Drive concept.
Yes, power is important. Just as important
as efficiency. That ’s why the new
Panamera S and the new Panamera 4S
now come equipped with a newly
developed 3.0 -litre t win-turbo V6 engine.
Thanks to some clever downsizing, the
result is more power output than that of
the naturally aspirated engine in the
predecessor model, yet with significantly
lower fuel consumption.


The lightweight construction of the new
engine also contributes to its high
efficiency. Technologies such as direct
fuel injection (DFI, p. 53), four overhead
camshafts and VarioCam Plus (p. 54) join
forces with t wo turbochargers to deliver
a high degree of efficiency and optimum
torque in every engine speed range. The result is 309 kW (420 hp) with
6,000 rpm, and 520 Nm bet ween
1,750 and 5,000 rpm. The Panamera S
completes the sprint from 0 to 100 km/ h
in 5.1
seconds and manages a top speed
of 287 km/ h. The Panamera 4S reaches
100 km/ h from a standing start in
4.8 seconds and achieves a maximum
speed of 286 km/ h. And that ’s with up
to 18 % less fuel consumption than that
of the respective predecessor model.

Drive concept.
The Panamera S E-Hybrid is a parallel
plug-in hybrid. This means that it can be
powered by the combustion engine alone,
by the electric machine alone or by both
units working together. In this way, it is
able to exploit the power generated by
both propulsion units. It ’s a concept
that ’s been proven since 2011. What ’s
new is that the high-voltage bat tery is
recharged in around 3.8 hours via direct
connection to an electricit y socket or,
whilst driving, through the process of
brake energy recovery known as
recuperation, or via the combustion
engine. Thanks to innovative lithium-ion
technology, its capacit y of 9.4 kWh
means that it also stores much more
energy. The battery is maintenance-free
and covered by a six-year warrant y.

The 3.0 -litre supercharged V6 engine
generates 245 kW (333 hp), the electric
machine 70 kW (95 hp). Combined, they
deliver 306 kW (416 hp) to the road at 5,500 rpm. With both drives working
together, the new Panamera S E-Hybrid
accelerates from 0 to 100 km/ h in just
5.5
seconds. Fuel consumption (NEDC)
is remarkably low at an average of
3.1 l/100 km, as is the CO
2 emissions
figure of 71 g / km.

The operating range of the hybrid drive
begins with emission-free and quiet
driving up to a maximum speed of around
135 km/ h and a range of approximately
36 km (in NEDC). The combustion engine
is fired automatically when necessary
as determined by the operating strategy
or actively in response to the driver
depressing the accelerator pedal beyond
a specially defined pressure point. The
kick-down point, however, enables the
maximum power output available from
both propulsion units to be purposefully
exploited as and when the driver chooses.
In e-boost mode, the combustion engine
provides assistance for the electric
drive – providing a sport y shunt into the
future. In coasting mode, the combustion
engine is decoupled to allow the car to
glide for some distance under its own
momentum – thereby further reducing
the fuel consumption.

In summary, the E-hybrid concept
promises one thing above all: sporty
performance with utmost efficiency.
The workings of the combustion engine,
electric machine and high -voltage bat ter y
are synchronised by the electronic engine
management. All processes run smoothly
and harmoniously, leaving you to
concentrate on what mat ters the most:
driving.

The new Panamera models reconcile
contradictions. They are vitalised by the
conflict bet ween comfort and dynamics
and bet ween sport y performance and
ef ficiency. Can three let ters intensif y
this conflict? The answer is seen on
race tracks and on roads. That ’s where
Porsche has writ ten the abbreviation
GTS into history – and is how the
new Panamera GTS has become the
thoroughbred athlete of the family.


The figures sum it up: 324 kW (440 hp)
power output and a maximum torque of
520 Nm. The 4.8-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine with ram air induction is
extremely responsive. 7-speed Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK) and the active

all-wheel drive of Porsche Traction
Management (PTM) transmit the engine
power of the new Panamera GTS adeptly
to the tarmac. The sports exhaust
system and the adaptive air suspension
with ‘normal level’ lowered by 10 mm
are fit ted as standard. The brake system,
wheels, front end and four-way rear
spoiler have been carried over from
the Panamera Turbo. The sideskirts are
st yled in mat t black. This is driving pleasure the GTS way –
accompanied by a thunderous
soundtrack.


The sport y characteristics of the new
Panamera GTS continue seamlessly into
the interior in the form of leather and
Alcantara and the ‘GTS’ logo in the rev
counter, on the headrests and on the
door sill guards in brushed aluminium.
Alcantara is the material used for the
seat centres of the adaptive Sports
seats, the armrests of the centre console
and the rooflining. The SportDesign steering wheel is fit ted as standard.

On request, it is possible to have the
rim finished in black Alcantara.

Two optional trim packages are available
in conjunction with the black Alcantara.
They further emphasise the sport y
at titude of the interior. The seat belts
and the stitching on the dashboard, door
waist rails, seats, and the armrests on
the centre console and doors are in
Carmine Red or GT Silver. The headrests
of all four seats are embroidered with
the ‘GTS’ logo in the same colour.
How about some extra zing?

Drive concept.
The new Panamera GTS is driven by a
4.8-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine of
lightweight construction with integrated
dry-sump lubrication. As a naturally
aspirated unit, it inherently delivers a
remarkably direct response. The
maximum engine speed is 7,100 rpm.
The result is a compelling 324 kW
(440 hp) and 520 Nm.

Features specific to the new Panamera GTS
include intake camshafts with extended
valve lift and a new air induc tion system
with t wo additional air filter modules in
the front end. Above 3,500 rpm, the
flaps on the air filter modules are opened
to allow the engine to breathe more
easily. At high driving speeds, headwind
ram pressure is exploited for an extra
boost.
The modified engine management has also
been fully adapted to the Panamera GTS
with the focus on maximum performance.
For a more direct response characteristic
and even faster gear changing of the PDK
(p. 58). You’ll certainly feel it every time
you open the throt tle. The Sport Chrono
Package is integrated as standard. In
SPORT PLUS mode, the race from 0 to
100 km/ h lasts a mere 4.4 seconds. The
achievable top speed is 288 km/ h. The
figures reveal performance in pure form.

The new Panamera Turbo is powered by a
4.8-litre t win-turbo V8 engine with direct
fuel injection (DFI, p. 53), VarioCam Plus
(p. 54) and charge-air cooling. It features
t wo turbochargers arranged in parallel –
one for each cylinder bank. Intake air is
compressed and then fed to the engine
by the respective charge-air cooler for
each cylinder strand.

Performance figures: 382 kW (520 hp)
at 6,000 rpm. The maximum torque of
700 Nm is achieved bet ween 2,250 and
4,500 rpm. Top speed is reached at
305 km/ h. The new Panamera Turbo
completes the sprint from 0 to 100 km/ h
in just 4.1 seconds.
With the Launch Control function of
the optional Sport Chrono Package
(p. 68), the clock stops even sooner at
3.9 seconds. An overboost function
temporarily increases the boost pressure
produced at full throt tle by up to 10 %.
Proof that supremacy is synonymous
with sheer fun.

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.

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.

8-speed Tiptronic S in the Panamera S
E-Hybrid reduces fuel consumption

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

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.

In this way, PTM, in conjunction with
the upgraded version of Porsche Stabilit y

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.
Do you love the road?
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.

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.
