Performance with conviction. There’s not much dif ference bet ween
your view of life and ours. Such as our views on sportscars and
hybrid vehicles.

Hybrid drive.
Do you drive a powerful sportscar?
Or do you prefer an ef ficient
hybrid? It ’s amazing how dif ferent
the emotional and the rational can
appear until they really come
together – as in the parallel full
hybrid from Porsche, for example.
The new Panamera S Hybrid has
a 3.0-litre V6 compressor engine.
The charge effect of the compressor
gives a high torque of 440 Nm
even at
low speeds. Performance:
245 kW (333 hp).
These figures alone were reason
enough to start. However, we have
also added something for the
future: the electric motor, which
delivers its maximum output of
34 kW (47 hp) at 288 volts,
providing high torque, especially
in the lower rev range. It acts as
the starter as well as a generator. Together, the t wo units develop a
maximum total system power out-
put of 279 kW (380 hp). Maximum
torque: 580 Nm. Acceleration from
0 to 100 km/h: just 6.0 seconds.
Fuel consumption per 100 km is
just 8.3 litres in the urban cycle,
6.4 litres in the extra urban cycle and 7.1 litres in the combined
cycle, with CO
2 emissions of
167 g / km combined*. What
does that mean for the hybrid?
It currently has the lowest CO
2
emissions and fuel consumption
of any series-produced car from
Porsche.
Rational: certainly right.
Emotional: rightly certain.
* Values for optional 19 - inch All -Season t yres, in an optimum rolling resistance design, in l/100km: 8.0 urban; 6.1 extra urban; 6.8 combined;
CO2 emissions 159 g / km combined.

What makes the Panamera S Hybrid
so special?
In the parallel full hybrid, the com-
pact electric motor is integrated
directly into the transmission. The
hybrid module sits bet ween the
gearbox and the combustion
engine, which can be decoupled
from or connected to the trans-
mission via a specially developed
separating coupling.
The system’s high-voltage nickel-
metal hydride (NiMH) bat tery is
situated below the floor of the
rear luggage compartment and
requires no maintenance during
its lifetime.
from the electric motor alone is
not sufficient. This saves fuel.
A further energy saving can be
made by coasting during driving.
That means running without the
combustion engine in operation –
it switches of f automatically. You
can see this from the rev counter,
which will be on READY and not
displaying any revs. Through this,
the hybrid shows its advantages
away from cit y traf fic – at speeds
of up to 164 km/ h.
The interplay between the combus-
tion engine, separating coupling,
electric motor and high -voltage
bat tery is regulated by the elec-
tronic engine management sys-
tem. It decouples the combustion
engine or switches it on, perform-
ing both of these actions quickly
– and therefore ef fortlessly and
smoothly. Thanks to the rapid
action separating coupling and
the
equally fast responding com-
bustion
engine, these processes
are performed comfortably and
harmoniously. There is no need
to adapt to the system.
Drive modes specific to the
hybrid.
At moderate acceleration and
speeds up to 75 km/h, the electric
motor drives the car independently.
So you can drive through residen-
tial areas, for example, without any
emissions and making almost no
noise. The combustion engine is
automatically decoupled via the
separating clutch and switched off.
The ‘E-Power’ but ton expands the
range in which the vehicle can be
run solely on electric power
. The
combustion engine switches on
later than in normal mode, depend-
ing on the power demand. This
makes purely electric driving easier
and more comfortable.
The avail-
abilit y of purely electric
mode
depends on factors such as bat tery

charge status and
temperature.
In addition, the electric motors
can be used to boost performance
– for faster acceleration, particu-
lary when pulling away.

With the integral auto start/stop
function, if you have to stop
in traf fic the combustion engine
is automatically switched off.
It starts again only when you
accelerate and the power available

Adaptive pneumatic suspension
including Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM).
The new Panamera S Hybrid is
equipped with adaptive pneumatic
suspension including Porsche
Active Suspension Management
(PASM) as standard. This combined
system improves both driving
dynamics and comfort. As well as
PASM, it includes level control,
height adjustment and spring rate
adjustment.
Level control ensures that the
vehicle always remains level –
automatically, irrespective of load
distribution. The manually control-
led High Level raises the vehicle
by 20 mm to minimise the risk
of grounding over obstacles,
e. g. when entering a garage.*
When SPORT PLUS is selected, the
height adjustment is automatically
set to Low Level (– 25 mm). A
harder spring rate can also be set
by reducing the volume of air in
the pneumatic suspension. Sports
suspension at the push of a but ton.
The system also includes PASM –
for electronic adjustment of the
damper system. It actively and continuously adjusts the damper
force according to the road surface
and driving st yle. Designed to
operate in accordance with the
Skyhook principle, it acts to keep
the body stable to reduce body
movement and thus increase com-
fort in all four seats.
How does PASM work? A but ton on
the centre console of fers a choice
of three modes, Comfort, SPORT
and SPORT PLUS. Sensors detect
the vehicle body movements
which occur on rapid acceleration,
braking, cornering or on an uneven
surface. Signals such as transverse
a
cceleration, steering angle, brake
pressure and engine torque are
also taken into account. From
these, the control unit determines
the present vehicle status, and
adapts the damper set ting accord-
ing to the mode selected.
For your safet y, however, PASM
constantly monitors the driving
conditions. If, in Comfort mode,
you suddenly adopt a sportier and
more dynamic driving st yle, the
system automatically switches to a
harder rating within the Comfort
setup range to increase driving
stabilit y and safet y. Likewise, if in SPORT or SPORT
PLUS mode the driving surface
becomes uneven, PASM quickly
switches to a sof ter rating within
the selected mode, to optimise
traction and grip.
For you, it ’s just the push of a
but ton, with a perceptible result:
increased stabilit y, more comfort
and improved performance.

permissible installation height of the reflector units may then be exceeded.

Porsche Stability Management
(PSM).
PSM is an automatic control system
for stabilit y even at the limits of
dynamic driving performance.
Sensors continuously monitor the
direction, speed, yaw velocit y and
lateral acceleration of the vehicle.
PSM uses these values to calculate
the actual direction of travel. If
the car begins to oversteer or
understeer, PSM applies selective
braking on individual wheels to
restore stability.
When accelerating on low-grip
road surfaces, PSM increases
traction using the automatic brake
dif ferential (ABD) and anti-slip
regulation (ASR). For a more active
driving experience, PSM can be
switched off but it remains active
in the background.
Two further functions of PSM
include precharging of the braking
system, to achieve maximum
braking force earlier, and brake
assist for maximum deceleration
in an emergency.
SPORT button.
The standard SPORT but ton is
used to switch bet ween comfort
and sport y setups. At the push of
a but ton, the electronic engine
management system makes the
engine more responsive so that the
engine dynamics become more
direct. The 8-speed Tiptronic S
gearbox shifts up later – and down
earlier. Porsche Active Suspension
Management (PASM) is set to
SPORT mode for harder damping
and more direct steering and,
therefore, greater agilit y on cor-
nering.
Even in SPORT mode, all driving
modes specific to the hybrid
engine are retained, such as elec-
tric driving or recuperation.
E-Power supports the combustion
engine at just 80 % accelerator
pedal position, instead of only on
kick-down as usual.
Sport Chrono Package Plus.
Sport Chrono Package Plus is
available as an option for the
Panamera S Hybrid (only in
conjunction with Porsche Commu-
nication Management – PCM) for an
even sportier vehicle setup.
This includes a digital and analogue
stopwatch, the SPORT PLUS button
and a performance display in the
PCM for lap times. When the
SPORT PLUS but ton in the centre
console activates SPORT PLUS
mode, the engine management
system makes the engine more
responsive, as in SPORT mode.
Porsche Active Suspension Manage-
ment (PASM) is set to SPORT PLUS
mode for harder damping. The
adaptive pneumatic suspension
lowers the vehicle and switches
to a harder spring rate.
Porsche Stabilit y Management
(PSM) intervenes later in SPORT
PLUS mode – for increased
longitudinal and lateral dynamics.
Agilit y is enhanced when braking
for corners with PSM enabling
greater manoeuvrabilit y under
braking and exit acceleration,
particularly at low speeds. SPORT PLUS mode of fers even
more agilit y when PSM is switched
off. However, for safet y, it is set to
intervene automatically only when
ABS assistance is required on both
of the front wheels.
A key component of the Sport
Chrono Package Plus is the
stopwatch mounted on the dash-
board. It displays, stores and
analyses lap times and times for alternative routes and Porsche
Communication Management
(PCM) is extended to include the
performance display.

The new Panamera S Hybrid | Balance
Brakes.
The braking system of the
Panamera S Hybrid is equipped
with six-piston aluminium mono-
bloc fixed calipers at the front and
four-piston aluminium monobloc
fixed calipers at the rear, with
brake disc diameters of 360 mm
and 330 mm, respectively. The
discs are internally vented for rapid
heat dispersal.
The manually activated electric
parking brake releases automati-
cally on pulling away. Using the
hill-hold function you can pull away without rolling back on the flat or
on an incline. Via PSM, even on a
hill, the system automatically main-
tains the brake pressure on all four
wheels for a brief period, and pre-
vents the vehicle from rolling away
in the opposite direction.
Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB).
The racetrack tested Porsche
Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB)
is available as an option for 19-inch
wheels or larger. The cross-drilled
ceramic brake discs have a dia-
meter of 390 mm at the front and
350 mm at the rear. The key advantage of PCCB is its
total weight saving. Its brake discs
are approximately 50 % lighter than
standard brake discs of similar
design and size. As well as enhanc-
ing performance and fuel economy,
this large reduction in both
un sprung and rotating masses
ensures bet ter handling and road
holding, improved agilit y and
increased comfort, especially on
uneven road surfaces.
Environment.
Over the last 15 years, Porsche
has reduced the CO
2 emissions of
its vehicles by an average of 1.7 %*
per year. In relation to engine
power, Porsche is already among
those vehicle manufacturers with
the lowest CO
2 emissions – thanks
to efficient engine technology,
lightweight construction, optimised
aerodynamics and low rolling
resistance. Porsche proves that even high per-
formance sportscars can achieve
moderate consumption and emis-
sion values for their categories.
The Panamera S Hybrid meets the
requirements of the Euro 5 emis-
sions standards in Europe and
ULEV regulations in the USA.
How? By ef ficient use of fuel with
technologies such as parallel full
hybrid drive, Direct fuel injection
(DFI) and recuperation, when the bat tery is charged mainly during
the braking phases.
In addition, the body of the
Panamera S Hybrid consists of
around 23 % light weight alloy.
For example, the bonnet, doors,
front wings and tailgate are made
of aluminium which saves weight
and fuel.
