The Panamera is powered by a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with power output of 348 hp and torque of 368 lb-ft.
Unusual in a luxury sedan, standard in a sports car: the 8-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) with automatic mode and manual operation via paddles on the steering wheel. The precise gear changes take place in milliseconds without any noticeable interruption in traction.
With the exception of the rear-drive Panamera, all models are equipped with Porsche Traction Management (PTM): active all-wheel drive system with an electronically variable, map-controlled multi-plate clutch, automatic brake differential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR).
Optional rear-axle steering (standard on the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid) enhances performance and day-to-day usability in equal measure. At low speeds, the turning circle is reduced, agility is increased and parking becomes noticeably easier to manage. At higher speeds, driving stability is increased. The result: greater maneuverability and driving comfort in everyday use.
The Panamera models are equipped with adaptive air suspension including Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). The high-end Porsche Active Ride chassis is optionally available for the Panamera E-Hybrid models.
Should a sports sedan really look like a sedan? The Panamera once again answers this question with an unequivocal "No". The outline and proportions are unmistakably Porsche. Athletic, streamlined, with clear contours and powerful proportions. The long wheelbase, shorter overhang at the front and longer overhang at the rear already lend visual dynamism. The prominent sculpting of the side profile creates the customary Porsche waistline and sense of lightness.
With 64,000 camera-controlled pixels, the HD matrix LED headlights with innovative pixel LED technology react to every driving situation with light distribution adapted to the situation. For example, the glare-free high beam, illumination of the exact driving lane, mapping of the vehicle width in construction zones and narrow areas, as well as the fog-optimized dipped beam and rain light ensure greater safety and a high level of comfort.
A striking detail of the Panamera models: the three-dimensional taillight strip with double arc and integrated brake light. Standard on the Panamera GTS and available on request for the other models: Exclusive Design tail lights with no Red when switched off and light animation when locking and unlocking the vehicle.
The active air intake flaps in the newly designed front end are automatically opened and closed depending on the drive's cooling requirements to keep the flow resistance as low as possible.
Wheels in sizes from 19 to 21 inches in various designs and paint finishes are available for the Panamera models. Standard equipment on the Panamera GTS and the Turbo S E-Hybrid models and available on request for the Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid: the 21-inch Panamera Turbo S wheel with a central locking system inspired by the world of motorsports.
The side air outlets in the front fenders ensure efficient ventilation of the front wheel arches and improve aerodynamics.
The extendable rear spoiler, which is integrated into the body, is part of the Porsche Active Aerodynamics. It optimizes aerodynamics and reduces lift on the rear axle at high speeds. The four-way rear spoiler of the Panamera GTS and Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid models splits after deploying, significantly increasing its width – in line with the increased power output.
The Panamera and Panamera 4 are equipped with an exhaust system with two single tailpipes on the left and right in brushed stainless steel; the Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid models have two turbo-specific tailpipes, which are finished in Dark Bronze. The Panamera 4S E-Hybrid and Panamera GTS have sport tailpipes boasting a unique design, which are also available for the other models on request. The Sport Exhaust System including sport tailpipes is available as an option (standard on Panamera GTS).
Lots of luggage? Made a big purchase or transporting sports equipment? The luggage compartment of the Panamera models offers plenty of space and is easily accessible thanks to the large powerlift trunk. With the rear seat backs folded down, even large objects can be transported, which is rare for a sports car.
The Panamera models are equipped with the Sound Package Plus with 10 speakers and an output of 150 watts. The BOSE® Surround Sound System with 14 speakers, incl. subwoofer and total output of 710 watts, is available on request (standard on the Panamera Turbo E-Hybrid models and the Panamera GTS). The Burmester® 3D High-End Surround Sound System, with a total output of 1,455 watts and 21 independently controlled speakers, is also available.
For added convenience, the PDK gear lever is located on the dashboard behind the steering wheel. The air conditioning controls are located in the rising center console and the cell phone charging cradle is located underneath. The charging cradle features 15-W wireless charging and is cooled for high charging performance.
The main feature: there are two single seats. With plenty of legroom and headroom and excellent lateral support during dynamic cornering without sacrificing comfort. On request, comfort seats with electric backrest adjustment, seat length adjustment and lumbar support are also available for the rear seats, or the 4+1 seat system in case a fifth person occasionally needs a seat. The Panamera Executive models are equipped with individual comfort seats in the rear, including comfort headrests and a raised center console.
The front seats offer a high level of comfort and provide support during spirited cornering without restricting freedom of movement. The seat height, seat cushion and backrest angles and longitudinal position are electrically adjustable. The comfort seats also feature seat squab length adjustment and 4-way lumbar support for the driver and front passenger. The adaptive sport seats (18-way) have raised side bolsters on the seat cushion and backrest. Electrically adjustable, they offer perfect lateral support when cornering.
Typically Porsche driver-orientated to match the Porsche Driver Experience: The digital instrument cluster with a 12.6-inch curved display places the displays clearly in the field of vision. Various display formats can be selected: typical round instruments, map section in the central round instrument, full area navigation map, reduced view and the optional view with Night Vision Assist in the center.
Smart infotainment: The App Center brings a wide range of apps straight to your Porsche. If desired, you can control it via the AI Voice Pilot – precisely, using natural language, and tailored to the driver and passengers.
Alerts the driver to vehicles rapidly approaching from behind or vehicles traveling at the same speed in potential blind spots. The warning is emitted by lights in the exterior mirrors. The function is activated by the driver using Porsche Communication Management (PCM) and is available from approximately 10 mph. Below this speed, Turn Assist (rear) also comes to the driver's aid by monitoring the area to the rear of the vehicle in turning situations.
High-quality, full-color projection of relevant driving information in the driver's field of vision. The projection allows the information to appear in front of the vehicle. The display position can be adjusted for the driver's height and seat position.
The driver is less distracted and can pay more attention to the road. For example, information on the driving speed and navigation is displayed. In addition, depending on the vehicle specification, traffic signs, hazard warnings and Sport Chrono information is displayed. The displayed content can be individually adjusted.
Remote-controlled parking allows entering and leaving a parking space via your smartphone. The system automatically detects parking spaces and measures their size. If the parking space is a suitable size, the driver can initiate the parking maneuvers and then get out. At the end of the parking maneuver, the vehicle is automatically switched off and locked. With remote-controlled parking the vehicle can be parked in parallel and perpendicular parking spaces as well as in garages.
Porsche InnoDrive offers optimum regulation of driving speed based on navigation data and radar and video sensor technology to deliver greater comfort, increased fuel efficiency and the customary Porsche driving feel. Driving speed is predictively adapted to speed restrictions and road topography (gradients, corners). At the same time, Porsche InnoDrive controls acceleration, deceleration and gear selection. The system's predictive capability of up to 1.8 miles and real-time optimization of driving strategy enable a harmonious and fuel-saving drive.
