Debut of the Panamera and Panamera 4The Panamera range expands: New three-litre V6 turbo as entry-level engine

Australia. Porsche will continue to expand the Panamera model range at the Los Angeles Auto Show when it presents the luxury saloon with a new 243 kW (330 hp) V6 turbo petrol engine in the rear-drive Panamera and all-wheel drive Panamera 4.

The new V6 turbo is a highly efficient and agile entry-level addition to the impressive range of engines. Power is up by 15 kW (20 hp) over the corresponding engine of the previous Panamera generation. At the same time, Porsche is able to reduce the consumption of this completely redeveloped six-cylinder petrol engine by up to 1.0 L/100 kms.

In addition to the extra 15kW of power, the all-new Panamera and Panamera 4 bring an extensive list of additional Australian standard specification, namely: Adaptive Cruise Control, Adaptive Air Suspension, four-zone climate control, LED headlights, 19-inch wheels, new Porsche Communication Management (PCM) including Voice Control and Connect Plus (Apple Car Play), Digital Radio, 14-way power seats with Comfort Memory Package, Panoramic Roof and Park Assist front and rear including Surround View.

Also in Los Angeles Porsche will introduce Executive versions of the Panamera with a 150 mm longer wheelbase designed primarily as chauffeur saloons. These more luxurious models will not be sold in Australia but will be offered to selected markets as the all-wheel drive Panamera 4 Executive (243 kW / 330 hp), Panamera 4 E-Hybrid Executive (340 kW / 462 hp), Panamera 4S Executive (324 kW / 440 hp) and Panamera Turbo Executive (404 kW / 550 hp).

With these Executive versions frequently used as chauffeur saloons in China and the USA especially, options include the latest generation Porsche Rear Seat Entertainment. The 10.1-inch displays integrated in the backrests of the front seats can be detached for a wide range of uses; when needed, they transform the rear of the Panamera into a fully digitalised workplace. The high-quality displays can also be used as tablets outside the car.

Porsche Rear Seat Entertainment will not be available as an option on Panamera models sold in Australia until a later stage when the features are developed for the local market.

The introduction of the Panamera and Panamera 4 brings the number of Panamera models that will be offered in Australia to six to meet the varying requirements of local Porsche customers; with power outputs ranging from 243 kW for the new V6 turbo petrol Panamera to 404 kW for the mighty Panamera Turbo.

All Panamera models are available for purchase now with initial deliveries expected in late Q1 of 2017.

Porsche Cars Australia (PCA) has already sold 40 of the all-new generation luxury saloon, many months ahead of local arrival and first test drives.
