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.

Wheels and Tyre Pressure Monitoring
(TPM).
The Panamera GTS is an extremely
powerful vehicle, which is why it comes
equipped as standard with 19-inch
Panamera Turbo wheels featuring a
classic sport y design. Tyre sizes
255/45 ZR 19 and 285/40 ZR 19 are
fit ted to the front and rear respectively.
For a wider track, wheel spacers (5 mm)
are fit ted at the rear as standard.
A selection of 19- or 20 -inch wheels is
available in our range of options.
Alternatively, you can select a set of
19-inch all-season tyres. A low-rolling

resistance version of these t yres is availa -
ble as an option. These reduce fuel con-
sumption and offer improved durability.
Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM), which
is fit ted as standard, sends warnings to
the on-board computer’s display screen
in the event of excessive pressure loss.
Steering and Servotronic.
Precise and direct: describes a t ypical
Porsche steering system – with variable
steering ratio. Around the straight-ahead
position, such as during motorway driv -
ing, the ratio is less direct with no loss
of agilit y or feedback from the road.
When the steering wheel is turned fur -
ther, the ratio becomes more direct,
allowing easier cornering and parking.
Servotronic, the speed-sensitive power-
steering system, is available as an
option. At high speeds, the steering
is firm and responds with extreme
precision while steering comfort remains
as high as you would expect. At low
speeds, Servotronic’s ratio adjusts for
easy manoeuvring and parking.
