Porsche Panamera Turbo
While the Panamera S and 4S eschew V8 power for a more frugal twin-turbo V6 engine, the Turbo retains its force-fed 4.8-litre V8. Its power is up, too, boosted from 493 to 513bhp, while peak torque remains at 516lb ft. While this results in improved performance figures – 0-60 now dipping below the 4.0sec mark and the top speed climbing to 189mph – fuel economy and CO2 emissions have benefitted from the update, too. They are now rated at 27.7mpg and 239g/km respectively.
The economy gains are assisted by new technology for the PDK twin-clutch paddleshift gearbox; as well as its traditional seven speeds, intermediate gears between them increase efficiency when travelling below 50mph. It’s a curious technology already seen in the 911 Turbo S, the gearbox shifting up earlier than it usually could but without stalling the engine, slipping the clutch to bring the revs up to a workable engine speed. The stop/start system engages from 4mph during deceleration rather than waiting for the car to come to a halt and there’s a coasting function, which allows the engine to run at idle during some cruising speeds.
The springs and dampers have been tweaked to boost comfort, while improved steering box mounts are said to provide a more direct response. Otherwise, tweaks are kept to the usual nip’n’tuck for headlights, taillights and body creases, while there’s a debut for Porsche Car Connect, which allows remote operation of some of the car’s feaures. Highlights include the ability to find the car when you’ve forgotten where it’s parked, turning the heating on before you get in and being able to lock the engine if you think someone’s nabbed the keys.
