Porsche is continuing to expand the model line of the new Panamera: The Panamera 4 E-Hybrid benefits from the dynamics of the 918 Spyder super sportscar; the Executive models, which feature a wheelbase that has been extended by 150 millimetres, expand the body and equipment portfolio at the top end of the model line. Designed as a chauffeur saloon, this Porsche is available in the all-wheel drive versions Panamera 4 Executive (243 kW/330 hp), Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Executive (340 kW/462 hp), Panamera 4S Executive (324 kW/440 hp) and Panamera Turbo Executive (404 kW/550 hp). more …
At Porsche, the term “hybrid” is synonymous not only with sustainable mobility, but also performance – a fact demonstrated not least by the victory of the 919 Hybrid in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race in 2015 and 2016. This philosophy also defines the Panamera 4 E-Hybrid. The petrol-electric Gran Turismo generates some 340 kW (462 hp) of system power and delivers fuel consumption figures of 2.5 l/100 km in the New European Driving Cycle (NEDC) for plug-in hybrid models. These figures correspond to CO2 emissions of 56 g/km. more …
An extended Executive version has been available since the first generation of the Porsche Panamera. Similarly to its predecessor, the new Porsche Panamera Executive is characterised by a 150 millimetre wheelbase extension, taking the total dimension to 3100 millimetres. This increases the overall length of the four-door saloon from 5049 to 5199 millimetres, while the interior benefits from a more exclusive lounge-like rear, up to 110 millimetres more legroom and a 40-millimetre greater backrest angle. more …
The newly designed three-litre V6 engine completes the range of Panamera engines at the entry-level end. On the Panamera, the agile six-cylinder engine drives only the rear wheels, while on the Panamera 4, both the rear and front axle are powered. In all models, the motor is linked to an extremely fast eight-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK). Like all other engines of the new Gran Turismo, this V6 is also a turbo engine with direct petrol injection. It develops 243 kW (330 hp) between 5400 and 6400 rpm, representing a 20 hp increase over the naturally aspirated engine used in the previous model. The turbo engine delivers its maximum torque of 450 Nm from just 1340 rpm (predecessor: 400 Nm). The V6 turbo is much more responsive than the naturally aspirated V6 engine it replaces. Despite the improved power and torque development, consumption was still reduced by up to 1.0 l/100 km. more …
