The New Porsche Panamera

The newly designed Porsche Panamera

The new Porsche Panamera reconciles two contrasting characteristics more than ever
before: the performance of a genuine sports car and the comfort of a luxury saloon. It is a Gran Turismo
that has been rethought and realigned.

New V6 and V8 bi-turbo engines with ample power and full-bodied sound. A Porsche has always impressed with more than just power; its efficiency is equally important. To elevate this formula to a new level, all of the second generation Panamera’s engines have been redesigned.They have all been made more powerful, while significantly improving fuel economy and reducing emissions. Three new bi-turbo direct injection engines are being introduced at the market launch: in the Panamera Turbo, the Panamera 4S and the Panamera 4S Diesel.

A V8 petrol engine that delivers 404 kW / 550 hp powers the Panamera Turbo and a V6 petrol engine
with 324 kW / 440 hp drives the Panamera 4S. In the Panamera 4S Diesel, a V8 with 310 kW / 422 hp
generates powerful thrust and maximum torque of 850 Nm.

The Panamera is equipped with many assistance systems to make driving easier and safer, such as adaptive cruise control which is standard on all New Zealand models. New systems include the optional night vision assistant, which uses a thermal imag-ing camera to detect people and large animals and displays a colour highlighted warning indicator in the cockpit. With the new LED matrix headlights with 84 image points (standard on Panamera Turbo) people beyond the visual range of the dipped beam headlight are also illuminated briefly if they are in the computed driving corridor, allowing the driver to react even faster.

Details of the new design: even more dynamic proportions. The exterior character of the Panamera has also been sharpened with the dawn of the second generation. It is based on very dynamic proportions. The new Panamera is 5,049 mm long (+34 mm), 1,937 mm wide (+6 mm) and 1,423 mm tall (+5 mm).
