Porsche brakes are renowned
for their stopping power, setting
the standards for deceleration
and stability. They are designed to
cope with extreme forces such
as those experienced during hard
braking.
The Panamera, Panamera 4,
Panamera S and Panamera 4S all
have a braking system equipped
with six-piston aluminium mono-
bloc fixed brake calipers at the
front and four-piston aluminium
monobloc fixed calipers at
the rear. The brake calipers on
the Panamera and Panamera 4
are finished in black; on the
Panamera S and Panamera 4S,
they are silver-coloured.
The brake disc diameters are
360 mm and 330 mm at the
front and rear respectively.
Owing to its greater engine
power, the Panamera Turbo’s
braking system features red-
painted six-piston aluminium mono -
bloc fixed brake calipers at the
front and a four-piston unit at the
rear, and brake discs with a
diameter of 390 mm at the front
and 350 mm at the rear for
outstanding braking performance
and a short braking distance.
The brake calipers have an
enclosed monobloc construction.
This makes them tough but light
and enables a rapid response and
release of the brake. The pedal
travel is short and easy to control.
All models have grooved brake
discs ensuring optimum braking
even under extreme conditions.
The discs are internally vented for
rapid heat dispersal.
The Panamera models are also
equipped with an anti-lock braking
system (ABS), designed to keep
deceleration constant. A specially
designed air duct cools the brakes
effectively and, for added safety,
a brake pad wear indicator for
each wheel informs you when the
brake pads need to be replaced.
The electric parking brake, which
you can activate and deactivate
manually, releases automatically
as you pull away. With the hill-hold
function, you can pull away with-
out ever rolling back. The system
automatically detects when the
vehicle has come to a halt on an
uphill gradient. PSM then main-
tains the brake pressure at all four
wheels for a brief period to pre-
vent the vehicle from moving in
the opposite direction.
