The Panamera is powered by a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 engine with power output of 260 kW (348 hp) and torque of 368 lb-ft.
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).
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.
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.
The side air outlets in the front fenders ensure efficient ventilation of the front wheel arches and improve aerodynamics.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
In addition to the reversing camera, features a 360-degree surround view generated from the images of four high-resolution cameras enabling even greater comfort when maneuvering. A junction view (from front and rear of vehicle) provides assistance at more complex exits. Images are displayed on the screen of the Porsche Communication Management (PCM).
Alerts the driver to vehicles rapidly approaching from behind or vehicles travelling 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.
Infrared thermal image displayed in the instrument cluster. Provides the driver with information beyond the range of the headlights. Detected pedestrians, deer, and other large wildlife are highlighted in yellow. Pedestrians within critical range are highlighted in red, and the driver receives an audio/visual warning.
