Founding a company. Not simply continuing down the chosen path, but forever reinventing oneself along the way. Doing things differently from others. All this takes courage. Courage that breaks with conventions, draws a clear line, and creates the future. In Los Angeles, London, Berlin, Singapore – and in Zuffenhausen. Without courage, nothing would be different from yesterday. Porsche would not be Porsche. And you would not be you.

Courage takes many forms. We’ve opted for that of a sports car. A few years ago, everything to do with the sedan suddenly changed. Large, cumbersome and thickly padded instantly seemed outmoded qualities. On the road, something happened – something rather fast and dynamic: a sports car came along. A sports car with four seats, an unmistakable silhouette and performance figures normally associated only with a Porsche. The Panamera. It changed everything. For drivers of sedans first and foremost. Sporting spirit – in business and in personal life – found its automotive match. The courage to perform found a matching performer. Now the change goes on. Forwards. On the road, something is happening again. For sporty drivers – and their sporty companions – our engineers and designers have created the next Panamera. With the courage of a new generation. The new Panamera. Courage changes everything.

The new generation of the Panamera sees two models lining up on the grid: the Panamera 4S with a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6 engine offering 440 hp and the Panamera Turbo with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, twin-scroll turbochargers, adaptive cylinder control and a power output of 550 hp. And it’s more dynamic than ever: thanks to Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport), Porsche 4D Chassis Control, three-chamber air suspension and – for the first time in the Panamera – rear-axle steering. Characteristic features of all Panamera models: four-point LED daytime running lights – including Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) on the Panamera Turbo – the light strip on the rear end and the slimline three-dimensional LED taillights with fourpoint brake lights. The extending rear spoiler integrated into the body reduces lift at the rear axle. The tremendous tractive power of the Panamera 4S all-wheel drive is transmitted to the road by 19-inch Panamera S wheels. Wheels of up to 21 inches in size are available as an option. Behind them: brake calipers in Titanium Grey. Round twin tailpipes are fitted left and right. On the new Panamera Turbo with its dominant front end and characteristic front light units, the side air outlets in the front fenders are finished in the exterior color of the vehicle. The twin tailpipes are specific to the Turbo, the brake calipers behind the 20-inch Panamera Turbo wheels are finished in red. The rear spoiler of the Panamera Turbo splits at full deployment for a significant gain in width – commensurate with the higher power output of this model.

When you’re happy to lean back in comfort, you change nothing? We disagree. For only those who know how to breathe calmly will ultimately stay the course. The ingenious sports car ergonomics of the Panamera are centered on the driver and on performance – without disregard for the wellbeing of passengers. The interior has been completely restyled – and nevertheless remains typically Porsche. Examples include the ascending center console, which enables swift hand movements from the multifunction steering wheel to the gear selector. The dashboard is flat and conspicuously wide. The analog tachometer is positioned in the middle of the instrument cluster. New Porsche Advanced Cockpit control and display concept with newly styled center console in glass look. High-resolution 12-inch touchscreen display. The most striking feature of the rear seats? There are two separate ones. With plenty of leg- and headroom and offering excellent lateral support through fast corners – without sacrificing comfort. And what else? You decide: seat variants, leather or two-tone interior schemes? Fine woods, aluminum or carbon fiber? More sporty? More luxurious? Both? Thanks to our extensive range of personalization options, the possibilities for you and your wishes are virtually boundless. Above all, though, there is plenty of space and comfort. Not so typical of a sports car. Absolutely typical of the new Panamera.
