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.

Engine.
The Panamera GTS is powered by a
light weight 4.8-litre V8 naturally aspirated
engine. It features cast aluminium
pistons, monobloc aluminium cylinder
heads and integrated dr y-sump lubrica -
tion for a reliable supply of oil even
when an extremely sport y driving st yle
is adopted. Although it is based on the
engine of the Panamera 4S, it develops
22 kW (30 hp) more power and gener -
ates 20 Nm more torque. It also has a
faster-rev ving engine with a maximum
engine speed that has been increased
by 400 rpm to 7,100 rpm. The result
is a maximum power output of 316 kW
(430 hp) and a maximum torque of
520 Nm. This power upgrade was achieved
through a series of measures, including
modified intake camshafts with extended
valve lift and a new air induction system
with t wo additional air filter modules
each located in the left- and right-hand
sides of the front apron respectively.
Above 3,500 rpm, the flaps on the air

filter modules are opened to allow the
engine to draw in air more easily. At high
road speeds, headwind ram pressure is
exploited to achieve a further increase
in power output.
In addition, the Panamera GTS is
equipped with a specially modified
engine management system. Not only
does this help the engine to develop
torque quickly for a perceptibly more
Panamera GTS: 316 kW (430 hp) at 6,700 rpm, 520 Nm at 3,500 rpm
direct engine response, it also contributes
to a further reduction in the shift times
achieved by Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK), which is fit ted as standard. It does
this by deactivating selected engine cyl -
inders temporarily during each gearshift.
Our modifications are reflected in the
distinctly resonant engine sound
and can be felt in every bone of your
body. In SPORT PLUS mode, the

Panamera GTS accelerates from 0 to
62 mph (100 km/ h) in just 4.5 seconds
and reaches a top speed of 179 mph
(288 km/ h).
In short, the drive system of the
Panamera GTS concentrates 100 %
on the essentials: maximum sports
performance.

Direct fuel injection (DFI).
With millisecond precision, DFI injects
fuel at up to 120 bar directly into the
combustion chamber by means of elec-
tromagnetically actuated injection valves,
thus ensuring homogeneous distribution
of the air/fuel mixture, and, therefore, effective combustion. As the mixture

is prepared directly in the cylinders,
DFI improves the internal cooling of
the combustion chambers compared
with that of a manifold injection system.
The achievable compression ratio of
12.5:1 helps to ensure a high level of
engine efficiency.
VarioCam Plus.
The Panamera GTS is also equipped
with VarioCam Plus which automatically
adjusts the intake camshafts and
switches the lift of the intake valves.
In the middle and low load ranges,
low valve lifts with advanced timing
reduce fuel consumption and exhaust
emissions and improve smooth
running. High torque and maximum
output are achieved through high
valve lifts and retarded timing.
How does this benefit you? Extra-
ordinary acceleration power with
comparatively low fuel consumption.
Auto start/stop function.
The auto start/stop function is also
standard in the Panamera GTS. If, for
example, you stop at traffic lights and
keep your foot on the brake pedal, the
system will automatically switch the
engine off. This fuel-saving system
restarts the engine as soon as you
release the brakes.
A key advantage is that there is no
need for you to change your driving
habits. You can simply carry on as
normal. 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 if more power or extra cooling
output is required.
The auto start /stop function can be
activated and deactivated using a
separate button. The function may

remain inactive under particular cir
-
cumstances, e.g. in very high outside
temperatures, on extreme uphill
gradients, or if bat tery charge is low,
and will be deactivated if SPORT or
SPORT PLUS mode is activated (p. 28).
Sports exhaust system.
The Panamera GTS is equipped as stand -
ard with the sports exhaust system
featuring tailpipes painted in matt black.
The exhaust system is made from
long-life stainless-steel alloys. The
powerful primary and main catalytic
converters heat up rapidly and help
to deliver ef fective emissions control.
When a separate control but ton is
pressed or SPORT or SPORT PLUS
mode is activated, the sports exhaust
system switches to a characteristic
motorsport sound, eclipsing even that
of the other Panamera models.

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.
