The new Porsche Panamera now offers an even wider range of alternatives, combining the performance of a sports car with the comfort of an exclusive car. With the Panamera Turbo S, which has an output of 630 horsepower, the sports car manufacturer fulfills its commitment to offer the best performance in the segment. The top version of the range far exceeds the performance of the previous Panamera Turbo.

In addition, Porsche continues to consistently apply its E-Performance strategy. The Panamera 4S E-Hybrid adds to the range of plug-in hybrids, with a completely new powertrain that develops an output of 560 hp. Compared to the previous hybrid model, the electric range has been increased by up to 30 percent.

Increased sportiness and comfort thanks to optimized chassis systems

Turbo S: from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.1 seconds

With 630 hp and 820 Nm of torque, the new Panamera Turbo S offers 80 hp more power and 50 Nm more torque than the Turbo of the previous generation. This translates into a significant improvement in performance: in Sport Plus mode, acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h is completed in just 3.1 seconds. To reach its top speed of 315 km / h, the wellknown four-liter V8 biturbo engine developed in Weissach and built in Zuffenhausen has been extensively renewed.

In order to transfer the enormous power to the road in a controlled way and maximize cornering performance, the three-chamber air suspension, Porsche Active Suspension Management, and other elements have been optimized and developed specifically for each model. (PASM) and the Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport) roll stabilization system, which includes the Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus). The new Panamera Turbo S has already demonstrated its high performance on the legendary Nürburgring Nordschleife circuit: test driver Lars Kern completed the 20,832 kilometer-long lap of this track, considered one of the most demanding in the world, in 7: 29.81 minutes, setting a new record in the large saloon segment. The V8 biturbo engine in the Panamera GTS has been specifically optimized to improve the way it delivers its power. With 480 horses and 620 Nm, the new Panamera GTS offers 20 more CV than its predecessor. Power is continually increased to near the rev limit and is delivered in a manner similar to that of classic naturally aspirated sports cars. The traditional V8 signature sound is even more pronounced than before, thanks to the new sports exhaust system that comes standard, with the rear silencers positioned asymmetrically. The new Panamera and Panamera 4 are now equipped in all markets with the wellknown 2.9-liter V6 biturbo engine. With its 330 horsepower and 450 Nm of torque, performance remains unchanged. In the new Panamera, the chassis and all the control systems have been fine-tuned both to enhance its sporty character and comfort. Some of them have even been developed from scratch. For example, the revised Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) active suspension system clearly improves damping comfort, while the electronic anti-roll control Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport) ensures greater stability. The model is also equipped with a new generation steering and tires.

4S E-Hybrid with 17.9 kWh battery and an electric range of up to 54 km

With the new Panamera 4S E-Hybrid, Porsche presents another plug-in hybrid model that is even more performance-oriented. The intelligent interaction between the 136-horsepower electric motor, integrated in the PDK eight-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and the 440-hp 2.9-liter V6 biturbo engine, results in a system output of 560 hp and torque maximum 750 Nm.

The performance is impressive: in combination with the standard Sport Chrono pack, acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h is completed in 3.7 seconds. The maximum speed is 298 km / h. The gross battery capacity has been increased from 14.1 to 17.9 kWh compared to the previous hybrid model, using cells and driving modes optimized for even more efficient energy use.

The Panamera 4S E-Hybrid now has an electric range of up to 54 km according to the WLTP EAER City homologation (NEDC: up to 64 km).

Digital connectivity and assistance systems for safety and comfort

Porsche Communication Management (PCM) incorporates digital functions and additional Connect services, such as Voice Pilot online voice control, the radar hazard indicator for the updated warning signal and hazard information system, wireless Apple CarPlay and some others.

The Panamera also offers a wide range of innovative light and assistance systems, such as Lane Keeping Assist with Signal Recognition (now standard), Porsche InnoDrive with adaptive cruise control, Night Vision Assist, Assist change lane, matrix LED headlights including adaptive PDLS Plus function, peripheral vision parking aid and head-up display.
