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
[ 01 ] Sports exhaust system
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.

Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
Offering both a manual gearshift and an
automatic mode, 7-speed PDK delivers
sports performance combined with
ef ficiency and comfort. It enables rapid
gear changes with no discernible inter -
ruption in the flow of power. Gears 1 to
6 have a sports ratio and top speed is
reached in 6th gear. The 7th gear has
a long ratio, which helps to keep engine
revs within a comfortable, low range
even at high road speeds.
In keeping with the character of the
Panamera GTS, we’ve made PDK sportier.
Depending on the gearshift programme
(‘Normal’, SPORT or SPORT PLUS, p. 28), gear changes are
optimised for sport y to
extremely sporty
performance. During
an upshift, for
example, selected engine
cylinders are deactivated temporarily,
which enables the speed of the engine to
be synchronised with the speed of the
transmission more quickly to deliver fast -
er shift times accompanied by a charac -
teristic motorsport engine sound.
In SPORT PLUS mode, PDK is tuned for
maximum performance. Engine torque, for
example, is no longer reduced during an
upshift and drive force is fully exploited
to achieve best possible acceleration.
What does this mean for you? A drive that
emulates the motorsport experience.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM).
PSM is an automatic control system
that stabilises the vehicle at the limits of
dynamic driving performance. Sensors
continuously monitor driving direction,
speed, yaw velocit y and lateral accelera -
tion. Using this information, PSM com -
putes the actual direction of motion. If
this direction deviates from the desired
course, PSM can, for example, initiate
braking interventions targeted at individual
wheels in order to stabilise the vehicle.
Under acceleration on wet or low-grip
road surfaces, PSM improves traction
using the ABD (automatic brake
differential) and ASR (antislip regulation)
functions.
For an even more involving driving
experience, you always have the option
to deactivate PSM. It is automatically
reactivated, for your safet y, only if you brake harder and either of the front
wheels (in SPORT PLUS mode, both

of the front wheels) requires ABS
assistance.
PSM comes with t wo additional
functions: precharging of the brake
system, enabling maximum braking
power to be achieved much sooner;
and brake assist, for maximum
deceleration in a critical situation.
Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control
(PDCC) including Porsche Torque
Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus).
PDCC is available as an option for the
Panamera GTS. This is an active anti-roll
system that anticipates and significantly
reduces lateral body movement during
cornering manoeuvres. In addition, it
minimises the lateral instability of the vehicle on uneven ground. The effect is
achieved with the aid of active anti-roll
bars on the front and rear axles which
respond to the current steering angle
and lateral acceleration by producing a
stabilising force that precisely negates
the roll of the body.
PT V Plus combined with PDCC is a

system that actively enhances vehicle
dynamics and stabilit y. Operating in con -
junction with an electronically regulated
rear differential lock, it works by varying
the torque distribution to the rear
wheels. To be more precise, this means
that when the car is driven assertively
into a corner, moderate brake pressure
is applied to the inside rear wheel.
Consequently, a greater amount of drive
force is distributed to the outside rear
wheel, inducing an additional rotational
pulse (yaw movement) around the vehi -
cle’s vertical axis. This results in a direct
and sport y steering action as the car enters the corner. At low and medium
vehicle speeds, PT V Plus significantly
increases agilit y and steering precision.
At high speeds and when accelerating out
of corners, the electronically regulated
rear dif ferential lock ensures greater

driving stabilit y. It also serves to improve
traction at the rear wheels on road sur -
faces with varying levels of grip, in the
wet and on snow.
For the driver, this means remarkable
lateral vehicle stabilit y, optimum traction
as well as a high degree of agilit y at
every speed with precise steering and
stable load transfer characteristics. In
short, it offers pure driving pleasure.
