The latest Porsche Panamera combines two contrasting characters, namely genuine sports car performance and comfort of a luxury sedan. Panamera is set to become an icon of performance in the luxury car class.
There is nothing new in the Porsche Panamera.
The first visually, the athletic roofline 20 mm lower at the rear typical Porsche confirms flyline that provides equal force to the design icon Porsche 911.
Second, various functions and interactions in Advanced Cockpit Interior Porsche re-interpreted. Surface black panels and interactive displays incorporate user interface, such as smartphones and tablets, with practical steps. Classic key and other conventional features have been significantly reduced, replaced by a touch-sensitive panel and the display can be set individually.
Third, the choice of V6 and V8 biturbo engine with a power that is the most comprehensive and full-bodied sound. All second-generation Panamera engine has been redesigned, made more powerful, while significantly improving fuel efficiency and reducing emissions.
The three latest biturbo direct injection engine was introduced at launch, namely the Panamera Turbo, Panamera 4S and Panamera 4S. Everything - and for the first time including a diesel - the possibility of a system equipped with permanent all-wheel drive and 8-speed transmission Porsche's dual-clutch (PDK).
V8 petrol engine which gives a power of 404 kW / 550 HP on the Panamera Turbo and V6 gasoline engine with 324 kW / 4422 hp produces a strong impetus and a maximum torque of 850 Nm. In total, he is 30 hp more powerful than the previous.
Changes to the engine include a centralized turbo layout that makes the engine more compact, and allows a lower mounting position. This, in turn, has a positive effect on the center of gravity of the car. Meanwhile, the short path between the two turbochargers and combustion chamber produces spontaneous throttle response.
Engine response can be further enhanced using optional with Sport Mode Switch Response Button. Mode Switch, which was first introduced in the Porsche 918 Spyder, intuitively operated rotary ring on the steering wheel, which can be used to activate one of four driving modes (Normal, Sport, Sport Plus or Individual). This button can be used to remove the potential power of the Panamera.
Fourth, he is referred to as a luxury sedan that can be brought to the race track. The chassis brings together the convenience of a luxury sedan for everyday performance of a sports car by adding a layout d
asar, such as adaptive air suspension technology with three newest room.
Section that includes Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM electronic damping control), systems Sport Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC Sport) has been enhanced including the Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV Plus) and active roll stabilization, as well as electromechanical steering system.
Chassis Control system integrated 4D analysis and equate all the chassis systems in real time and optimize the performance of the latest Panamera.
Fifth, Porsche also takes steering precision and handling in sports cars in the Gran Turismo class cars with rear axle steering - which is also new and has been adapted from the 918 Spyder and the 911 Turbo. Performance brakes have also been upgraded.
Sixth, the Panamera comes with many standard and optional assistance systems, including visual aid at night (night vision), which uses a thermal imaging camera to detect humans and animals big and bright color displays for warning indicators in the cockpit.
If the optional LED headlights latest matrix is selected, a person who is outside the visual area spotlights will also be little affected by the light when they are in range of the sensors, allowing the driver to react faster.
Seventh, the latest InnoDrive Porsche, which includes adaptive cruise control, allowing the rider to look ahead all the way. Based on the navigation data and signals from radar and video sensors, the system calculates and enable optimal speed and rate of deceleration and gear selection and phase ran, for the next three kilometers. Thus, the co-pilot's electronics automatically calculates the bend, climb, and speed limits into it.
Eighth, the Panamera Turbo is more efficient because it is the first Porsche equipped with the latest adaptive control cylinder in the engine. On combustion operation, the system temporarily and imperceptibly change the function of eight cylinders to four-cylinder engines.
In effect, a reduction in fuel consumption reached 30 percent, depending on the power demand on the phase of the four-cylinder.
Ninth, the Panamera also larger sizes, with a length of 5,049 mm (+34 mm), width 1,937 mm (+6 mm) and height 1,423 mm (+5 mm). Although there was a slight increase in height, this four-door car look lower and longer. This is mainly due to the reduced height above the rear passenger compartment, which was reduced to 20 mm, while still maintaining the consistently good headroom.
It really changed the overall look of the car. The front wheels are moved further forward, reducing the overhang at the front and create a luxurious dimensions - the distance between the A-pillar and front axle - bigger. Overhang is longer at the rear, giving the car a more powerful appearance.
Tenth, hood, trunk, roof, and side parts made entirely of aluminum.
Eleventh, the most prominent component identifies the rear are three-dimensional LED rear lights with four-point integrated brake light.
Twelfth, Panamera 4S and 4S Diesel can be recognized through the round exhaust pipes, while the Panamera Turbo has a trapezium-shaped exhaust pipe.
Thirteenth, Porsche Panamera offers variable best layout of any luxury-class model making it the most practical for daily use by 40:20:40 split folding rear bench brackets (495 to 1,340 liters of luggage capacity).
To increase user comfort Panamera to an entirely new level, there is a new feature options, such as a panoramic tilt roof, massage seats, lighting and sound system from Burmester luxury 3D.
