The Panamera

Driving dynamics.

The Panamera models combine sporty driving dynamics and a high level of driving comfort. The perfectly coordinated combination of a high-performance drivetrain, the Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and the chassis ensures impressive overall performance.

Adaptive air suspension including PASM.

The Panamera models are equipped with adaptive air suspension including Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). The high-end Porsche Active Ride chassis is optionally available for the Panamera E-Hybrid models. The optional high-end Porsche Active Ride chassis (standard on the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid) is an active chassis system that significantly increases comfort and performance. In the air suspension shock absorbers, tensile and compressive forces can be generated separately on each wheel as required. The result: an even greater balance between comfortable travel and sporty driving dynamics. In addition, raising the level of the entire vehicle by 55 mm when opening and closing the doors increases the comfort of getting in and out.

8-speed PDK.

Unusual in a luxury sedan, standard in a sports car: the 8-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) with automatic mode and manual operation via paddles on the steering wheel. The precise gear changes take place in milliseconds without any noticeable interruption in traction.

All-wheel drive.

With the exception of the rear-drive Panamera, all models are equipped with Porsche Traction Management (PTM): active all-wheel drive system with an electronically variable, map-controlled multi-plate clutch, automatic brake differential (ABD) and anti-slip regulation (ASR).

Rear-axle steering.

Optional rear-axle steering (standard on the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid) enhances performance and day-to-day usability in equal measure. At low speeds, the turning circle is reduced, agility is increased and parking becomes noticeably easier to manage. At higher speeds, driving stability is increased. The result: greater maneuverability and driving comfort in everyday use.

The Panamera E-Hybrid models.

The system power is achieved through the combination of the combustion engine and the electric motor. Both drives can be used together as a system or separately, depending on the requirements. The electric motor, with a maximum power of 140 kW (187 hp) and a maximum torque of 331 lb-ft, and a new generation of batteries ensures superior driving performance and increased electric range.
