Concept The Panamera models. Four doors. Four seats. Sportscar technology
for four. Comfort and everyday practicality without compromise.
Efficient drive concepts, a lightweight body and highly dynamic. This
is the principle of Porsche Intelligent Performance.
We have absolutely no experience when it comes to building large, heavy saloons.
How fortunate.
The Panamera model range.
What can a car manufacturer
with such a small market share
worldwide have to say about
luxury saloons? Good question.
It’s true that life sometimes
has to be taken very seriously,
but not necessarily everywhere
and all of the time. It’s good to
lighten up and relax a little. Look
at things in an original way. Think
differently.
Not everyone who achieves
success should feel bound by
convention. A few reject the
norms and constraints of society
and view things from a new
perspective: open, surprising,
agile and inquisitive.
Consequently, a refreshing
change is happening within the
automotive luxury and premium
classes. Suddenly, luxury is
losing its association with portli-
ness and the premium class is no
longer home to narrow thinking.
Luxury needn’t mean cumber-
some – it can mean dynamic
instead. This is our definition of
luxury. Let’s call it ‘dynamic
luxury’ – because sportiness is
more important to us than
anything else. It’s about a car
that you would want to drive, as
well as be driven in. That’s why
we’ve developed the Panamera
model range. It’s that simple.
And that’s actually nothing new
for Porsche.
It’s not about coupés, nor is it
even about saloons. After all, in
the sporty luxury saloon and
coupé segments, driving, as we
understand it, now seems to
mean something else.
Perhaps it’s a slight exaggera-
tion, but let’s simply call it func-
tional mobility. Getting from
A to B, where A and B seem to
be more important than the road
in between. Some believe that
the sound of the road is nothing
to savour and that soft seats
are as essential as ride comfort.

It’s an attitude that we don’t
understand. Nor would we want
to. It’s our firm belief that the
road has its own tales to tell –
tales of twisting bends, of
weather, and of a passion for
driving.
For us (and you?), it’s not just
about mobility. It’s about jour-
neys that are an experience
in themselves. It’s about time to
oneself. It’s about ease of per-
formance and a relationship with
the road.
We believe it’s about the pure
driving experience. And it has to
be so, regardless of whether
you sit in the front or the back.
It’s about four doors and four
seats in a Porsche. Sportscar
technology for four.

Just a second, you may be think-
ing, sports saloons already exist.
Exactly what is so new about all
this? What is required when sporty
luxury alone is not enough? Well,
how about a Porsche with four
doors and four seats in the pre-
mium class – a Gran Turismo with
sportscar technology.
The new 3.6-litre V6 engine is
naturally aspirated and produces
300 hp. The 4.8-litre V8 engines,
either naturally aspirated or twin-
turbocharged, generate 400 hp
and 500 hp respectively. All
engines feature VarioCam Plus
(p. 52) and direct fuel injection
(DFI, p. 51) for efficient com-
bustion, a distinct rise in power
and torque, and comparatively
low fuel consumption for this
class of engine.
A breath of fresh air in the premium class:
sportscar technology.
Engineering.
Fuel economy is also boosted
by an Auto Start/Stop function,
only in conjunction with Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK). If, for
example, you stop at traffic lights
with your foot on the brake pedal,
the system will automatically
stop the engine. The engine
restarts as soon as you release
the brakes or move the steering
wheel, for example.
An optional sports exhaust system
is available for the Panamera S
models and the Panamera Turbo.
Activated by a separate button, it
produces an even more authentic
sportscar sound.
As you would expect from a
sportscar, power is transmitted
quickly and precisely. In the new
Panamera and the Panamera S,
power is delivered to the rear axle
by a 6-speed manual transmis-
sion. In the new Panamera 4, the
Panamera 4S and the Panamera
Turbo, all of which feature the
7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK, p. 55) as standard, drive
force is distributed between the
front and rear axles by the active
all-wheel drive of Porsche Traction
Management (PTM, p. 60) with an
electronic and mapcontrolled mul-
tiplate clutch for optimum traction
and driving stability.
PDK is based on a development
that helped Porsche racing cars in
the 1980s to cause a sensation
on racetracks around the world.
Gear changes take place within
hundredths of a second and
with no interruption in the flow of
power – for sporty acceleration
with a high level of comfort and a
low rate of fuel consumption.
Also new to the premium class
are the optional Sport Chrono
Packages (p. 74). These further
enhance the driving dynamics of
the Panamera models at the push
of a button. Two special functions
are available in conjunction with
PDK: Launch Control for optimum
acceleration from a standing
start and, in the Panamera Turbo,
the ‘overboost’ function. This
feature increases boost pressure

temporarily and consequently the
engine’s maximum torque: instead
of 700 Nm, a torque figure of up
to 770 Nm is achieved.

Porsche Active Suspension Man-
agement (PASM, p. 66) comes
as standard on the Panamera S,
4S and Turbo, and is available as
an option for the new Panamera
and Panamera 4 models. This
system actively and continuously
regulates the damping force for
each wheel according to the road
conditions and driving style. Any
one of three suspension settings
can be selected. The Panamera
Turbo additionally features adap-
tive air suspension (p. 68) as
standard, for increased comfort
or a sportier ride – in simple
terms, it’s a sports chassis at the
push of a button.
Available as an option for all
Panamera models is Porsche
Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC)
with Porsche Torque Vectoring
Plus (PTV Plus). This active anti-
roll system reduces the lateral
tilt of the vehicle when cornering
and thereby improves agility and
safety. Combined with PDCC,
PTV Plus offers increased traction
and driving dynamics (p. 70).
The Porsche Ceramic Composite
Brake (PCCB, p. 86) can be fitted
on request. On the Panamera,
Panamera 4, Panamera S and
Panamera 4S models, the
grooved ceramic brake discs have
a diameter of 390 mm at the
front and 350 mm at the rear
(only in conjunction with 19-inch
wheels or larger). For more
powerful braking, the discs on the
Panamera Turbo are 410 mm at
the front and 350 mm at the rear
(only compatible with 20-inch
wheels). This advanced braking
system offers high-performance
braking at all times.
All Panamera models are con-
structed using lightweight hybrid
materials. The axles, bonnet,
front wings, doors and rear lid, for
example, are made from alumin-
ium and the window frames and
cylinder head cover are made from
magnesium, all of which reduces
weight and therefore fuel con-
sumption.
A steering system with variable
steering ratio is fitted as standard.
Servotronic (p. 64), a speed-sen-
si tive power-steering system, is
available as an option.

Adaptive cruise controlPorsche Communication Management (PCM) with navigation module
Cruise control comes as standard
in all models, while adaptive cruise
control is available as an option
(p. 122). In order to maintain a
safe distance from the vehicle in
front, adaptive cruise control reg-
ulates the speed of your vehicle
in line with the distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle ahead,
even down to a complete stop,
thereby relieving the strain on the
driver during long journeys.
Cutting edge technology is also
featured in the Porsche Communi-
cation Management System (PCM,
p. 108), which is fitted as stand-
ard in the Panamera Turbo and
available as an option for all other
models. It includes a navigation
module with high-speed hard drive,
high-resolution 7-inch touchscreen,
optional voice control system with
word-by-word input, and a CD/
DVD-audio drive.
The sound of a Porsche is unique.
The audio system must therefore
meet the highest standards.
The CDR-31 audio system with
7-inch colour touchscreen (stand-
ard in the Panamera, Panamera 4,
Panamera S and 4S models) and
the optional BOSE®Surround
Sound System (standard in the
Panamera Turbo, p. 114) both
offer excellent sound quality. Avail-
able as an option for all models
is the High-End Surround Sound
System from Burmester®(p. 116),
one of the most respected pre-
mium audio manufacturers world-
wide.
Comfort and sportscar technol-
ogy side by side. Surprising for
many, perhaps. For you, it’s sim-
ply Porsche.

Concept | The Panamera model range
As you can see, we didn’t experi-
ment with the car’s design. We
stuck with our philosophy that form
should follow function. Nothing
else would have made sense.
Nothing else would have produced
a four-seater Porsche.
But how can you tell whether it
has the Porsche DNA? From the
distinctive proportions and lines
on all models. The wings are
slightly higher than the bonnet
and, at the rear, they are distinctly
muscular and form the typical
Porsche shoulder line. The silhou-
ette of the Panamera models is
therefore typically Porsche. It is
dynamic without being overbear-
ing, and exudes elegance rather
than extravagance. In its class,
the total length of less than five
metres is to its advantage. The
front, shoulders, and rear all have
instantly recognisable Porsche
traits. Particularly striking are the
side air outlets behind the front
wheels – paying homage to
the Carrera GT. The result is a
timeless exterior, a spacious
interior and excellent aerody-
namics: the Panamera S models
have a drag coefficient of 0.29,
the Panamera models and the
Panamera Turbo 0.30.
A low, wide stance. A sleek roof-
line. The overall impression leaves
you in no doubt that these are true
sportscar proportions. Typically
Porsche. And yet, when you get
in, you’ll wonder how there can
possibly be so much room. We’ll
come to that on the pages that
follow.
Unmistakably Porsche and yet
characteristically Panamera is
the headlight design (p. 80). The
headlights on the Panamera Turbo
are supplemented by the Porsche
Dynamic Light System (PDLS)
(p. 83).
Position lights and daytime run-
ning lights with LED technology
on all Panamera models add a
special touch.
The wheels are of classic sports-
car design: fine-spoked, light-
weight, and stylish. Sizes range
from 18 inches to an optional
20 inches, and all the wheels pro-
vide a good glimpse of the brake
system. Just another example
of sporty styling.
If you loved the road,
you wouldn’t dream of tarnishing it.

The rear lid with large glass screen
opens to a wide angle. This makes
loading easier and im proves
access to luggage when the vehi-
cle is laden. An automatic rear
lid with customisable opening
angle is available as an option
(p. 131).
The most striking aspect of the
rear is undoubtedly the spoiler
which is integrated into the
rear lid. From a speed of around
55 mph (90 km/h), it deploys
automatically, as you may already
have suspected. However, on the
Panamera Turbo, it doesn’t stop
there. The spoiler splits in the
middle and extensions deploy to
the left and right, making it con-
siderably wider to further reduce
lift at the rear axle. And from
127 mph (205 km/h), the spoiler
on all models adjusts to increase
its steepness to produce even
more traction and, as a result,
increased driving stability at high
speeds.
The appearance of any Panamera
model can be customised to your
individual taste. The colour palette
offers no fewer than 17 exterior
colours. In total, there are two
solid, ten metallic and five special
colours to choose from. On re-
quest, you can opt to have your
Panamera model finished in practi-
cally any colour of your choice.
In addition, a wide range of per-
sonalisation options is available.
For more information, please refer
to page 132 onwards.
So you see, whichever way you
look at it, it looks like a Porsche.
And, most importantly, it feels like
one too.
Whatever kind of journey you
are making – short or long, for
business or pleasure, or even just
routine driving – the Panamera
offers something a little bit dif-
ferent.
When you sit inside one of the
Panamera models, four things
immediately stand out: first, the
elevated centre console; second,
the four individual seats; third,
the amount of space in the rear
where even taller passengers will
find plenty of leg and head room;
and fourth, the versatility of the
luggage compartment thanks to
the folding rear seats.
The ignition lock is, of course,
located on the left-hand side
of the steering wheel, as in all
Porsche vehicles. The instrument
cluster incorporating the central
rev counter is clear and quick
to read.
The four individual seats (p. 104)
are comfortable and offer good
lateral support. In conjunction
with seat heating, a seat ventila-
tion function is also available as
an option. The electrically adjust-
able 8-way power seats in the
rear (p. 106) are another special
feature available on request.
Why four individual seats?
Because only these satisfy our
requirement for high-perform-
ance driving and a high level of
seating comfort. Conventional
rear bench seats can not fulfil
this requirement and instead
made way for a centre console.
We’ve been playing with the concept of a saloon.

If you regularly spend time in the
rear, you can customise it with
a range of optional equipment
and packages, such as the large
centre console, the roll-up sun-
blinds for the rear side windows
and behind the rear compart-
ment, or the rear interior lighting
package.
The preserve of the premium
class: the comprehensive range
of personalisation options,
with seven interior colours and
five two-tone combinations and
a range of optional packages
featuring fine woods, carbon or
aluminium.
If you suspected that the
Panamera is more than just a
sportscar with four seats, this is
confirmed by a glance inside the
luggage compartment (p. 126).
Under the large rear lid, there is
space to accommodate four
suitcases from the Porsche
Design Driver’s Selection. Enough
room, then, for a journey with
four occupants. Practicality, but
the Porsche way.

combinations of technological
options, colours and materials
for the interior, please see page

So, you have duties to perform,
but who says that you cannot
follow your heart and combine
practicality with pleasure at the
same time? No, for us, there is
no conflict here, but a principle:
efficiency. It's not about maxi-

mum engine power, but intelligent
overall performance. That makes
practical sense, and pleasure, too.
The distinguishing features of
the Panamera and Panamera 4
are the 18-inch Panamera wheels,
black brake calipers and twin
single-tube tailpipes. The side
windows have matt black borders.
Characteristic of the new
Panamera are the black double
slats on the side air intakes in
the front apron and a rear apron
diffuser with black-grained finish.
The new Panamera 4 is identifiable
by the titanium-coloured double
slats and a rear apron diffuser
with fins.
In terms of performance, the
Panamera and Panamera 4 are
equipped with the new 3.6-litre
naturally aspirated V6 engine.
Efficient and sporty, thanks to
direct fuel injection (DFI, p. 51)
and VarioCam Plus (p. 52) fitted
as standard, it generates 220 kW
(300 hp) and 400 Nm of torque.
On the new Panamera, power is
transmitted to the rear axle by a
6-speed manual gearbox. The
7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK, p. 55) with Auto Start/Stop
function (p. 50) is available as
an option. This double-clutch
transmission enables fast gear
changes with no interruption in
the flow of power, for increased
performance and greater comfort
but low fuel consumption.

On the new Panamera 4, drive
force is transmitted to the road
by the active all-wheel drive of
Porsche Traction Management
(PTM, p. 60) and by the 7-speed
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
with Auto Start/Stop function, both
of which are fitted as standard.
The steel spring suspension is
standard on both models, offering
a high level of comfort despite
its sporty setup. Porsche Active
Suspension Management (PASM,
p. 66) or adaptive air suspension
with PASM are available on
request.
Also standard is Porsche Stability
Management (PSM, p. 72), which
maintains stability even at the
limits of dynamic driving perform-
ance, delivering better traction
and increased safety.
And yet the gross weight of these
models is as low as 1,730 kg. Driv-
ing pleasure is simply inevitable.
The figures speak for themselves:
the new Panamera accelerates
from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in
6.8 seconds, with a top speed
of 162 mph (261 km/h). With the
optional Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK), these figures are an even
more impressive 6.3 seconds
and 161 mph (259 km/h). The
Panamera 4 completes the 0 to
62 mph (100 km/h) sprint in
just 6.1 seconds and has a top
speed of 159 mph (257 km/h).
Both models are equipped with
halogen headlights as standard.
Bi-Xenon headlights are available
as an option.
The interior offers plenty of
comfort and lots of space. The
two individual seats in the rear
compartment fold separately
or jointly, increasing luggage
capacity to 1,263 litres. Auto-
matic climate control is standard.
Three interior colours are avail-
able for the partial leather interior.
The seat surfaces, inner backrest
surfaces and side bolsters,
door handles, door armrests and
armrest section of the centre
console are finished in embossed
leather, while the gear lever or
selector and steering wheel rim
are in smooth-finish leather.
The three-spoke sports steering
wheel, black dial faces and inte-
rior trims in high-gloss black add
to the interior’s visual appeal.
The CDR-31 audio system with
7-inch colour touchscreen (p. 108)
is fitted as standard. Porsche
C o m m u n i c a t i o n Management (PCM,
p. 108) with navigation module is
available as an option. Both units
are compatible with the BOSE®
Surround Sound System (p. 114) or
the Burmester®High-End Surround
Sound System (p. 116).
The new Panamera and Panamera 4
models offer the best of both
worlds: performance and practi-
cality. They are comfortable, luxu-
rious, fit for long journeys, and
every bit a Porsche.

a chrome-coloured border. In the
interior, the silver-coloured rev
counter dial is visually striking.
On the Panamera S, the double
slats on the side air intakes are
black. On the Panamera 4S, they
are titanium-coloured.
Both models have a 4.8-litre
naturally aspirated V8 engine
that produces 294 kW (400 hp)
and 500 Nm of torque. On the
Panamera S, power is transmitted
to the rear wheels by the standard
6-speed manual gearbox. The
7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung
(PDK) is available as an option. On
the Panamera 4S, PDK is standard
and transmits drive force to the
all-wheel drive of Porsche Trac-
tion Management (PTM, p. 60) –
also fitted as standard.
The Panamera S accelerates from
0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in just
5.6 seconds, with a top speed of
177 mph (285 km/h). With the
optional PDK, figures of 5.4 sec-
onds and 176 mph (283 km/h)
are achieved. The Panamera 4S
completes the sprint in only
5.0 seconds and has a top speed
of 175 mph (282 km/h).
Steel spring suspension with
Porsche Active Suspension Man-
agement (PASM, p. 66) is fitted as
standard in both models. Adaptive
air suspension, 20-inch wheels
and a sports exhaust system are
just three of many options you can
select to personalise your vehicle.
Safety features include Bi-Xenon
headlights with dynamic range
adjustment (p. 80), which provide
more effective illumination of
the road and are fitted as stand-
ard on both models. Also standard
is Tyre Pressure Monitoring (TPM,
p. 65) and the automatically
dimming mirrors.
A high level of interior comfort is
assured by the automatic climate
control system and the heated
seats fitted as standard in the
front, with seat heating optional
for the rear. Seat ventilation is
available on request. The partial
leather interior has the same
specification as for the Panamera/
Panamera 4.
Standard in the Panamera S and
Panamera 4S is the CDR-31 audio
system with 7-inch colour touch-
screen. Porsche Communication
Management (PCM) with navi-
gation module is available as an
option. Either unit can be com-
bined with the optional BOSE®
Surround Sound System (p. 114)
or Burmester®High-End Surround
Sound System (p. 116).
These options are only the
beginning when it comes to cus-
tomising the Panamera S or 4S.

combined with a host of features
that are exclusive to a Turbo.
What about the aesthetics?
19-inch Panamera Turbo wheels
and red brake calipers, naturally.
Twin dual-tube tailpipes in the
unmistakable Turbo design. Four
LED daytime running lights in
each headlight unit with separate
direction indicators. The front
apron features horizontal slats
and longitudinal struts in the air
intakes. The air outlets in the wing
behind the front wheels also
have slats. Five, to be exact,
and all in a chrome finish. The
auto-deploying two-piece rear
spoiler is typically characteristic.
The Panamera Turbo is powered
by a 4.8-litre V8 twin-turbo engine
that generates an output of
368 kW (500 hp) and 700 Nm.
The seven-speed Porsche Doppel-
kupplung (PDK, p. 55) is fitted
as standard, as is Porsche Traction
Management (PTM, p. 60) with
active all-wheel drive and an elec-
tronic and mapcontrolled multi-

Performance is exemplary. The
Panamera Turbo races from 0 to
62 mph (100 km/h) in just 4.2 sec-
onds and has a top speed of
188 mph (303 km/h).
Also fitted as standard in the
Panamera Turbo is adaptive air
suspension including Porsche

(PASM) with three damping, sus-
pension and ride-height settings
ranging from comfort to extra
sporty (p. 66–69). Increased
performance or greater comfort?
The choice is yours. Simply press

And what about the interior?
Typically Porsche with all the
usual Turbo features. A perfect
combination of sportiness and
comfort. As standard equipment,
the interior features electrically
adjustable 14-way power seats
with memory package in the front
(p. 104), with seat heating front
and rear. Also standard are the
smooth-finish leather and walnut
interior packages. Alternatively,
the anthracite birch, tineo or
brushed aluminium interior
packages are available at no
extra cost.
Moreover, the Porsche Commu-
nication Management (PCM)
with navigation module – standard
in the Panamera Turbo – has
been combined with the BOSE®
Surround Sound System (p. 114).
The Burmester®High-End

For saloon drivers, it seems,
the interior is no place for engine
noise. But how important is the
engine to you? We thought so. Just
as important as it is to us. This is
why we – like you – are perfectly
happy with that seductive sound.
We – like you – want to hear that
the Panamera models are unmis-
takably Porsche.
When it comes to the environment,
the facts speak for themselves.
Engines with high efficiency and
low fuel consumption. High power
output with comparatively low CO2
emissions per hp.
Low on weight, too. The light-alloy
engines have cast aluminium pis-
tons (Panamera and Panamera S
models) or forged pistons
(Panamera Turbo), aluminium
one-piece cylinder heads and an
aluminium crankcase of closed-
deck construction. The casing
and cooling ducts around the
cylinders form a closed system.
The engines are therefore light-
weight for reduced fuel con-
sumption and have a long service
life.
The V6 engine, which is based on
the V8 engine, additionally fea-
tures a balance shaft to minimise
vibrations and ensure smooth
running.
An integrated dry-sump lubrication
system guarantees a reliable sup-
ply of oil in all driving situations.
Instead of an external oil tank, the
oil reservoir is located directly
inside the engine, which saves on
space and weight.

The electronic engine management
system ensures optimum engine
performance at all times. In par-

ticular, it evaluates the signals of
the electronic accelerator pedal
(E-Gas) – a prerequisite for Porsche
Stability Management (PSM, p. 72),
which is fitted as standard. More-
over, it regulates all engine-related
functions and assemblies. The
results: optimum performance
and torque with reduced fuel
consumption and emissions,
whatever your driving style.
Another important function is the
cylinder-specific knock control,
which compensates for different
fuel grades added to the engine.
Since cylinders never all work
under exactly the same conditions,
the ignition point is shifted indi-
vidually, as and when necessary.
The on-board diagnostics ensure
timely detection of any faults and
defects that may occur in the
exhaust and fuel systems and
notify the driver immediately. This
also prevents increased pollutant
emissions and unnecessary fuel
consumption.

V6 engine
Panamera and Panamera 4: 220 kW (300 hp) at 6,200 rpm, 400 Nm at 3,750 rpm
New V6 engine.
The new Panamera and Panamera 4
models are equipped with an
efficient and lightweight 3.6-litre
naturally aspirated V6 engine
based on the V8 power unit. A
balance shaft reduces vibration
to ensure very smooth operation.
Direct fuel injection (DFI) and
VarioCam Plus are featured as
standard. The engine delivers
220 kW (300 hp) at 6,200 rpm.
Maximum torque of 400 Nm is
achieved at 3,750 rpm.
This impressive power output
enables the rear-wheel-drive
Panamera with manual gearbox
to accelerate from 0 to 62 mph
(100 km/h) in only 6.8 seconds,
with a top speed of 162 mph
(261 km/h). With the optional
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK),
these figures are an even more
impressive 6.3 seconds and
161 mph (259 km/h). Thanks to
PDK and the active all-wheel drive
of Porsche Traction Management
(PTM), the Panamera 4 completes
the sprint in 6.1 seconds and
has a top speed of 159 mph
(257 km/h).
