Porsche South London: The Panamera

THE PANAMERA

Explore the vision that inspired the Panamera. A sports car for four with impressive performance and comfort.

Whether Panamera Sports Saloon or Panamera Sport Turismo – the silhouette and proportions are unmistakably Porsche. Athletic, streamlined, with clear contours and powerful curves. The long wheelbase, shorter overhang at the front and longer overhang at the rear creates visual dynamism. The prominent sculpting of the profile provides the customary Porsche waistline and sense of lightness. UNDERLYING POWER The chassis of the Panamera models performs a balancing act between sport and comfort effortlessly, and more impressively than before. The chassis systems have been completely redesigned and, together with the even more precisely adjusted steering and the new generation of tyres, now offer more of both. More performance, but above all more comfort – especially on more demanding roads. GRIPPING SUSPENSION In Sport mode alone, the Panamera delivers increased dynamics and more direct handling. While in Sport Plus mode, the engine becomes even more responsive. Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport) are retuned for harder damping and more direct turn-in. The adaptive air suspension drops to Low Level and firms the spring rate. The rear-axle steering acts to provide even greater agility. Another function included in the package is Launch Control – for optimum acceleration from a standing start.

COMFORT The front seats offer a high level of comfort and provide support while cornering without restricting freedom of movement. The seat height, squab and backrest angles and fore/aft position are electrically adjustable. The power seats (14-way, electric) offer additional squab length adjustment and four-way lumbar support for driver and front passenger. The memory function stores settings for seats, steering column, both exterior mirrors and other personalised in-car settings. The adaptive Sports seats (18-way, electric) offer even better lateral support – thanks to raised side bolsters on the squab and backrest. Electrically adjustable, they offer comfort on long journeys and made-to-measure lateral support in corners. ROOM FOR MOVEMENT The luggage compartment of the Panamera models offer you a volume of up to 495 litres depending on the model (E-Hybrid models up to 403 litres) and up to 515 litres in the Panamera Sport Turismo models. The large, automatic tailgate with individually adjustable opening height is standard in all models. It opens and closes conveniently at the push of a button. Perfect for a smooth, effortless exit after 18 holes.
