The Panamera concept

Can a vision be logical? Is it even allowed to be? Probably not. We believe that the more visionary an idea at the start, the more exciting it is at the end. Then it's worth fighting for. That was the case with the Panamera. A sports car for four? With impressive performance and great comfort?

With the dynamism typical of Porsche and simultaneously more efficient? Many said it was impossible. Others called it brave.

With the Panamera, we consistently went our own way, always stayed true to our roots - and have thus injected the typical Porsche DNA into the luxury sedan segment.
With the Panamera, we are now pursuing this path just as consistently.

Exterior

Whether Panamera, Panamera Executive or Panamera Sport Turismo - the silhouette and proportions are unmistakably Porsche. Athletic, streamlined, with clear contours and powerful muscles.

The long wheelbase, shorter overhang at the front and longer overhang at the rear already lend visual dynamism. The prominent sculpting of the side profile creates the customary Porsche waistline and sense of lightness.

Interior

Typical of Porsche: the sophisticated sports car ergonomics with ascending center console, flat dashboard and the analog tachometer in the center of the instrument cluster. The new steering wheel generation, in conjunction with the Porsche Advanced Cockpit control concept, offers quick access to the most important functions.

Whether you're behind the wheel or occupying a passenger seat in the front or rear: in a Porsche, every drive should feel like sport, not transport. With comfort, not cozy cuddles.

The Chassis

The chassis of the new Panamera models performs this balancing act between sport and comfort effortlessly - even more impressively than before. This is because the chassis systems have been completely redesigned and, together with the even more precisely adjusted steering and the new generation of tires, now offer more of both. More performance, but above all more comfort - especially on more demanding tracks. Upgraded, partly optional chassis technologies further enhance the driving characteristics. For example, the Adaptive Air Suspension with three-chamber technology, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport) and Rear-Axle Steering. The integrated Porsche 4D Chassis Control system, which centrally analyzes the driving situation in all three spatial dimensions, e.g. pitch, roll and yaw, calculates optimum driving states from these data and synchronizes all chassis systems in real time: the fourth dimension. The objective is to optimize overall performance, and to make the middle ground between sporty driving and comfort as expansive as possible.

Sport Chrono Package

Adrenaline at the push of a button: the Sport Chrono Package offers an even sportier tuning of the chassis, engine and transmission.

With the mode switch on the steering wheel with Sport Response button, you can choose between four driving modes: 'Normal', 'Sport', 'Sport Plus' and 'Individual' - for an even more personalized driving style.

In Sport mode alone, the Panamera delivers increased dynamics and more direct handling. While in Sport Plus mode, the engine becomes even more responsive. The rev limiter is adjusted to a harder setting. Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport) are retuned for harder damping and more direct turn-in. The Adaptive Air Suspension drops to Low Level and firms the spring rate. The Rear-Axle Steering acts to provide even greater agility. Another function included in the package is Launch Control - for optimum acceleration from a standing start.
