The Panamera GTS concept.
Ingenuity is about much more than
getting from A to B.
The Panamera model range combines
uncompromising dynamic performance
with comfort and incorporates everything
that Porsche stands for: the passionate
craf ting of highly ef ficient sports cars.
Once again, our engineers have made
further advances in this respect.
The result is the Panamera GTS –
sportiness in pure form.
GTS. These are three let ters that have
secured themselves a place in history alongside the Porsche name, both on
and off the racetrack. Three let ters that
symbolise the marriage of supreme
performance and superior sportiness in
a single car that is suitable for everyday
use.
What exactly is it that distinguishes the
Panamera GTS concept? The answer
may lie in the following facts: a 4.8-litre
naturally aspirated engine delivering
316 kW (430 hp) power output and
520 Nm torque, 7-speed Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK) and active
all-wheel drive.
Yet, pure facts alone are not an adequate
way to describe the character of the new Panamera GTS. This car does more
than
simply bridge the engine power
gap
bet ween the Panamera 4S and
Panamera Turbo, it emerges as the
sportiest model in the Panamera range
with a clear focus on performance.
For this reason, we gave it every thing
we
could to make it more responsive,
emotive and sporty, aesthetically and
technically, inside and outside. Typical
Intelligent Per formance.
Four doors and four seats: but you
knew this already. It ’s time to learn
about how we paired pure driving
pleasure with pure power.

2 emissions, please refer to page 49.

force is distributed to the front by a more
powerful engagement of the multiplate
clutch. In addition, ASR reduces wheel
slip. When cornering, the front wheels
only ever receive as much drive force
as is necessary to guarantee optimum
lateral stabilit y. In this way, PTM, in inter -
action with Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM, p. 27) ensures that the perfect
distribution of drive is achieved every
time: whether on long straights, through
tight corners, or on surfaces with differ -
ent friction coef ficients. In this situation,
traction is additionally enhanced by the
automatic brake differential (ABD).
Whenever the brake control systems are
required to intervene, PTM decouples the
front axle completely so that PSM inter -
ventions can take place at each individual
wheel.
SportDesign steering wheel.
In the Panamera GTS, the SportDesign
steering wheel is fit ted as standard and
features gearshift paddles and a top
centre marking on its smooth-finish
leather rim.
The paddles are made from a strong
alloy and are ergonomically located
behind the right and left steering wheel
spokes. Pull the right-hand paddle to
shift up and pull the left-hand paddle
to shift down. A display in the left- and
right-hand steering wheel spokes tells
you whether SPORT, SPORT PLUS and
‘Launch Control’ (p. 28) are activated.
As an option, it is possible to have the
SportDesign steering wheel rim finished
in black Alcantara.
Porsche T raction Management (PTM).
Fit ted as standard in the Panamera GTS,
Porsche Traction Management (PTM)
comprises an active all-wheel drive with
electronic and mapcontrolled multiplate
clutch with automatic brake differential
(ABD) and antislip regulation (ASR).
The electronically controlled multiplate
clutch regulates the fully variable distrib -
ution of drive force bet ween the perma -
nently driven rear axle and the front axle.
Through continuous monitoring of 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,
the longitudinal and lateral acceleration
of the vehicle, and the steering angle.
If the rear wheels threaten to spin under
acceleration, a greater proportion of drive

Panamera Turbo. The brake disc dia-
meters are 390 mm and 350 mm at
the front and
rear respectively. The discs
are internally vented and slot ted for
improved heat dispersal and braking
even under extreme conditions.
The electric parking brake, which
can be activated manually, releases
automatically as you pull away.
Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake
(PCCB).
The track-tested Porsche Ceramic
Composite Brake (PCCB) is available
on request (only in conjunction with
20 -inch wheels). The diameters of the
cross- drilled ceramic discs are 410 mm and
350 mm at the front and
rear respectively.
PCCB is characterised by its low thermal
expansion, which prevents deformation
under heavy braking. Furthermore, the
ceramic brake discs are totally resistant to
corrosion and offer more favourable noise-
damping properties.
The key advantage of PCCB is the
extremely low weight of the ceramic
brake discs, which are approximately
50 % lighter than standard discs of similar
design and size. As well as enhancing
performance and fuel economy, this
represents a major reduction in unsprung
and rotating masses. The results are
improved handling, better road holding
and increased comfort, particularly on
uneven roads.
Brakes.
The brake system of the Panamera GTS,
which features six- piston monobloc
aluminium fixed brake calipers at the
front and four-piston units at the
rear, has been carried over from the
Environment.
Porsche has reduced the CO2 emissions
of its vehicles by an average of around
1.7 % every year for the past 15 years
and by 4.6 % from 2006 to 2010.*
As far as engine output is concerned,
we are already among those manufactur -
ers achieving the lowest CO
2 emissions.
This has been achieved through efficient
drive concepts, lightweight construction,
optimum aerodynamics and low rolling
resistance. In this way, Porsche demon -
strates that even high performance
sports cars can achieve moderate fuel
consumption and exhaust emission
values in their respective category.
How? Through the use of fuel-efficient
technologies such as direct fuel injection
(DFI), VarioCam Plus, auto start/stop and

electrical system recuperation, whereby
the vehicle bat tery is charged
predominantly under braking.
Furthermore, the bodyshell of the
Panamera GTS has an alloy content of
around 23 %. The bonnet, doors, front
wings and rear hatch, for example, are
made of aluminium, which saves weight
and reduces fuel consumption.

Personalit y
PersonalityA Panamera GTS generates power effortlessly at all times, on any road. Yet, for all this
power, it also offers the highest level of comfort imaginable. At all times, on any road.
This sense of well-being isn’t available
everywhere as standard.
Interior.
An expressive design. Well-conceived
technology. A consistently sport y st yle.
Why should the rules for performance
be any different for the interior? The
interior of the Panamera GTS is sport y,
uncluttered and ergonomic. The layout
is ingeniously designed and functional.
This interior belongs in a sports car. What
strikes you immediately is the elevated
centre console with controls arranged
into logical groups for fast and direct
access by the driver. The steering wheel
adjusts for both height and reach.
The five circular instruments with ‘GTS’
logo on the central rev counter and on the integrated 4.8-inch colour display are
quick, clear and easy to read. The colour
screen gives access, for example, to
the on-board computer or t yre pressure
information and, in conjunction with
PCM, it displays the navigation system
map. That ’s not all. In the Panamera GTS,
it displays the longitudinal and lateral
acceleration forces currently acting on
the vehicle.
Adaptive sports seats are fit ted as
standard. With firm padding and high side
bolsters on the squab and backrest, they
offer good lateral support and provide a
sport y posture. Featuring 18 -way electric
adjustment, the seats can be optimally
adapted to meet your needs in terms of
seat height, squab and backrest angle,
squab length, fore/aft adjustment and
four-way lumbar support. In addition,
the side bolsters on the seat squab and
backrest are independently adjustable for added comfort on long journeys and
precision lateral support through corners.
Also included as standard are seat heat
-
ing for the front seats and a personal
memory function for driver and front
passenger seat positions and lumbar
support as well as the positions of the steering wheel and exterior mirror on
the driver’s side.
The t wo rear seats offer plent y of leg and
head room, even for taller passengers.
The backrests fold down individually with
a ratio of 40:60 to increase storage
capacit y to 1,263 litres.
