Engines.
Increasing power output, reducing fuel
consumption. Brief fulfilled. With engines
characterised by sporty performance
and yet comparatively low energy
consumption and CO
2 emissions.

This has been achieved thanks to
technologies such as direct fuel injection
(DFI), VarioCam Plus or variable camshaft
control, turbocharging, recuperation,
the auto start/stop function, the coasting
function or the use of plug-in hybrid
technology. The engines are structurally
rigid and, thanks to aluminium cylinder
heads and magnesium valve covers (except the Panamera S E-Hybrid), they
are comparatively light weight. This helps
to ensure a decent weight-to -power

ratio and balanced weight distribution.

Let’s take the new engine generation of
the Panamera S and Panamera 4S as
an example. It may have been stripped
of t wo cylinders and its displacement
reduced by 1.8 litres compared with
that of its predecessor, but it has been
given a twin-turbocharger arrangement.
This is where the figures begin an
upward trend. Increased power output,
greater dynamics and enhanced
e f f ici e n cy.
Direct fuel injection (DFI).
With millisecond precision, DFI injects
fuel at up to 120 bar directly into the
combustion chamber by means of
electromagnetically actuated injection
valves. DFI also improves the internal
cooling of the combustion chamber by
having the mixture prepared directly in
the cylinder. The higher compression ratio
helps to deliver more output at the same
time as enhanced engine efficiency.

We can make things move in many ways.
With lightness, for example.

VarioCam Plus.
VarioCam Plus is a two-in-one engine
concept for adjusting the intake and
exhaust camshafts and switching the
lift of the intake valves. The system
differentiates between driver inputs that
typify normal, everyday driving and those
inputs that demand maximum power.
Valve operation is then adapted
automatically to prevailing conditions.
This results in instant acceleration and
extremely smooth running as well as
extraordinary acceleration power with
comparatively low fuel consumption.
Standard in the Panamera models with
petrol engine (except the Panamera S
E-Hybrid).

Variable camshaft control.
In the V6 combustion engine of the
new Panamera S E-Hybrid, fully variable
camshaft control is used to adjust the
intake camshaft timing. The result is
high specific output and high torque –
even at low engine speeds.

Auto/start stop function.
The auto start /stop function still works
in the familiar way. As soon as you come
to a halt and keep your foot on the brake
pedal, the system will automatically
stop the engine. This fuel-saving system
restarts the engine the moment you
release the brakes.

What’s new, however, is that the engine
now switches off as you approach traffic
lights. All audio and communication
systems remain switched on and the
climate control continues to maintain
your selected temperature, despite the
engine being switched off. The engine
restarts automatically if the energy
needs of the auxiliary equipment can
no longer be met by the energy saved
in the bat tery. In all models (except
the Panamera S E-Hybrid), the auto
start /stop function can be activated and
deactivated using a separate but ton.
Coasting.
The coasting function available with
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) enables
you to save even more fuel where the
situation allows.* The engine is decoupled
from the transmission to prevent
deceleration caused by engine braking.
The Panamera S E-Hybrid goes one step
further and switches off the engine
completely. In this way, optimum use
is made of the vehicle’s momentum,
allowing it to coast for longer distances.
This achieves a noticeable reduction
in fuel consumption with no impact on
comfort or sporty performance.

Lightweight exhaust system.
The exhaust system of the Panamera
models is made from long-life stainless
steel. The primary and main catalytic
converters heat up rapidly and help

to deliver effective emissions control.
At high revs and under maximum
engine load, the exhaust system of
the Panamera Turbo opens flaps for
increased throughput and an even
more thunderous sound.
Sports exhaust system.
Available as an option for the Panamera S,
Panamera 4S and Panamera Turbo is a
sports exhaust system featuring unique -
design tailpipe trims. For an even more
authentic sports car sound – at the push
of a but ton.
The tailpipes of the Panamera GTS

sports exhaust system have a mat t
black painted finish as standard. At the
touch of a but ton or when SPORT or
SPORT PLUS mode is enabled, the
sports exhaust system provides that
characteristic motorsport sound –
another unmistakable expression of
the individualit y of the Panamera GTS.

Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM).
PASM is an electronic damping control
system and it actively and continuously
adjusts the damping force on each
wheel, based on road conditions and
driving st yle. This reduces body
movement and therefore increases
comfort in all four seats.

How does PASM work? By means of a
but ton on the centre console, you can
select one of the three modes: Comfort,
SPORT or SPORT PLUS. Sensors record
the body movements that accompany powerful acceleration, braking and

rapid cornering or uneven road surfaces.
The control unit evaluates the driving
conditions and modifies the damping
force on each of the wheels in
accordance with the selected mode. You
can feel the result: increased driving
stability, more comfort and improved
performance.
Optional for the Panamera and
Panamera 4, standard in all other models.

Keep your relationship intimate.
Adaptive air suspension.
Adaptive air suspension enhances both
driving dynamics and comfort at the
same time. It comprises a levelling
system, a manual lift function, ride-height
adjustment capability and the ability to
vary the spring rate.

The purpose of the levelling system is
to keep the vehicle level constant auto -
matically, regardless of load distribution.
For manoeuvring, the manual lift function
enables you to raise the vehicle body
by 20 mm to avoid the risk of grounding. When you select the SPORT PLUS
chassis programme, the ride height
drops to Low Level (–
25 mm, or – 15 mm
in the Panamera GTS). At the same time,
a harder spring rate is achieved through
a reduction in the amount of air stored in
the air suspension. In simple terms, it’s
a sports chassis at the push of a but ton.
Standard for the Panamera S E-Hybrid,
Panamera GTS and Panamera Turbo,
optional for the other models.
Wheels and Tyre Pressure Monitoring
(TPM).
The Panamera and Panamera 4 are
fit ted as standard with 18-inch Panamera
wheels, the Panamera S, 4S and
Panamera S E-Hybrid with 18-inch
Panamera S wheels. The wheels on all
models are light weight alloys featuring
a classic sport y design. Tyre sizes
245/50 ZR 18 and 275/45 ZR 18 are
fit ted to the front and rear, respectively.
The Panamera GTS and Panamera Turbo
are equipped with 19-inch Panamera
Turbo II wheels as standard. The t yre
sizes are 255/45 ZR 19 at the front, 285/40 ZR 19 at the rear. A range of
optional 19- and 20 -inch wheels is

also available (p. 128/129). In addition,
all-season tyres are optionally available
for all 19- and 20 -inch wheels.

Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM) sends
warnings to the on-board computer’s
display screen in the event of excessive
pressure loss.

TPM is standard in the Panamera models

71Balance
At Porsche, intelligent engineering is
also key to providing balance, especially
behind the steering wheel. On long
straights or in tight corners, with lighting
systems, for example, that enable the
driver to breathe easy regardless of the
road ahead. With brake systems that
contribute to the driver’s inner calm and
assistance systems that of fer support
rather than take over, as you will discover
from page 100 onwards.
Calm and pulse. Balance.

Lighting concept.
Standard in all new Panamera models:
Bi-Xenon headlights featuring automatic
and dynamic range adjustment, a
headlight cleaning system and integral
day time running lights with four LED
spotlights in each headlight. On the
new Panamera GTS, the headlight units
are finished in black.

The Porsche Dynamic Light System
(PDLS) is standard in the Panamera Turbo
and Panamera GTS, and available on
request for all other models. Its dynamic cornering light function
swivels the headlights towards the inside
of the bend, based on the steering angle
and driving speed. The static cornering
lights activate the auxiliary headlights

in order to illuminate more of the road
at tight bends and turns. In addition,
beam distribution is continuously adapted
in line with driving speed and prevailing
light conditions. Another function is
the adverse weather function. This is
activated whenever the rear fog light
is switched on and improves safet y
by reducing the dazzle to which you
are exposed and by providing bet ter
illumination of the kerbside.
Automatic headlight activation is standard
in all models and switches the lights on
automatically when it gets dark. The
lighting system also includes an auto matic
switch- off feature and the ‘Welcome
Home’ function – a customi sable delayed
switch- off timer that keeps the day time
running lights and the taillights switched
on until you reach your front door.


Adaptive LED brake lights are fit ted as
standard and pulsate in the event of panic
braking, thereby alerting following traffic
more quickly to a critical situation.
Sometimes, looking ahead also means thinking about
what’s around the next corner.

LED main headlights including
Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus
(PDLS Plus).
A new development is available on
request for every Panamera model: LED
main headlights including Porsche
Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus).
The inner workings of each headlight
comprise t wo light units in a stepped
arrangement – a design feature that
reinforces the imposing appearance of
the new Panamera models.

The LED beam is remarkably powerful
and provides excellent illumination of the
road. Thanks to the optimum balance bet ween short and long distance lighting
with side illumination, the similarity in
colour with the day time running lights
and low light scat ter, the driver’s eyes
tire less quickly than with other systems.


The Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus
(PDLS Plus) has been combined with the
LED main headlights. Not only does PDLS
Plus offer all the functions of PDLS,
it also features a dynamic main beam
and an intersection assistant function.

The dynamic main beam is activated
from a speed of 65 km/ h and detects
vehicles driving in front as well as oncoming traffic. The intensity and

range of the light cone can therefore
be adapted to the prevailing situation.
With the intersection assistant function,
intersections and T junctions are
recognised based on the navigation data
of PCM. For optimum illumination of
intersections, the system automatically
switches on the left and right cornering
lights. At a T junction, only the static
cornering light on the same side as the
emerging traffic is switched on.

Sometimes even short distances mean major progress.
Brakes.
The Panamera models have a braking
system equipped with six-piston aluminium
monobloc fixed brake calipers at the
front and four-piston units at the rear. The
brake calipers on the Panamera and
Panamera 4 are finished in black; on the
Panamera S models, they are silver-
coloured; on the Panamera S E-Hybrid
they are Acid Green, and on the Panamera
GTS and Panamera Turbo they are red.

The brake discs are slot ted and internally
vented for enhanced braking performance
– even under extreme conditions – and
rapid heat dispersal. The brake discs on
the Panamera Turbo and Panamera GTS
have a diameter of 390 mm at the front and 350 mm at the rear, whilst on the
other Panamera models the discs are
360 mm in diameter at the front and
330 mm at the rear.


The electric parking brake, which you can
activate and deactivate manually, releases
automatically as you pull away. Thanks
to the hold function, you can pull away
without ever rolling back.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
On request, your Panamera can be fit ted
with a braking system that has proven
itself on the race track: the Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB). The
cross-drilled ceramic brake discs on the
Panamera Turbo and Panamera GTS have
a diameter of 410 mm at the front and
350 mm at the rear; the other models
feature discs with a diameter of 390 and
350 mm at the front and rear, respectively.


PCCB is characterised by its low thermal
expansion under heavy braking, which
helps to prevent deformation. Furthermore,
the ceramic brake discs are totally
resistant to corrosion and of fer bet ter
noise-damping properties.


The key advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the brake discs,
which are approximately 50 % lighter
than standard discs of similar design and
size. Although enhanced performance and fuel economy are very noticeable
benefits: above all, it represents a major
reduction in unsprung and rotating
masses. That means better handling,
bet ter road holding and increased
comfort, particularly on uneven roads.

Optional for the Panamera Turbo and
Panamera GTS in conjunction with 20-inch
wheels; for other Panamera models, only
compatible with 19-inch wheels or larger.
