"A Great Tourism for the purists of sports motoring," describe those responsible for Porsche the new Panamera GTS.
The Panamera GTS has an 4.8 -liter atmospheric engine, 316 kW (430 hp) of power, 520 nm of torque, change Porsche DoppelkuppLung (PDK) of seven speeds and active total traction.
With its power, it not only covers the hole between Panamera 4s and Panamera Turbo. Moreover, it is the most sporty expression of the Panamera series, with a clear approach to benefits.
Propulsion
Panamera GTS is propelled by an 8 -cylinder atmospheric engine in V and 4.8 liters of displacement in light architecture. With aluminum casting pistons, one -piece aluminum butt and a lubrication by integrated dry crankcase for a safe oil diet even in sports driving mode. It is based on the Panamera 4S engine, although it develops 22 kW (30 hp) and has a upper motor torque in 20 Nm. In addition, its turn capacity is higher and the maximum revolution regime has been increased by 400 rpm, and now reaches 7,100 rpm. The result: 316 kW (430 hp) and 520 nm.
This superior power is achieved by measures such as modified intake camshaft trees with a greater valve race, as well as a new air suction system with two additional air filtering modules to left and right on the front.
To revolutions greater than 3,500 RPM, butterflies are opened in the air filtering modules that facilitate the aspiration of air by the engine. At higher speeds, another increase in power is achieved thanks to the dynamic pressure of the relative wind.
To this we must add a specially modified engine distribution for the Panamera GTS that allows, for example, a faster generation of the motor torque. This translates into a perceptibly more direct engine response. Or, by means of the partial and temporary outlet of cylinders in the processes of change, in much faster times of change Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) as standard.
Modifications that can perceive, for example, in the considerably densest sound of the engine and that you can see throughout the body: in the Sport Plus program the Panamera GTS accelerates in just 4.5 seconds from 0 to 100 km/Hy reaches a maximum speed of 288 km/h.
Stability
The PDCC is an active system for the stabilization of the balancing, which in the curve sections records in advance the lateral inclination of the vehicle and reduces it considerably. It also minimizes the lateral balancing of the vehicle on undulating firm. This takes place through active stabilizer bars on both axes, which selectively generate forces that counteract the lateral inclination of the vehicle, depending on the greater or lesser degree of turn and transverse acceleration.
The PTV plus combined with the PDCC is a system to increase the dynamics and stability of circulation, which operates with a variable distribution of the torque in the rear wheels, as well as a transverse blocking of the rear axle of electronic regulation. More specifically, with a dynamic driving style, the rear wheel on the inner side of the curve is slightly braking with the direction of the direction. In this way, the rear wheel on the outer side of the curve has greater motor force, which allows it to provide an additional impulse in the direction towards which the turn occurs. The result is a more direct and dynamic turn in curves. At medium and low speeds, the PTV plus significantly increases agility and turning precision. At high speeds and when it is accelerating from the curves the transverse blocking of the rear axle of electronic regulation provides greater circulation stability. It also improves the tensile of the rear wheels on firm with different pavements, as well as on wet and with snow.
Security and other aspects
The Porsche Panamera optionally equips the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) ceramic brake system, very proven in competition; a dynamic lighting system formed by Bixenon headlights; Active cap that improves security against impacts against pedestrians; and a complete airbag system: front, side, knee and curtain airbags throughout the ceiling frame.
