Porsche Panamera
Performance
The Panamera and Panamera 4 models are equipped with an efficient and lightweight 3.6-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine based on the V8 power unit. A balance shaft reduces vibration to ensure very smooth operation. Direct fuel injection (DFI), VarioCam Plus and integral dry-sump lubrication are standard features. The engine delivers 300 hp at 6,200 rpm. Maximum torque of 295 lb.-ft. is achieved at 3,750 rpm.
This impressive power output enables the rear-wheel drive Panamera to accelerate from 0-60 mph in only 6.0 seconds, with a top track speed of 160 mph. Thanks to PDK and the active all-wheel drive of Porsche Traction Management (PTM), the Panamera 4 completes the sprint in 5.8 seconds and has a top track speed of 159 mph.
Panamera/Panamera 4: Fuel consumption in (l/100 km) urban 16.4?12.7 · extra urban 7.8?6.9 · combined 11.3?9.3 · CO2 emissions 265?218 g/km
Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)
The seven-speed PDK ? fitted as standard in all Panamera models ? has both a manual gearshift and an automatic mode and enables smooth gear changes with no interruption in the flow of power. Gears 1 to 6 have a sport ratio and top speed is reached in 6th gear. The 7th gear has a long ratio, which reduces fuel consumption even further and keeps engine revs comfortably low even at high road speeds.
PDK is essentially two gearboxes in one and this requires two clutches. This double clutch provides an alternating, non-positive connection between the two half gearboxes and the engine by means of two separate input shafts (input shaft 1 is nested inside the hollowed-out input shaft 2).
The flow of power from the engine is transmitted through one half gearbox and one clutch at a time, while the next gear is pre-selected in the other half gearbox. During a gear change, therefore, a complete shift no longer takes place. Instead, one clutch simply opens and the other closes at the same time. Gear changes can therefore take place within a few hundredths of a second.
PDK has distinct benefits, including a high level of driving comfort and very rapid gearshifts for faster acceleration. Driving feels even sportier and more dynamic, and agility is increased. Depending on the gearshift program (SPORT button activated or deactivated), the gear change is optimized for comfort or for sporty driving. Its high level of efficiency, combined with the long-ratioed 7th gear, helps to achieve reduced fuel consumption and emissions figures, even when compared with a standard manual gearbox.
In conjunction with the optional Sport Chrono Package Plus or the Sport Chrono Package Turbo, PDK is enhanced by a Launch Control function which offers a sportier acceleration and gearshift strategy in automatic mode and extremely smooth gear changes in manual mode.
PDK offers sportiness with efficiency and comfort.
Auto Start/Stop Function
Silence: the typical stationary noise. If, for example, you stop at traffic lights with your foot on the brake pedal, the Auto start/stop function will automatically stop the engine. This fuel saving system restarts the engine as soon as you release the brakes.
A key advantage is that there is no need for you to change your driving habits. You can simply carry on as normal. All audio and communication systems remain switched on and the climate control continues to maintain your selected temperature, despite the engine being switched off. The engine restarts if more power or extra cooling output is required.
On all models, except the Panamera S Hybrid, the Auto start/stop function can be activated and deactivated using a separate button. The function may remain inactive under particular circumstances, e.g. very high outside temperatures, on extreme uphill gradients, or if battery charge is low.
Character
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 maximum 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 matte black borders.
The double slats on the side air intakes are black on the Panamera and titanium colored on the Panamera 4.
In terms of performance, the Panamera and Panamera 4 are equipped with the 3.6-liter naturally aspirated V6 engine. Efficient and sporty, thanks to direct fuel injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus fitted as standard, it generates 300 hp and 295 lb.-ft. of torque.
On the Panamera, power is transmitted to the rear axle by a 6-speed manual gearbox. The 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) with Auto start/stop function 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 lower fuel consumption.
On the Panamera 4, drive force is transmitted to the road by the active all-wheel drive of Porsche Traction Management (PTM) 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 combined with a sporty setup. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) or adaptive air suspension with PASM are available on request.
Also standard is Porsche Stability Management (PSM) which maintains stability even at the limits of dynamic driving performance, delivering better traction and increased safety.
The gross weight of these models is as low as 3,814 pounds. Driving pleasure is simply inevitable.
The figures speak for themselves: the Panamera accelerates from 0-60 mph in 6.1 seconds, with a top track speed of 160 mph. The Panamera 4 completes the 0-60 mph sprint in 5.8 seconds and has a top track speed of 159 mph.
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. Automatic climate control is standard. Three interior colors are available for the partial leather interior. The seat surfaces, inner backrest surfaces and side bolsters, door handles, door armrests and armrest section of the center console are finished in embossed leather, while the gear lever or selector and steering wheel rim are in smooth-finish leather.
The sport steering wheel, black dial faces and interior trims in high-gloss black add to the interior's visual appeal.
Fitted as standard is the CDR-31 audio system with 7-inch color touchscreen. Porsche Communication Management (PCM) with navigation module is available as an option. Both units are compatible with the BOSE® Surround Sound System or the Burmester® High-End Surround Sound System.
The Panamera and Panamera 4 offer the best of both worlds: performance and practicality. They are comfortable, luxurious, fit for long journeys, and every bit a Porsche.
