Performance electrified.

All Panamera E-Hybrid models are available as Sport Sedan, Executive or Sport Turismo. The Panamera 4 E-Hybrid models with a system output of 455 hp form the entry level. The Panamera 4S E-Hybrid models with a system output of 562 hp are new additions to the family. At the top: the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid models with 689 hp system power and a maximum torque of 642 lb.ft. The total system output is achieved by combining the output of the combustion engine with the electric motor with 134 hp. The internal combustion engine builds up power and torque with increasing speed. The maximum torque of the electric motor is available immediately. The result: the maximum electrical torque is available even at low speeds – for incomparable acceleration from a standing start.

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 analyses 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.

The Rear-Axle Steering.

The optional Rear-Axle Steering (standard Panamera 4S E-Hybrid Executive and the Turbo S E-Hybrid models) increases both performance and suitability for everyday use. At low speeds, the system steers the rear wheels in the opposite direction to that of the front wheels. This leads to a virtual shortening of the wheelbase. The turning circle is reduced, agility is increased and parking becomes noticeably easier to manage. At high speeds, the system steers the rear wheels in the same direction as that of the front wheels. This virtual extension of the wheelbase increases driving stability. Rear-Axle Steering makes it clear that there is no contradiction between stability and agility or performance and suitability for everyday use. The result: greater maneuverability and driving safety in everyday use – and a significant increase in maximum driving performance.

The brakes.

For over 70 years, we've been working on being faster. Even when it comes to slowing down. That's why all models – with the exception of the Turbo S E-Hybrid models – are equipped with a brake system with six-piston aluminum monobloc fixed brake calipers at the front and four-piston aluminum monobloc fixed brake calipers at the rear. The single-piece brake calipers are enclosed. This makes them lighter yet highly resistant to deformation. The pedal travel is tight, the pressure point precise and the braking distance impressively short.

Proven in motorsport and installed as standard on the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid models, the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) is available as an option. The PCCB perforated ceramic brake discs have a diameter of 420 mm at the front or up to 410 mm at the rear depending on the model for even greater braking performance.
