The new Panamera - Mark Motors of Ottawa

So you want to satisfy your green credentials even in the red zone?
Engines.
For saloon drivers, it seems, the
interior is no place for engine
noise. But how important is the
engine to you? We thought so.
Just as important as it is to
us. This is why we – like you –
are perfectly happy with that
seductive sound. We – like
you – want to hear that the
new Panamera models are
unmistakably Porsche.
When it comes to the environment,
the facts speak for
themselves. Engines with high
efficiency and low fuel consumption.
High power output
with comparatively low CO2 emissions per hp.
Low on weight, too. The light-alloy
engines have cast aluminium
V8 engine
pistons (Panamera S models) or
forged pistons (Panamera Turbo),
aluminium one-piece cylinder
heads and an aluminium crankcase
of closed-deck construction.
The casing and cooling ducts
around the cylinders form a
closed system. The engines are
therefore lightweight for reduced
fuel consumption and have a long
service life.
An integrated dry-sump lubri-
cation system guarantees a
reliable supply of oil in all driving
situations. Instead of an external
oil tank, the oil reservoir is
located inside the engine, which
saves on space and weight.
V8 engine.
The new Panamera S and
Panamera 4S both have a 4.8-litre
V8 naturally aspirated engine
with direct fuel injection (DFI),
VarioCam Plus and a variable
intake manifold. It generates
294 kW (400 hp) at 6,500 rpm
and has a maximum torque of
500 Nm between 3,500 rpm
and 5,000 rpm.
The rear-wheel-drive Panamera S
with manual gearbox accelerates
from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in
just 5.6 seconds and has a top
speed of 177 mph (285 km/h).
With the optional Porsche
Doppelkupplung (PDK), these
figures are an even more
impressive 5.4 seconds and
175 mph (283 km/h).
Thanks to PDK and Porsche
Traction Management (PTM), the
Panamera 4S achieves 0 to
62 mph (100 km/h) in just 5.0
seconds and reaches a maximum
speed of 175 mph (282 km/h).
