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.

Interior.
You notice it instantly as you open the
door. Uncluttered and ergonomic, the inte -
rior is t ypical of a Panamera and, yet, it
looks sportier. This is achieved by the
combination of leather and Alcantara as
standard, available in a choice of five inte -
rior colours. The seat centres of the adap -
tive sports seats, the upper sections of
the door armrests, the armrest on the
front centre console and the rooflining
are all finished in Alcantara.
The SportDesign steering wheel with
alloyed gearshift paddles is fit ted as

standard. As an option, you can have
the steering wheel rim finished in black
A lcantara.
Specially conceived for the Panamera GTS,
an optional trim package with a choice
of two colours is available in conjunction
with the black interior. The decorative
seams on the dashboard, seats, armrests
of the centre console, doors and floor
mats are finished in Carmine Red or

GT Silver. The headrests on all four seats
are embroidered with the ‘GTS’ logo in
the same colour. To match, the seat belts
at all four seats are also finished in
Carmine Red or GT Silver.
The two-tone combinations and natural
leather interiors of the other Panamera
models are also available as an option
for
the Panamera GTS (the Alcantara
finish
is not included as part of these
packages).
What else is worth mentioning? The ‘GTS’
logo on the rev counter and the door sill
guards in brushed aluminium featuring
the ‘Panamera GTS’ logo will increase
your anticipation as you step inside.

Balance
BalanceFor us, sportiness is always measured against the safet y on which every thing is based.
For a sports car like the Panamera GTS, this mat ters more than ever.
We plan for every eventuality.
Just to be on the safe side.
Lighting concept.
Foresight begins with good visibility.
This is why the Panamera GTS is
equipped with Bi-Xenon main headlights
including Porsche Dynamic Light System
(PDLS). Its dynamic cornering light func -
tion swivels the headlights towards the
inside of a bend, based on steering angle
and road speed, and the static cornering
lights activate the auxiliary headlights in order to illuminate more of the road at
tight bends and turns. In addition, PDLS
adapts light distribution to suit the cur
-
rent speed and visibility conditions. Also
fit ted as standard are the four LED day -
time running spot lights in each main
headlight.
The lighting system features a ‘Welcome
Home’ function – a customisable delayed
switch-off timer that keeps the day time
running lights, the taillights and the
courtesy lights in the exterior mirrors
switched on until you reach your front
door.
Engineered body design.
The fully galvanised light weight body-
shell in steel and aluminium produces a
highly resilient passenger cell that offers
high levels of protection in the event of
an impact. A system of longitudinal and
transverse members at the front absorbs
energy, disperses the force of impact
and minimises deformation of the pas -
senger cell. A rigid bulkhead cross mem -
ber reduces deformation of the foot well
and provides improved protection for
the feet and legs.
The active bonnet system is designed
with enhanced pedestrian safet y in mind.
If the sensors in the front apron detect
a collision, this system raises the rear
portion of the bonnet, which can help to
reduce the risk of injury.
Airbags.
In addition to knee airbags and full-size
airbags for the driver and front passen -
ger, the Panamera GTS is equipped as
standard with the Porsche Side Impact
Protection System (POSIP). This comprises
side airbags in the front seats, curtain
airbags along the entire roof frame and
side windows from the A-pillar to the
C-pillar, and side impact protection
elements in the doors. Side airbags in
the rear compartment are available as
an option.

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.
