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

8-speed Tiptronic S gearbox.
Standard in the new Panamera S
Hybrid
is an 8-speed Tiptronic S
gearbox with a wide spread of
gears. 1st gear is designed for opti-
mum acceleration on pulling away.
Top speed is reached in 6th gear,
while 7th and 8th gears are used to
reduce the engine revs at high
speeds. This not only results in fuel
savings, but also improves comfort
because, on the motorway, the low
8-speed Tiptronic S gearbox
engine speeds reduce the noise
level in the interior.
The driver can influence the
shift behaviour of the 8-speed
Tiptronic S by deliberate use of
the accelerator and brake pedals.
Dynamic driving leads to more
dynamic gear shif ts and a
restrained, careful driving st yle
leads to economic shifts.Three-spoke sports steering
wheel with gearshift switches.
The standard three-spoke sports
steering wheel has t wo ergonomic
gearshift switches. Push forward
with your thumbs, and the 8-speed
Tiptronic S gearbox changes up.
Pull back with your index finger, and
it changes down.
Even if the selector lever is set to
automatic, you are still able to
change gear manually using the
slider switches. If you stop changing
gear manually, after around eight
seconds the system reverts to
automatic mode. You can also
shift into a separate selector gate
manually using the selector lever:
push forward to shift up, pull back
to shift down.
As an option, the three-spoke sports
steering wheel is available as a
multifunction steering wheel which
you can use for easy operation of
the on-board computer and many
audio, telephone and navigation
functions.
Three-spoke sports steering
wheel with gearshift paddles.
A three-spoke sports steering
wheel with gearshif t paddles is
available as an option. The alloy
paddles sit perfectly to hand
behind the right and lef t steering
wheel spokes. Pull on the right to
shif t up, pull on the lef t to shif t
down.
Also reminiscent of motorsport
is the top centre marking on the
steering wheel rim.

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.
