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 Panamera models are unmis-
takably 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 CO
2
emissions per hp.
Low on weight, too. The light-alloy
engines have cast aluminium pis-
tons (Panamera and 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 light-
weight for reduced fuel con-
sumption and have a long service
life.
The V6 engine, which is based on
the V8 engine, additionally fea-
tures a balance shaft to minimise
vibrations and ensure smooth
running.
An integrated dry-sump lubrication
system guarantees a reliable sup-
ply of oil in all driving situations.
Instead of an external oil tank, the
oil reservoir is located directly
inside the engine, which saves on
space and weight.
Electronic engine management
system.
The electronic engine management
system ensures optimum engine
performance at all times. In par-

ticular, it evaluates the signals of
the electronic accelerator pedal
(E-Gas) – a prerequisite for Porsche
Stability Management (PSM, p. 72),
which is fitted as standard. More-
over, it regulates all engine-related
functions and assemblies. The
results: optimum performance
and torque with reduced fuel
consumption and emissions,
whatever your driving style. Another important function is the
cylinder-specific knock control,
which compensates for different
fuel grades added to the engine.
Since cylinders never all work
under exactly the same conditions,
the ignition point is shifted indi-
vidually, as and when necessary.
The on-board diagnostics ensure
timely detection of any faults and
defects that may occur in the
exhaust and fuel systems and
notify the driver immediately. This
also prevents increased pollutant
emissions and unnecessary fuel
consumption.
