Saloon or sports car? Power or efficiency?
Quite simply, there’s no decision to make.
That ’s because the new Panamera and the
new Panamera 4 blend all these apparent
contradictions into one sporty overall
concept.
Standard features of the new Panamera
and the new Panamera 4 include Bi-Xenon
headlights, 18-inch Panamera wheels, the
t wo single-tube tailpipes of the exhaust
system and the automatic rear hatch.
Both models are also equipped as stan -
dard with the Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK). In the new Panamera, it transfers engine power to the rear axle; in the new
Panamera 4, to all four wheels via the
active all-wheel drive of Porsche Traction
Management (PTM, p.
61).
The steel spring suspension is fit ted as
standard and offers a high level of com -
fort coupled with a sport y setup. Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM,
p. 65), an electronic damping control
system and the adaptive air suspension
are available as an option.
The interior boasts high- qualit y materials,
and the partial leather package is available
in a choice of three colours. The rim of the multi
function steering wheel (p. 62)
fit ted as standard and the PDK gear
selector are finished in smooth-finish
leather, the interior trims in black (high-
gloss).
Other standard features of the new
Panamera and the new Panamera 4 apart
from the multifunction steering wheel
(p. 62) are cruise control (p. 102),
automatic climate control and the CDR
audio system (p. 92). Options include
Porsche Communication Management
(PCM, p. 92) and the BOSE
® Surround
Sound System (p. 98) or Burmester
®
High-End Surround Sound System (p. 98).
A comprehensive range of personalisation
options is available to you. These include,
for example, a selection of two-tone
finishes and other colour and material
combinations (more on these from
page 110 onwards).

Everyday driving requires practical cars
with space and comfort. But doesn’t your
heart crave a sports car? We don’t see a
contradiction.
Both models are driven by a newly
developed 3.0 -litre V6 engine with
twin-turbochargers. Engine power is
transmitted by Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK, p. 58). In the new Panamera 4S,
it is distributed to all four wheels via
the all-wheel drive of Porsche Traction
Management (PTM, p. 61). Bi-Xenon headlights, including daytime
running lights with four integral LED
spotlights, are fit ted as standard on all
models. The same applies to
Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM,
p. 65) – an electronic damping control
system – and the Tyre Pressure Monitoring
( T PM, p. 6 4).
From the outside, the new Panamera S
models are recognisable by the silver-
coloured brake calipers, 18-inch
Panamera S wheels and the round t win
tailpipes of the exhaust system.
Of course, you could find other ways to get to the office.
But why should you?
The new Panamera S and the new Panamera 4S.
In the interior, the rev counter dial face in
Silver Grey is another hallmark. Automatic
climate control and heated front seats are
fit ted as standard to provide excellent
comfort. The partial leather interior is also
standard. The seat squab surfaces, inner
backrest sur faces and the inner side
bolsters are all upholstered in embossed
leather.

Many roads lead to your destination. But
which ones take you further? To a new
future? With a sports car for the road and
for the 21st century?
E-mobilit y is the next big step. With the
Panamera S E-Hybrid we are bringing to
the road a total concept that net works
the car and its driver in an intelligent way.
Its performance puts most sports cars to
shame. Yet its fuel consumption is far
below the rate you would usually expect
of a sports car.
Still one of the most fascinating destinations of any journey:
new territory.
The new Panamera S E-Hybrid.
In the new Panamera S E-Hybrid,
innovative bat tery technology and a
powerful electric motor herald a lit tle
revolution in alternative drives: driving
pleasure. We round off our concept with
practical solutions, which we’ve realised
with e-mobility services* – smartphone
access and control functionalities – and
with practical charging systems. Now you
can top up your car’s energy levels by
plugging it into an electrical socket using
the Porsche Universal Charger (AC)
provided as standard. For an all-electric
range of up to 36 km (in NEDC). You will find more information about the drive
concept, charging options and e-mobility
services in our separate e-mobility
brochure. Drive forces are transmit ted as
standard by the 8-speed Tiptronic S
(p. 58). Also fit ted as standard are the
adaptive air sus
pen sion with Porsche
Active Suspension Management (PASM,
p. 65) and the speed-sensitive Power
steering Plus (p. 62).
The Panamera S E-Hybrid maintains its
visual identit y with the customary
‘e-hybrid’ logo on the front doors, the ‘
Panamera S’ logo on the rear hatch with
an Acid Green surround, the same as the
needles of the newly developed power
meter in the centre of the instrument
cluster. The brake calipers are also
finished in Acid Green as standard. The
features it shares with the S model –
the exterior design and the exquisite
styling of the interior – are similarly
characteristic. It almost goes without
saying that a comprehensive range of
personalisation options is available.
These are listed from page 110 onwards.
* Not available in all markets.

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?

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,
front passenger and also in the rear; and
with an interior in smooth-finish leather
and the walnut interior package. Porsche
Communication Management (PCM)
including navigation module and BOSE
®
Surround Sound System (p. 98) are fit ted
as standard. The High-End Surround
Sound System from Burmester

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

SPORT button.
The SPORT but ton, which is fit ted as
standard, enables you to select a setup
that favours either comfort or sport y
performance. At the push of a but ton,
the electronic engine management
system switches the engine mapping to
offer a sharper response and engine
dynamics that are more direct.
With the gearbox in automatic mode,
upshifts take place at higher engine
speeds and downshifts are swifter. In
addition, Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche
Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) also
switch to SPORT mode to deliver harder
damping and more direct steering and,
therefore, even more agile cornering.
Sport Chrono Package.
The Sport Chrono Package helps to
provide an even sportier setup. Included
in the package are a digital and analogue
stopwatch, the SPORT PLUS button,
the longitudinal and lateral acceleration
display and a performance display in
PCM for displaying lap times.
It used to be the timetable that decided the sports period.
Now it’s your turn.
Performance enhancement systems.
The SPORT PLUS but ton on the centre
console is used to activate SPORT PLUS
mode. The engine becomes even more
responsive. The rev- limiter is adjusted to
a harder set ting (except in the Panamera S
E- Hybrid). Vehicles with Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM) switch
to SPORT PLUS mode for harder damping
and more direct steering. Models with
adaptive air suspension drop to ‘low level’
and switch to a stiffer spring rate. In
SPORT PLUS mode, the trigger threshold
for PSM is raised for increased
longitudinal and lateral dynamics. The stopwatch mounted on the dashboard
displays recorded driving time or can be
used as a conventional clock. Porsche
Communication Management (PCM) has
a special performance display to view,
store and evaluate lap times or other
driving times.
When combined with PDK, the Sport
Chrono Package has t wo additional
functions: the shift times in SPORT PLUS
mode become even shorter, the gear
changes even sportier. The second
function is Launch Control, designed to produce optimum acceleration from a
standing start.
For the Panamera Turbo, increased power
output is a mat ter of principle. In this
model, the Sport Chrono Package takes
performance to another level with the
overboost function. Whenever you
accelerate at full throt tle in SPORT or
SPORT PLUS mode, boost pressure will
be temporarily increased by up to 10 %.
This significantly increases the maximum
torque, delivers a short-term complacent
700 to 770 Nm – and puts a smile on
the driver’s face. Standard in Panamera GTS, optional for
the other Panamera models and only in
conjunction with Porsche Communication
Management (PCM).
