The new Panamera . Courage changes everything .
The new Porsche Panamera , redeveloped from the ground up , is a sports car and luxury saloon in one . the engines and transmission were reengineered , the chassis perfected , the display and operating concept interpreted for the future with multitouch controls , and the design embodies core brand values even more . Almost everything about the new Panamera is a technological leap forwards .
The second generation of the Gran Turismo is currently available in four all-wheel drive versions : Panamera 4S , Panamera Turbo , Panamera 4S Diesel and Panamera 4 E-Hybrid . Even at first sight it is clear that the exterior is sharper , more elegant , yet with a silhouette that is inherently Porsche . Bold touches resonate with sports car genetics . It borrows its dynamic roofline from the 911 and an illuminated rear profile strip across the whole width of the car nods to the AWD models of the 911 family .
The range introduces a completely new generation of powerful yet efficient engines , 2.9-litre V6 for the Panamera 4S and 4.0-litre V8 for the 4S Diesel and Turbo . The Diesel delivers 422 hp with 850 Nm of torque . For the Turbo , the layout of its two exhaust turbochargers within the V of the cylinder banks results in shorter exhaust paths and more immediate responsiveness .
This translates to 550 hp , 770 Nm of torque and 0-62 mph in 3.6 seconds with Sport Chrono Package and Launch Control activated . However , its adaptive cylinder control means that when not required , four of the eight cylinders can be deactivated automatically , saving fuel in the process .
Any doubts about hybrid technology will evaporate behind the wheel of the new Panamera 4 E- Hybrid . 462 hp of sports car power with a top speed of 172 mph and 0 to 62 mph in just 4.6 seconds with Launch Control . Yet combined fuel consumption is an impressive 113.0 mpg and only 56 g / km of CO2 emissions are produced .
The Hybrid drive consists of a new 330 hp , 2.9- litre V6 twin-turbo engine producing 450 Nm of torque and a new 136 hp electric motor offering 400 Nm of torque . With both drive elements working in parallel , 700 Nm of torque is available immediately and constantly across a wide speed range . Significantly , the battery capacity has been increased by almost 150 % to 14 kWh giving an electric range of up to 31 miles .
The full expression of the innovative capacity of the new Panamera is evident from the interior . In front of the driver sits a familiar arrangement of five instruments but , while the central revcounter is still analogue , it is now flanked by two 7-inch TFT information displays which can be configured to display information of the driver ’ s choosing .
