2017 Porsche Panamera Performance

Twin-Turbo Engines

A Porsche has always impressed with more than just power; its efficiency is equally important. To make the new Panamera even more efficient than the previous model, the second generation Panamera has all new engines. They have been made more powerful, while significantly improving fuel economy and reducing emissions. Two new twin-turbo direct injection engines are being introduced at the market launch in the Panamera Turbo and the Panamera 4S. All models are equipped with a permanent, fully variable all-wheel drive system and a new eight-speed Porsche dual-clutch transmission (PDK). A 4.0-liter V8 gasoline engine that delivers 550 hp propels the Panamera Turbo while a V6 gasoline engine with a displacement of 2.9 liters and an output of 440 hp drives the Panamera 4S.

Top of the Line Performance in a Tailored Suit

In keeping with the overall concept of increasing usability while improving performance, there are numerous changes to the suspension system in the second generation Panamera. First, a new electromechanical steering system for the front wheels, and rear-axle steering for the rear wheels simultaneously improves high-speed stability and slow-speed maneuverability. Ride-height adjustable adaptive air suspension is available with a new three-chamber technology, including electronic damper control (Porsche Active Suspension Management PASM). Also available is an enhanced electromechanical Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport) system including Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus). The integrated 4D Chassis Control system analyzes the driving conditions in real time and enables optimized and coordinated use of all systems together for even better handling in the new Panamera. Furthermore, the brakes are even more powerful than before to bring the braking power in line with the increased performance.

V6 Engine with Variable Timing of the Intake Valves

In part-load operation, the combustion process of the V6 engines is characterized by a shorter compression phase with a higher compression ratio. In combination with a normal expansion phase (but longer in duration than compression phase), this results in clear efficiency and fuel consumption advantages. The following applies: the shorter the intake opening time, the higher the compression ratio and the efficiency gain. However, the shorter opening time reduces the fill of the combustion chamber. This is why the valve timing and compression have a variable design: the intake valve control switches to longer intake timing as soon as the driver requests more power. This ensures that the engine delivers the maximum power with optimal efficiency in the full load range as well.

2017 Porsche Panamera Appearance

The Design of the New Panamera Forges a Link to the Porsche 911

Despite the slight increase in height and the exceptionally spacious interior, the new Panamera appears lower and longer. This is primarily due to the 20 mm reduction in height above the rear of the passenger compartment while maintaining substantial headroom. This changes the car's image completely. The wheelbase has been increased by 30 mm to 2,950 mm (116.14 inches); this too lengthens the car's proportions. The front wheels were shifted further forward (12 mm), reducing the front overhang and making the distance between the A-pillar and the front axle – even larger. The rear overhang is longer, giving the car a more powerful appearance.

High-Strength Lightweight Aluminum/Steel Hybrid Construction

The new Panamera has a redesigned high-tech lightweight body with even more aluminum than before. On the predecessor, the outer-door panels, hood, hatch, and front fenders were made of aluminum. With the new Panamera, Porsche is now going much further and also producing large body parts such as the whole side section and the roof in aluminum.The Panamera body is based on the Modular Standard Drive Train Platform (MSB), which Porsche is responsible for developing in the Volkswagen Group. One of the many advantages of the MSB is its great versatility. For example, Porsche is able to produce the new Panamera at its Leipzig plant with two different wheelbases and all conceivable drive types for this segment.

2017 Porsche Panamera Comfort

Porsche Advanced Cockpit

The new Panamera exhibits a completely new display and control concept. Touch-sensitive surfaces replace buttons in many areas, and high-resolution displays are integrated into the interior. The digitalization of the Porsche interior, which began with the 918 Spyder, is now in its next development stage and has reached the luxury sedan segment aboard the Panamera in the form of the new Porsche Advanced Cockpit. From the low seat position typical of sports cars, drivers not only see the traditional front-end landscape of the car's fenders and power dome, but also two 7-inch displays that are placed along the driver's line of sight for ideal ergonomics. Each can feature two instruments, and located centrally between these two displays, is the tachometer, which is still an analog instrument in keeping with tradition.

Adaptive Cruise Control

The functional range and properties of the adaptive cruise control have been significantly improved. Crucial here are two important innovations that were used to modify the system of the first generation Panamera: instead of one radar sensor (usually integrated in the middle of the lower fascia), two are used in the new Panamera. They are integrated in the lower bumper on the left and right sides. In addition, the cruise control system now also incorporates camera sensors into its control. This system extension makes monitoring of the distance to vehicles ahead more reliable. In addition, vehicles merging into the car's own lane from adjacent lanes are detected much sooner. If necessary, the system can bring the car to a standstill. Thanks to a stop-and-go function, the Panamera can also resume driving autonomously. If the standstill lasts longer than three seconds, all the driver needs to do to drive off again is to briefly tap the accelerator pedal or resume the function from the steering wheel stalk.

2017 Porsche Panamera Safety

New Car Limited Warranty & Porsche 24-Hour Roadside Assistance Program for 4-Years / 50,000 Miles (whichever occurs first)

Night Vision Assistance

Looking especially far ahead along the road is the new Porsche InnoDrive, which includes adaptive cruise control. Based on navigation data, the system calculates the optimal acceleration and braking figures for the next 1.8 miles (3.0 kilometers) and these figures are implemented via the engine, eight-speed PDK, and the brake system. In doing so, this electronic co-pilot automatically takes corners, hills and speed limits into account. The traffic situation in front of the car is captured by radar and video sensors, and control is adapted accordingly. The system significantly improves the Panamera's efficiency. Currently, there is no comparable technology worldwide.

InnoDrive Including Adaptive Cruise Control

Panamera cars are equipped with LED headlights including four-point LED daytime running lights as standard. LED headlights, including the Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS), are standard in the Panamera Turbo, and available on the Panamera 4S. Optionally, the newly developed LED Matrix headlights with PDLS Plus can be ordered as optional equipment. This is a system with which Porsche transfers the maximum potential of today's lighting technology into the Panamera. The LED Matrix headlights contain a total of 109 LEDs for all lighting functions. The LED Matrix module alone comprises 84 LEDs (pixels).

Lane Keep Assist

The Lane Keep Assist system being offered for the first time in the Panamera reduces the risk of unintentionally leaving one's own driving lane. The system now being implemented in the Panamera is one of the most advanced of its kind. It detects lane markings via a camera in the windshield and operates over a driving speed range from 40 to 155 mph. As soon as the driver leaves the lane without activating the turn signal, the car automatically steers via the new electromechanical steering system. If desired, the driver can also configure the PCM to output an audible warning and a visual warning in the instrument cluster. One component of the system is road sign recognition. It utilizes the same camera as the lane keep assist.
