The performance-oriented Turbo S had a turbocharged V8 with 550 hp.
Electronic suspension control was optional on V6 models and standard otherwise.įor 2012, the Porsche Panamera lineup gained a new high-performance model along with a gas/electric hybrid. All had an engine stop and start feature that shuts off the engine when the car is stopped and restarts it when the brake pedal is released. All Panamera models had a seven-speed dual-clutch automated-manual transmission that behaves much like an automatic. It joined the high-power S, 4S, and Turbo, all of which used a 4.8-liter V8 engine. New for 2011 was the base Panamera, which had a 300-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine. The Panamera lineup expanded to include lower-price V6-powered models. With the Panamera, Porsche competed against the Audi A8, BMW 7-Series, Jaguar XJ, and Mercedes-Benz S-Class. Other available features included four-zone automatic climate control, heated and ventilated front and rear seats, a split-folding rear seat, a rear refrigerator, steering-linked bi-xenon headlights, adaptive cruise control, and DVD entertainment. An adaptive air suspension was standard on the Turbo and optional on the S and 4S. Also standard was a rear-obstacle detection system. All models had an engine stop and start feature that shut off the engine when the car was stopped and restarted it when the brake pedal was released. Standard safety features included all-disc antilock braking, traction control, an antiskid system, curtain-side airbags with rollover sensing, front- and rear-side airbags, and front-knee airbags. S and 4S models had 400 horsepower, while the Turbo generated 500 horsepower. All used a front-mounted 4.8-liter V8 engine and seven-speed dual-clutch automated-manual transmission that behaved much like an automatic. Rear-wheel-drive S and all-wheel-drive 4S and Turbo models were offered.
The 2010 Porsche Panamera debuted as a large, four-passenger, four-door hatchback–quite a contrast to the long succession of Porsche two-door coupes and cabriolets.
