The Panamera – reworked from the ground up – meets high standards as both a sports car and a comfortable cruising car. Its engines and transmission were re-engineered, the chassis perfected, the display and operating concept interpreted for the future and the design transferred to a new evolutionary stage.

Porsche stands for building unique cars – and the Panamera is one such car. Developed for sports car drivers who appreciate four doors and four seats. And for saloon drivers who swear by sports cars. Opposites which the Panamera reconciles in superior style. A sports car and a luxury saloon in one.

The exterior character of the Panamera has also been sharpened with the dawn of the second generation. It is based on very dynamic proportions.

For the market launch the new Gran Turismo from Porsche is debuting in the versions Panamera Turbo, Panamera 4S and Panamera 4S Diesel. All models have new engines, permanent all-wheel drive and a new eight-speed Porsche dual-clutch transmission (PDK) on board. A four-litre V8 petrol engine that delivers 404 kW (550 hp) powers the Panamera Turbo and a 2.9 litre V6 petrol engine with 324 kW (440 hp) drives the Panamera 4S. In the Panamera 4S Diesel, a four-litre V8 with 310 kW (422 hp) generates powerful thrust.

In keeping with the overall concept of the new Panamera, the new chassis also combines the cruising comfort of a luxury saloon with the performance of a true sports car. This is achieved by supplementing the impressive basic layout with a whole armada of innovative systems: in its new rear-axle steering, Porsche brings the steering precision and handling of sports cars to the Gran Turismo class for the first time.

The new Panamera has a redesigned high-tech lightweight body. Porsche uses even more aluminium than before here. On the predecessor the outer door panels, bonnet, tailgate and the front wings were already made of aluminium. With the new Panamera Porsche is now going much further and also producing large body parts such as the whole side section and the roof in aluminium.

Digitalisation of the automobile is currently changing mobility more intensively and faster than ever. Completely new display and control concepts, more intelligent and more networked assistance systems and continually faster and more powerful on-board electronics are leading to new levels of comfort, connectivity with the outside world and safety.
