Supreme performance can take the
breath away. Or it can force us to
keep calm and breathe deeply. It ’s like
sit ting behind the wheel of the new
Panamera Turbo.

Here, comfort and sportiness intertwine
without compromise. Its 4.8-litre t win-
turbo V8 engine delivers 382 kW (520 hp)
and offers a maximum torque of 700 Nm
bet ween 2,250 and 4,500 rpm. The
new 19-inch Panamera Turbo II wheels
afford a glimpse of the brake system
and its red brake calipers.
520 hp unleashes a mighty force.
The kind to put a smile on your face.

The new Panamera Turbo.
The twin dual-tube tailpipes are in the
unmistakable Turbo design. Just like
the chrome- coloured air outlets behind
the front wheels.
The front end features large air intakes to
increase the volume of cooling air, while
the four-way rear spoiler helps to reduce
lift at the rear axle.

Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK, p. 58) is
fit ted as standard, as is Porsche Traction
Management (PTM, p. 61) with active
all-wheel drive and an electronic and map - controlled multi - plate clutch.
Displays in the instrument cluster and
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM, p. 92) inform you of the
longitudinal and lateral acceleration
forces currently acting on the vehicle.
Integrated as standard, the adaptive air
suspension including Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM, p.
65)
enhances sport y per formance –
or comfort. At the push of a but ton.

In the interior, the Turbo presents its own
interpretation of the sport y st yle that characterises any Porsche. It achieves
this with electric eight-way power seats
(front) with memory package (p. 88),

and seat heating (p. 91) for the driver,

Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
Offering both a manual gearshift and an
automatic mode, 7-speed PDK promises
to deliver sports performance with
efficiency and comfort as well as
rapid gear changes with no discernible
interruption in the flow of power.
PDK is essentially t wo gearboxes in one.
The double clutch provides an alternating,

friction-locked connection between these
t wo half gearboxes and the engine. Gears
1 to 6 have a sports ratio and top speed
is reached in 6th gear. The 7th gear
has a long ratio, which helps to keep the
engine revs low, even at high speeds.
Depending on the gearshift programme (SPORT button activated or deactivated),
the gear change is optimised for comfort
or sporty driving.


For the Panamera GTS, we’ve made PDK
even sportier. The gearshift programmes
(Normal, SPORT or SPORT PLUS)
configure the gear changes to be sport y
to extremely sport y. During an upshift,
for example, selected engine cylinders
are deactivated temporarily, which
enables the speed of the engine to be
synchronised with the speed of the
transmission more quickly. This results
in even faster shift times accompanied
by a characteristic motorsport engine
sound.
After all, you also control your muscles with your head.

Transmission.
8-speed Tiptronic S.
8-speed Tiptronic S in the Panamera S
E-Hybrid reduces fuel consumption
and improves comfort. How? With a
particularly wide gear ratio spread. The
relatively low engine speeds in the upper
gears reduce noise levels in the interior,
especially on the motorway. The 8-speed
Tiptronic S shifts automatically and
adapts to your driving st yle. Of course,
you can still change gear manually at
the gear selector itself or using the t wo
ergonomic gearshift switches on the
steering wheel.Multifunction steering wheel, Sport Chrono Package

Porsche Traction Management (PTM).
Porsche Traction Management (PTM)
comprises an active all-wheel drive with
electronic and map - controlled multi - plate
clutch, with automatic brake differential
(ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR).

The electronically controlled multi - plate
clutch regulates the distribution of drive
force bet ween the permanently driven
rear axle and the front axle. Through
continuous monitoring of the driving
conditions, the electronics are able to respond to a variet y of situations.
Sensors check, among other variables,
the rotation speeds of all four wheels,
longitudinal and lateral acceleration of
the vehicle, and the steering angle. If, for
example, the rear wheels spin under
acceleration, a greater proportion of
drive force is redirected to the front by a
more powerful engagement of the multi-
plate clutch. In addition, ASR reduces
wheel slip. In corners, the drive force
sent to the front wheels is regulated for
optimum lateral stability.
Exerting your authority. Letting go. Providing balance.

Chassis.
In this way, PTM, in conjunction with
the upgraded version of Porsche Stabilit y
Management (PSM, p. 67) ensures
optimum force delivery in every driving
situation and excellent acceleration
power: whether on long straights, through
tight corners, or on road surfaces with
varying grip.
Standard in the Panamera 4,
Panamera 4S, Panamera GTS and
Panamera Turbo.

Steering and Power steering Plus.
The steering system with its variable
steering ratio is precise and direct.
Around the straight ahead position, such
as when on the motorway, the ratio is less
direct with no loss of agilit y or feedback
from the road. When the steering wheel is
turned further, the steering ratio becomes
more direct, allowing easier cornering and
parking. For even greater driving comfort,
speed-sensitive Power steering Plus is
available as an option. At high speeds,
the firmer steering ratio enables precision
steering manoeuvres; at low speeds,
the ratio automatically adjusts to facilitate
parking. Power steering Plus is standard in the
Panamera S E-Hybrid and optional for

all other Panamera models.
Steering wheels.
The multifunction steering wheel is
standard in all models and available on
request for the Panamera GTS at no
extra cost. It features t wo ergonomic
gearshift switches for manual gear
selection and of fers convenient control
of audio, telephone and navigation
functions as well as the on-board
computer. In conjunction with PDK and
the Sport Chrono Package (p. 68), you
will find an additional display above the airbag module for the SPORT and

SPORT PLUS modes and the Launch
Control function.
The SportDesign steering wheel with
gearshift paddles is fit ted as standard
in the Panamera GTS and available
as an option for all other models. It is
distinguished by its striking dual-arm
design. Upon request, it is possible to
have the SportDesign steering wheel
finished in black Alcantara.
We haven’t reinvented the wheel.

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
(optional for Panamera and Panamera 4).19 - inch Panamera Turbo ll wheel

Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC) including Porsche Torque
Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus).
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
is an active anti - roll system that antici-
pates and reduces lateral body move -
ment during cornering manoeuvres. In
addition, it minimises the lateral insta -
bilit y of the vehicle on uneven ground.

PT V Plus – in combination with PDCC –
enhances driving dynamics as well as
stabilit y. As a function of steering angle
and steering speed, accelerator pedal
position, yaw rate and vehicle speed, it is able to improve steering response and
steering precision by specific braking of
the right or left rear wheel.


What do PDCC and PT V Plus mean for
you? Remarkable lateral stability and
easier handling, excellent traction, and
great agilit y at every speed with precise
steering and stable load transfer
characteristics. And even more fun in
the corners.
Optional for the Panamera models
(except Panamera S E-Hybrid).
The more stable the relationship,
the greater your individual freedom.
Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
PSM maintains stability even at the limits
of dynamic driving performance. Sensors
continuously monitor the direction, speed,
yaw velocit y and lateral acceleration

of the car. PSM improves traction under
acceleration on inconsistent road sur faces.
When SPORT PLUS mode is selected

on the Sport Chrono Package (p. 68),
the PSM intervention threshold is raised
to give sport y drivers greater freedom
to assert their own driving st yle.
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.

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.
