 74). These further
enhance the driving dynamics of
the Panamera models at the push
of a but ton. Two special functions are available in conjunction with
PDK: Launch Control for optimum
acceleration from a standing
start and, in the Panamera Turbo,
the ‘overboost ’ function. This
feature increases boost pressure

engine’s maximum torque: instead
of 700 Nm, a torque figure of up
to 770 Nm is achieved.

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.

Through the purposeful use of
light weight technologies, we have
managed to save weight in the
chassis and increase ef ficiency.
The next challenge was the
question of how to reconcile the
characteristics of a sportscar
with the requirements for comfort
demanded of a saloon. The
answer: modern axle concepts.
Two apparently more mutually
exclusive qualities are high
performance and excellent driving
safet y, which we resolved with
precise traction control systems
and powerful t yres and brakes.

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.

Porsche brakes are renowned
for their stopping power, set ting
the standards for deceleration
and stabilit y. They are designed to
cope with extreme forces such
as those experienced during hard
braking.
The Panamera, Panamera 4,
Panamera S and Panamera 4S all
have a braking system equipped
with six-piston aluminium mono -
bloc fixed brake calipers at the front and four-piston aluminium
monobloc fixed calipers at
the rear. The brake calipers on
the Panamera and Panamera 4
are finished in black; on the
Panamera S and Panamera 4S,
they are silver-coloured.

The brake disc diameters are
360 mm and 330 mm at the
front and rear respectively.
Owing to its greater engine
power, the Panamera Turbo’s braking system features red-
painted six-piston aluminium mono
-
bloc
fixed brake calipers at the
front and a four-piston unit at the
rear, and brake discs with a
diameter of 390 mm at the front
and 350 mm at the rear for
outstanding braking performance
and a short braking distance.
The brake calipers have an
enclosed monobloc construction.
This makes them tough but light
and enables a rapid response and
release of the brake. The pedal
travel is short and easy to control.
All models have grooved brake
discs ensuring optimum braking
even under extreme conditions.
The discs are internally vented for
rapid heat dispersal.
The Panamera models are also
equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS), designed to keep
deceleration constant. A specially
designed air duct cools the brakes
effectively and, for added safet y,
a brake pad wear indicator for
each wheel informs you when the
brake pads need to be replaced.
The electric parking brake, which
you can activate and deactivate
manually, releases automatically
as you pull away. With the hill-hold function, you can pull away with
-
out ever rolling back. The system
automatically detects when the
vehicle has come to a halt on an
uphill gradient. PSM then main -
tains the brake pressure at all four
wheels for a brief period to pre -
vent the vehicle from moving in
the opposite direction.

Cruise control.
Cruise control is fit ted as stand -
ard for added driver comfort on
long stretches of road. Cruise
control operates in the 30 to
240 km/ h (20 –150 mph) speed
range and is selected using a
but ton on the steering column
control stalk.
Adaptive cruise control.
Available as an option, this en -
hanced version of cruise control
regulates the speed of your vehicle in line with the speed of
the vehicle in front. How does it
work? A radar sensor inside the
front centre air intake scans the
road ahead up to a distance of
200 m.
If you’ve selected a cruis
-
ing
speed but have begun to gain
on
the vehicle in front because
it is driving more slowly, this is
detected by the radar sensor.
The system now reduces the
speed of your vehicle at a maxi -
mum rate of 3.5 m/s² by restrict -
ing the throt tle or gently applying
the brakes. This continues until
the distance that you have preset
is maintained. Your vehicle will now
follow the one in front at a re -
duced speed. If the other vehicle
decelerates further, adaptive
cruise control will continue to
reduce your cruising speed –
even down to a halt. For increased
safet y, the system also readies
the brakes whenever a decreasing
distance to the vehicle in front is
detected. Adaptive cruise control
and PSM interact to precharge
the braking system. If heavier
braking is required, the driver will
have to intervene manually.
As soon as the road ahead clears,
your vehicle will accelerate back
up to the cruising speed originally
set. To pull away af ter an auto -
matic stop, simply press the con -
trol lever or depress the accelera -
tor pedal.
Slide/tilt sunroof.
The slide/tilt sunroof is available
as an option for all Panamera
models. It is made from tinted
toughened safet y glass and fea -
tures a manually adjustable sliding
sunscreen and remote closing
function.
