Visually, the Panamera and Panamera 4 models can be identified by 18-inch "Panamera" wheels, black brake callipers, two exhaust outlets and side window frames painted in matt black.
The new Panamera is distinguished by the double lamellae of the front side air intakes. They are black - just like the rear diffuser - while the new Panamera 4 features double titanium-coloured lamellae and a special diffuser.
On the power side, the Panamera and Panamera 4 feature a new 3.6-litre atmospheric V6 with direct fuel injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus, original equipment. This powerful and dynamic engine develops 300 hp (220 kW) and 400 Nm of torque. To transmit this power to the rear axle, the new Panamera is assisted by a 6-speed mechanical gearbox. The Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) with Stop-Start function is available as an option. The gear change is then ultra-fast, virtually without torque failure - for high performance and comfort and low fuel consumption.
