Power flow in 1st gear
Power flow in 2nd gear
The flow of power from the
engine is transmitted through one
half gearbox and one clutch at a
time, while the next gear is pre-
selected in the other half gearbox.
During a gear change, therefore,
a complete shift no longer takes
place. Instead, one clutch simply
opens and the other closes at the
same time. Gear changes can
therefore take place within a few
hundredths of a second.
Clutch 1 controls the first half
gearbox, which contains the odd
gears (1, 3, 5 and 7). Clutch 2
controls the second, which con-
tains the even gears (2, 4, 6 and
R). The gear which is engaged
is displayed on the instrument
cluster.
PDK has distinct benefits. A high
level of driving comfort and
very rapid gearshifts, with no
interruption in the flow of power,
produces faster acceleration.
Driving feels even sportier and
more dynamic, and agility is
increased. Depending on the gear-
shift programme (SPORT button
activated or deactivated), the gear
change is optimised for comfort
or for sporty driving. Its high level
of efficiency combined with the
long-ratioed 7th gear helps to
achieve reduced fuel consumption
and emission figures even when
compared with a standard manual
gearbox.
In conjunction with either the
optional Sport Chrono Package
Plus (p. 74) for all Panamera
models with a naturally aspirated
engine or the optional Sport
Chrono Package Turbo for the
Panamera Turbo (p. 76), PDK is
enhanced by a Launch Control
function which offers a sportier
acceleration and gearshift
strategy in automatic mode and
extremely smooth gear changes
in manual mode.
PDK offers sportiness with
efficiency and comfort. A new
definition of driving in the
premium class from Porsche.
