The new Panamera now reconciles two contrasting characteristics more than ever before: the performance of a genuine sports car and the comfort of a luxury saloon. In its second generation, Porsche’s Gran Turismo has been redefined and realigned, advancing to become a performance icon of the luxury class. compensation and three-chamber air suspension.

New engines in detail: more power, better fuel efficiency

The new, powerful and fuel-efficient Panamera turbo engines all share a special conceptual design characteristic: turbochargers integrated centrally into the V of the cylinder banks. This central turbo layout yields numerous benefits including compactness and a lower mounting position which results in a positive effect on the vehicle’s centre of gravity. The short paths between the two turbochargers and the combustion chambers enable the production of spontaneous throttle response. Engine performance can be further increased using the optional Mode Switch with the Sport Response Button. First introduced in the Porsche 918 Spyder, the Mode Switch rotary ring on the steering wheel can be used to activate one of four driving modes (Normal, Sport, Sport Plus or Individual). Located at the centre of the switch is the Sport Response Button which when pressed activates the maximum power potential of the Panamera.

New design with dynamic proportions

The exterior of the Panamera has also been sharpened, with the car now 5,049 mm (+34 mm) long, 1,937 mm (+6 mm) wide and 1,423 mm (+5 mm) tall. Despite the slight increase in height, the four-door car looks much lower and longer. This is primarily due to the reduced height above the rear of the passenger compartment – reduced by 20 mm – while maintaining consistently good headroom and changing the car’s overall image completely. The wheelbase has been increased by 30 mm to 2,950 mm, this too lengthens the car’s proportions. The front wheels were shifted further forward, reducing the front overhang and therefore increasing the distance between the A-pillar and the front axle. The rear overhang is longer, giving the car a more powerful appearance.
