The Porsche Panamera (type number 970) is a luxury four-door sedan. It is front-engined with two-wheel drive, with all-wheel drive versions also available. In 2011, hybrid and diesel versions were launched. In April 2013, a facelift to the Panamera was announced, launching again at the Auto Shanghai show. A plug-in hybrid version, the Panamera S E-Hybrid, was released in the U.S. The Panamera's name is derived, like the Porsche Carrera line, from theCarrera Panamericana race. Like the Porsche Cayenne SUV (which has become the marque's best-selling vehicle), the Panamera upset many Porsche purists, since it was seen as an attempt to broaden Porsche's appeal beyond that of hardcore fans. The iconic 911 has a sparse interior, as it was focused on raw performance, while the Panamera has a sumptuous interior loaded with modern technological amenities and expensive leather upholstery. Engines are first assembled in Stuttgart, and the car's body is built and painted at the Volkswagen Group facility in Hannover. The final assembly of the vehicle takes place in Leipzig, Germany, alongside the Cayenne. Production began in April 2009, one month after its debut in the Shanghai Motor Show in China.
Turbo version uses active aerodynamics with a multi-stage, adjustable rear spoiler. Optional Sports Chrono Packages include a Sport Plus button, which has tighter damping and air springs, and lowers the car body by 25 mm (1.0 in). GTS variants were added to the range. The Panamera, S, Hybrid and Diesel models are rear-wheel drive, while the Panamera 4, 4S and GTS have the same four-wheel drive system as the Turbo and Turbo S, called Porsche Traction Management (PTM). Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM). The new ZF seven-speed PDK dual clutch transmission is standard on the Panamera 4, 4S and Turbo models. With the addition of the optional sport chrono package, this provides faster acceleration times. In some markets a six-speed manual is available for rear-wheel drive petrol versions. The Panamera Turbo S is the most powerful mass production Porsche currently on sale. While the 918 Spyder hybrid supercar is more powerful, it doesn't qualify as a mass production model since only 918 units are being built. The Panamera Turbo S engine has bigger turbochargers than the standard Panamera Turbo鈥檚 4.8-litre V8, as well as high-pressure fuel injection, and aluminium-alloy pistons.
The piston rings are coated in a low-friction surface to help eke out even more poke. The Panamera Turbo S accelerates to 62 mph in 3.8 seconds with launch control engaged. Roll-on acceleration should be more impressive, changes to the PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung) gearbox allow for even faster gearshifts, and the alleged 27.7mpg fuel economy is no worse than the less powerful Panamera Turbo. In 2008, Porsche AG announced the development of a parallel hybrid system for the Panamera. February 2011, Porsche unveiled the Panamera S Hybrid. 270 km/h (167.8 mph). The Panamera Diesel was launched in May 2011. The vehicle uses the same Audi 3.0L V6 engine used in the Cayenne Diesel, itself a tuned carryover of an existing engine. The Panamera's engine has a power output of 250 PS (184 kW; 247 hp). The car is capable of accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 6.8 seconds and has a top speed of 242 km/h (150.4 mph). It is also the most economical Porsche in the entire vehicle range, consuming just 6.3 liters per 100 kilometers (37 US MPG/45 UK MPG).
In March 2015, Porsche announced that they were releasing a new special edition Panamera called the "Panamera Edition". The exterior of the Panamera Platinum Edition is enveloped in one of five basic colors - black, white, basalt black, carbon gray metallic, and mahogany metallic. It includes more standard equipment, larger wheels, and an exclusive interior leather combination of luxor beige and black.
