When you need a solution, it’s always best to start by looking within. The brief did not specify a saloon. Nor did it specify a four-seater,or even all-wheel drive. It specified a Porsche. Sportscar technology for four. The new Panamera.
The Porsche Panamera model range.
What can a car manufacturer with such a small market share worldwide have to say about luxury saloons? Good question. It’s true that life sometimes has to be taken very seriously, but not necessarily everywhere and all of the time. It’s good to lighten up and relax a little. Look at things in an original way. Think differently.
Not everyone who achieves success should feel bound by convention. A few reject the norms and constraints of society and view things from a new perspective: open, surprising, agile and inquisitive. Consequently, a refreshing change is happening within the automotive luxury and premium classes. Suddenly, luxury is losing its association with the mundane and the premium class is no longer home to narrow thinking.
Our engineers have demonstrated courage with the Panamera concept. By continually re-evaluating and reinventing.By reconciling apparent contradictions:performance and efficiency, dynamics and comfort, career and family. And by forever remaining true to our roots, with shared traits like the ignition on the left and the tachometer in the middle.In short, using Porsche DNA.
The new generation of the Panamera is ideally equipped for the road. And for your vision of a modern-day sports car.The new Panamera Executive models,with even more space and comfort inthe rear compartment, provide greater freedom to relax or work.
Chassis control systems, such as Porsche 4D Chassis Control, available three-chamber air suspension, rear axle steering, and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control Sport (PDCC Sport), intensify the driving experience. Assistance systems, such as Porsche InnoDrive, make itmore efficient. Available thanks to Porsche Connect, all new models are connected to the digital world. Just what you need when you’re on a journey to the future.
The way ahead is illuminated by LED headlights fitted to all Panamera models. LED headlights with Matrix Design including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus (PDLS Plus) are availableas an option.

Porsche DNAconsistently realized.
Does a sporty sedan really have tolook like a sedan? Or can it look rather more athletic? With a taut roof line,for example, that displays a sleekand harmonious contour more likelyto be associated with a two-seater?
The silhouette and proportions of the new Panamera models are more Porsche than ever. Clearly perceived rounded transitions,powerful muscles, and a sharpened sports car silhouette emphasize the precision of the new design.
The wheelbase is a little more than an inch longer than that of its predecessor—the shorter overhang at the front andthe longer overhang at the rear lend visual dynamism. The more prominent sculpting of the side profile createsthe customary Porsche waistline and sense of lightness. The Porsche Dynamic Light System (PDLS) on the Panamera Turboincludes LED headlights with 4-point daytime running lights as a stunning identifying feature.
The Porsche Panamera, the Panamera 4 models,and the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid models are equipped with 19-inch Panamera wheels with high-performance summer tires.Their respective exhaust systems feature two tailpipes in brushed stainless steel.
Telltale feature of the E-Hybrid models:Acid Green brake calipers and model designated with Acid Green highlights. The tremendous tractive power of the two all-wheel drive 4S models is transmittedto the road by 19-inch Panamera S wheels with high-performance summer tires. Wheels of up to 21 inches in size are available as an option. Behind them:brake calipers in Titanium Grey. Twin-tube tailpipes are fitted left and right.
The light strip on the rear and the slimline three-dimensional LED taillights with 4-point brake lights are characteristic features of all Panamera models. The extending rear spoiler integrated intothe body reduces lift at the rear axleat high speeds. European model shown. Some options may not be available.
