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

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

If you regularly spend time in the
rear, you can customise it with
a range of optional equipment
and packages, such as the large
centre console, the roll-up sun-
blinds for the rear side windows
and behind the rear compart -
ment, or the rear interior lighting
package.
The preserve of the premium
class: the comprehensive range
of personalisation options,
with seven interior colours and
five t wo -tone combinations and
a range of optional packages
featuring fine woods, carbon or
aluminium.
If you suspected that the
Panamera is more than just a
sportscar with four seats, this is
confirmed by a glance inside the
luggage compartment (p. 126).
Under the large rear lid, there is
space to accommodate four suitcases from the Porsche
Design Driver’s Selection. Enough
room, then, for a journey with
four occupants. Practicalit y, but
the Porsche way.

combinations of technological
options, colours and materials
for the interior, please see page

So, you have duties to perform,
but who says that you cannot
follow your heart and combine
practicalit y with pleasure at the
same time? No, for us, there is

overall performance. That makes
practical sense, and pleasure, too.
The distinguishing features of
the Panamera and Panamera 4
are the 18-inch Panamera wheels,
black brake calipers and t win
single-tube tailpipes. The side
windows have mat t black borders.
Characteristic of the new
Panamera are the black double
slats on the side air intakes in
the front apron and a rear apron
dif fuser with black-grained finish.
The new Panamera 4 is identifiable
by the titanium - coloured double
slats and a rear apron dif fuser
with fins.
In terms of performance, the
Panamera and Panamera 4 are
equipped with the new 3.6 - litre
naturally aspirated V6 engine.
Ef ficient and sport y, thanks to direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 51)
and VarioCam Plus (p. 52) fit ted
as standard, it generates 220 kW
(300 hp) and 400 Nm of torque.
On the new Panamera, power is
transmit ted to the rear axle by a
6 -speed manual gearbox. The
7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK, p. 55) with Auto start /stop
function (p. 50) is available as
an option. This double- clutch transmission enables fast gear
changes with no interruption in
the flow of power, for increased
performance and greater comfort
but low fuel consumption.

a chrome- coloured border. In the
interior, the silver- coloured rev
counter dial is visually striking.
On the Panamera S, the double
slats on the side air intakes are
black. On the Panamera 4S, they
are titanium-coloured.
Both models have a 4.8-litre
naturally aspirated V8 engine that
produces 294 kW (400 hp)

and 500 Nm of torque. On the
Panamera S, power is transmit ted
to the rear wheels by the standard
6 -speed manual gearbox. The
7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK) is available as an option. On
the Panamera 4S, PDK is standard
and transmits drive force to the
all-wheel drive of Porsche Trac-
tion Management (PTM, p. 60) –
also fit ted as standard. The Panamera S accelerates from
0 to 62 mph (100 km/ h) in just
5.6 seconds, with a top speed of
177 mph (285 km/ h). With the
optional PDK, figures of 5.4
sec

onds and 176 mph (283 km/ h)
are
achieved. The Panamera 4S
completes the sprint in only
5.0 seconds and has a top speed
of 175 mph (282 km/ h).
Steel spring suspension with
Porsche Active Suspension Man -
agement
(PASM, p. 66) is fit ted as
standard in both models. Adaptive
air suspension, 20 -inch wheels
and a sports exhaust system are
just three of many options you can
select to personalise your vehicle.
Safet y features include Bi-Xenon
headlights with dynamic range
adjustment (p. 80), which provide
more effective illumination of
the road and are fit ted as stand -
ard on both models. Also standard

combined with a host of features
that are exclusive to a Turbo.
What about the aesthetics?
19 -inch Panamera Turbo wheels
and red brake calipers, naturally.
Twin dual-tube tailpipes in the
unmistakable Turbo design. Four
LED day time running lights in each headlight unit with separate
direction indicators. The front
apron features horizontal slats
and longitudinal struts in the air
intakes. The air outlets in the wing
behind the front wheels also

have slats. Five, to be exact,
and all in a chrome finish. The auto - deploying t wo -piece rear
spoiler is t ypically characteristic.
The Panamera Turbo is powered
by a 4.8-litre V8 t win -turbo engine
that generates an output of

368 kW (500 hp) and 700 Nm.
The seven-speed Porsche Doppel -
kupplung (PDK, p. 55) is fit ted
as standard, as is Porsche Traction
Management (PTM, p. 60) with
active all-wheel drive and an elec -
tronic and map-controlled multi -
plate clutch.
Performance is exemplary. The
Panamera Turbo races from 0 to
62 mph (100 km/ h) in just 4.2 sec-
onds and has a top speed of
188 mph (303 km/ h).
Also fit ted as standard in the
Panamera Turbo is adaptive air
suspension including Porsche

For saloon drivers, it seems,
the interior is no place for engine
noise. But how important is the
engine to you? We thought so. Just
as important as it is to us. This is
why we – like you – are perfectly
happy with that seductive sound.
We – like you – want to hear that
the Panamera models are unmis -
takably Porsche.
When it comes to the environment,
the facts speak for themselves.
Engines with high ef ficiency and
low fuel consumption. High power
output with comparatively low CO
2
emissions per hp.
Low on weight, too. The light-alloy
engines have cast aluminium pis -
tons (Panamera and Panamera S
models) or forged pistons
(Panamera Turbo), aluminium
one-piece cylinder heads and an aluminium crankcase of closed-
deck construction. The casing
and cooling ducts around the

cylinders form a closed system.
The engines are therefore light-
weight for reduced fuel con-
sumption and have a long service
life.
The V6 engine, which is based on
the V8 engine, additionally fea -
tures a balance shaf t to minimise
vibrations and ensure smooth
running.
An integrated dry-sump lubrication
system guarantees a reliable sup -
ply of oil in all driving situations.
Instead of an external oil tank, the
oil reservoir is located directly
inside the engine, which saves on
space and weight.

system ensures optimum engine
performance at all times. In par -

Engines.ticular, it evaluates the signals of
the electronic accelerator pedal
(E- Gas) – a prerequisite for Porsche
Stabilit y Management (PSM, p. 72),
which is fit ted as standard. More -
over, it regulates all engine-related
functions and assemblies. The
results: optimum performance
and torque with reduced fuel
consumption and
emissions,
whatever your driving st yle. Another important function is the
cylinder-specific knock control,
which compensates for dif ferent
fuel grades added to the engine.
Since cylinders never all work
under exactly the same conditions,
the ignition point is shifted indi -
vidually, as and when necessary.
The on -board diagnostics ensure
timely detection of any faults and
defects that may occur in the
exhaust and fuel systems and
notif y the driver immediately. This
also prevents increased pollutant
emissions and unnecessary fuel
consumption.

VarioCam Plus are featured as
standard. The engine delivers
220 kW (300 hp) at 6,200 rpm.
Maximum torque of 400 Nm is
achieved at 3,750 rpm.
This impressive power output
enables the rear-wheel- drive
Panamera with manual gearbox
to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph
(100 km/ h) in only 6.8 seconds,
with a top speed of 162 mph
(261 km/ h). With the optional

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.
Direct fuel injection (DFI).
