The 2.9-litre V6 biturbo engine of the Panamera 4S develops a maximum power of 440hp (20hp more than the previous model); it is already available at 5,650rpm.
Between 1,750 and 5,500rpm, the new six-cylinder delivers 550Nm (30Nm more) to the drive axles.
The Panamera 4S can reach 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds (4.2 seconds with the Sport Chrono Package).
With a top speed of 289 km/h, this Porsche is getting close to the 300 km/h mark.
The NEDC combined fuel consumption is 8.2 – 8.1 l/100 km.
Compared to the first generation Panamera 4S, this represents a fuel saving of up to 1.0 l/100 km or 11 per cent.
On the Panamera, the agile six-cylinder engine drives only the rear wheels.
In all models, the motor is linked to an extremely fast eight-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).
Like all other engines of the new Gran Turismo, this V6 is also a turbo engine with direct petrol injection.
It develops 330hp between 5400 and 6400rpm, representing a 20hp increase over the naturally aspirated engine used in the previous model.
There's also an adaptive air suspension with new three-chamber technology, including Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM electronic damper control), the enhanced Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport) system including Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) and active roll stabilisation, as well as a new electromechanical steering system.
The integrated 4D Chassis Control system analyses and synchronises all chassis systems in real time.
Rear axle steering is also new and has been adapted from the 918 Spyder and 911 Turbo.
The new Panamera is 5,049 mm (+34 mm) long, 1,937 mm (+6 mm) wide and 1,423 mm (+5 mm) tall.
The wheelbase has been increased by 30mm to 2,950 mm; this too lengthens the car’s proportions.
The front wheels were shifted further forward, reducing the front overhang and making the prestige dimension – the distance between the A-pillar and the front axle – even larger.
The rear overhang is longer, giving the car a more powerful appearance.
In the new Panamera, black panel surfaces and interactive displays combine a clear and intuitive user interface like that of smartphones and tablets with the practical requirements for controlling the car.
Classic hard keys and conventional instruments have been reduced significantly.
They have been replaced by touch-sensitive panels and individually configurable displays which take centre stage in the new Porsche Advanced Cockpit.
Meanwhile, the tachometer, positioned centrally in the instrument cluster, is a tribute to the 1955 Porsche 356 A.
The gearshift console between the driver and the front passenger is dominated by the 12.3-inch touchscreen of Porsche Communication Management (PCM) system.
The PCM area – with its high-end, high-resolution display – transitions harmoniously into the black panel concept of the centre console with a shift-by-wire gear selector for the PDK.
A new control panel with touch-sensitive switches on the centre console enables intuitive control of various functions.
Even the louvres of the central air vent are electrically adjusted by touch-sensitive sliders.
Rear passengers can control air conditioning and infotainment functions using an optional four-zone automatic climate control system.
In addition, the Porsche Panamera offers a 40:20:40 split of the folding rear bench backrests (495 to 1,304 litres of luggage capacity).
New equipment options include the panoramic tilt roof, massage seats, ambient lighting and a 3D high-end sound system from Burmester.
