The Porsche Panamera has become a real gem of the "gran turismo" class - luxurious high-speed AW vehicles designed for long journeys. It doesn't matter how many kilometers you need to travel: a couple of dozen from home to office, or a couple of thousand from Minsk to Paris. It doesn't matter how many traveling companions you want to take with you: one or three. It doesn't matter how much luggage you have: a business briefcase or four large suitcases. The Panamera will take you to your destination in maximum comfort. And in the shortest possible time.

Porsche doesn't like compromises. Therefore, on weekdays, Panamera will perfectly cope with the role of a representative AW car, which better than any words say to others: "This person knows how to make money and really knows a lot about good AW cars." And on weekends, he will bark with the exhaust of a powerful engine, as if asking: "Well, master, hasn't the powder in the flasks been transferred yet ?!" Press the gas pedal all the way and demonstrate to everyone what acceleration from zero to "hundreds" in 4 seconds is. The speedometer is marked "for three hundred" not for beauty - the Panamera Turbo has a top speed of 303 km / h!

Of course, you can keep two AW vehicles in your garage: a luxury sedan and a hot coupe. And you can get both from the Porsche Panamera. The choice is yours: rear-wheel drive or permanent all-wheel drive, naturally aspirated V8 engine with 400 hp. or the same, but with two turbines blowing out 500 hp, a manual transmission or a lightning-fast PDK sequential gearbox with two clutches.

In the extensive list of options, you will find everything you can expect from an AW of this class: 4-zone climate control, ventilation of the front and rear seats, exclusive interior trim in aluminum, wood or carbon fiber, a luxurious 1000-watt high-end audio system from the Berlin company Burmester and much, much more to make your Panamera unlike everyone else.

TURBOSILA

Modern AW top is akin to professional boxing. Classes of AW vehicles are weight categories, comparative tests are fights in the ring. The similarities can be enumerated by the mass. With the development of the AW car industry, manufacturers are forced to come up with more and more tricks to interest sophisticated customers.

Porsche, which, despite its conservatism, was forced to tread on the path of rational economic progress, started with the "heavyweight" - the mid-size Porsche Cayenne crossover, which literally pulled the company out of the crisis and allowed Porsche to further develop its sports models. But competitors are not asleep, and the German trinity of BMW, Audi and Mercedes is releasing more and more body modifications with frightening frequency.

The company Porsche was no exception, having released an uncompromising AW car, which does not fit any class, but at the same time is similar to many. This is the Porsche Panamera. Honestly, before getting behind the wheel, I managed to see the Panamera “live” only a couple of times, and even then near the Porsche AW dealership. Sedan, hatchback, sedan-hatchback? Looking closely, you realize that this is without a doubt a five-door hatchback.

Despite the fact that such a Porsche has never been seen before, the Panamera is 100% recognizable. At the front there is a traditionally massive bumper, big-eyed headlights, a trapezoidal bonnet and pronounced wheel arches that emphasize the sporty pedigree of the Panamera. At the rear, the powerful stern, the familiar silhouette of the LED lights and the multi-track front and rear axles are striking. And only the profile of the Porsche Panamera with an insignificantly small rear wing, "bloodthirsty" stampings on the front fenders and a "humped" silhouette evokes conflicting feelings. Original? Indisputably.

Handsomely? Question. There is nothing to be done, this is the peculiarity of the layout of the body "hatchback", although it seems to me that at the headquarters in Stuttgart with the release of the Panamera this word is not favored. Very much it is not "Porsche" and not sports.

And now, it happened! In front of me is a blue-gray Panamera Turbo with optional 20-inch light-alloy wheels. At the rear there are 2 twin exhaust pipes. The front optics consists of 4 bright LED sources that terrify the vehicles in front in daylight mode. When the dipped beam is on, the bi-xenon swivel illuminates the road.

But the most chic is the spoiler that emerges from the rear cover, which appears at a speed of over 90 km / h. Moreover, in the Turbo version, it is divided in the middle, moving apart to the left and right. A real transformer! And starting at 205 km / h, the AW mechanism automatically changes the angle of attack to increase downforce.

To be honest, knowing that under the hood of the new front-engined Panamera Turbo there is a 4.8-liter bi-turbo “eight” producing 500 hp. and 700 Nm, I expected a little different emotions and sensations from this AW car. And this does not mean that the Panamera disappointed and did not live up to expectations.

I sit inside and immediately recognize the Porsche-style hard chair with excellent lateral support and the sports steering wheel that migrated here from the 911 model. The instrument panel, consisting of five wells, is also familiar, but only now it is possible to display a color image of the navigation system in one of them. Conveniently!

I recognize the familiar instrument panel, consisting of five wells, but only now it is possible to display a color image of the navigation system in one of them. Conveniently!

Everything familiar and familiar ends when the gaze falls on the central tunnel between the front seats. A scattering of keys was placed around the PDK selector

Inside the chic shine is beauty. Finishing at the highest level! High quality leather, wood inserts. Everything is on the level. Ergonomics in Porsche is verified to the smallest detail. Sporty hard seats with excellent lateral support

Everything familiar and familiar ends when the gaze falls on the central tunnel between the front seats. Around the PDK selector, they placed a scattering of keys similar to the keyboards of luxury Vertu phones. A tribute to business class. Stylish, but it takes days to learn how to use these keys blindly.

The key, as befits a business class, is in the pocket, but the Panamera is Porsche-style starting with the handle to the left of the steering wheel. The rear sofa is molded strictly for two passengers, in the arsenal of which there is an adjustment of the backrest tilt and the length of the pillow, as well as a pair of convenient boxes for storing small items, two cup holders and individual microclimate controls. There is plenty of room for bosses unless they are the leaders of the basketball team.

By the way, the 500-horsepower engine with minimal tuning changes was borrowed from the Cayenne Turbo. The basic equipment offers a 7-speed robotic transmission with two clutches Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) and Porsche Traction Management (PTM) with four-wheel drive and an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch, the locking range of which is from zero to one hundred percent.

The boot volume is 432 liters (13 liters more in the atmospheric version), and if you fold the rear row of seats, the Porsche Panamera can turn into a practical hatchback and take on board 1250 liters of cargo. The rear door is equipped with a servo drive. Under the floor, you will not find a spare tire or a stowaway - only a repair kit, a compressor and a large amplifier for the optional Burmister audio system.

Powerful rear rear, familiar silhouette of LED lights and multi-track front and rear axles

I turn the coveted knob to the left of the steering wheel, the tachometer needle soars up, and a pleasant vibration of the mighty V8 runs through the body. The PDK selector is in Drive mode, and the nearly 5m hatchback starts to pull out of the parking lot. Already the first kilometers of the journey showed that the Panamera is not an ultimate sports car, like the 911 family, but a quite comfortable AW car. The steering wheel is lighter, the reactions are calmer, the suspension is softer.

In normal mode, you can safely move through the urban jungle or drive along the highway outside the city, without experiencing the discomfort of the oak suspension. The only thing that reminds of the sporting spirit is the chassis' close attention to road trifles, be it small cracks in the asphalt or slight ripples on the surface. In addition, too long pauses when switching the box to lower stages are annoying.

The character changes if you find the Sport key on the keyboard of the improvised Vertu. Now the PDK box reacts more quickly to the driver's whims, and the suspension is filled with the same “Porsche” elasticity. However, you can find a common language with the PDK transmission without switching to sport mode. To do this, literally a second before overtaking, you need to briefly stomp on the tight accelerator pedal, and the box will immediately jump a couple of steps down, giving the driver a carte blanche of 500 hp. under the hood. And they are quite enough to make a small leap in time, while experiencing completely unearthly overloads. In addition, even when not in combat mode, if the selector is in the AW position of the tomato mode, for the fastest dash, you can manually change gears using the switches.

In "sports" everything is different. Here it is, the real Stuttgart spirit! Reactions have become aggravated, the suspension has tightened, and the box has taken aim and now does not sin with delays. At the same time, the Panamera is still moderately comfortable. Only the notorious trifle on the road annoys passengers in the cabin even more.

And with what a juicy smack the big Porsche is screwed into a turn! Bearing in mind the almost two-ton weight, before entering the turn, we perform a slightly larger turn of the steering wheel, and with a slight roll, the impressive hatchback obediently fulfills the driver's wishes. Of course, this is not the surgical precision of a mid-engined Porsche Cayman or the mother of the Carrera. The Panamera must be guided by weight. And if you do everything a split second earlier than common sense suggests, then ... here it is, "Porsche" controllability! Outstanding arc stability. You can also turn on the gas - the Panamera Turbo is already “in the base” equipped with an active all-wheel drive transmission with a connected front axle and an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch that distributes the moment between the rear wheels. As a result - an amazing "grip" when cornering at an exorbitant speed. And what if we add more? No, I probably won't.

At home on the Porsche Panamera straight. Excellent stability at any speed, sporty effort on the three-spoke steering wheel and a crisp response to any steering movement. High! I wish I could try Panamera on the perfect German AW tobahn. With the advent of AW rut, the car starts to get nervous: 20-inch optional wheels with wide tires require the utmost concentration and attention of the steering.

On a straight line - crazy acceleration throughout the rev range. Pedal to the floor - and the Panamera rushes forward with the ease of a cheetah that sees its prey. And with the Sport Chrono Plus Package, you can fully experience the turbocharged power that throws Porsche into the attack at lightning speed. The right foot is on the accelerator, the left foot is on the brake, Launch Control Activated lights up on the dashboard, a short-term 10% increase in boost pressure occurs in the interior of the engine, and the torque increases by 70 Nm (from 700 to 770 Nm). Another second. Hit! Porsche fires, erasing time lines. Everyone who stood next to him immediately disappeared into the rear-view mirror. No joke, 4 seconds to "hundreds". Passengers are pressed into the seats worse than at the start of the plane.

With Sport Plus on, the Panamera shrinks, the suspension hardens, the reactions are sharpened to the limit, and the big hatchback looks like a 911 series supersport. And only a slightly more imposing steering wheel and increased weight give out a business-oriented hatchback, disguised as a sports car skin with just one key on an improvised Vertu keyboard. Real power!

Price: from 6,218,000 rubles.

The first generation model was released in 2009. Sports fastback became popular very quickly, not least thanks to the company's marketing policy. The car got its name thanks to the successful performances of Porsche in the Carrera Panamericana races. It is worth noting that this would be a very good move, since already before 2010, 26,000 cars were successfully sold, and this is taking into account their high cost.

In mid-2013, the developers slightly modernized the model and, even then it became clear that the release of the second generation was not far off.

And it really happened. In the summer of 2016, the public saw a photo of an improved model of the Porsche Panamera 2019. A few days later, the official presentation of the car took place in Berlin.

As predicted in advance, the car gained a lot of popularity and certainly did not spoil the reputation of its manufacturers. Many motorists from all over the world immediately purchased a new model and, what is most interesting, neither from the words of experts, nor from the words of ordinary owners, there was no strong criticism. And this fact, no doubt, means a lot.

Design

Of course, it is immediately noticeable that the exterior is very similar to the design of a similar model of the first generation. But, it is noticeable that the body has become more elegant and modern.

From the front, the car has a breathtaking view. The front optics consists entirely of LEDs. Aggressive and "muscular" bumper of fantastic streamline shape immediately attracts attention and delights.

The rear of the new car is equipped with modern marker lights. It should be noted that both lights are connected by an LED line, which, as it were, underlines the Porsche lettering. This effect is not unique to this version and has already been used in other Porsche lineups.

Dimensions Porsche Panamera

The developers used the modular MSB platform. This move allowed the car to reduce its weight, in comparison with the first generation car, by an average of 100 kg. At first glance, a minor change - so many may argue, but the effect of this is simply fantastic. The company's engineering solutions have always been distinguished by their simplicity and genius.

The design is based on heavy-duty steel and traditional, for high-speed cars, aluminum.

Depending on the configuration of the model, the curb weight ranges from 1800 kg to 1900 kg.

The length of the new model has grown by 3.4 cm, as well as the width - 0.6 cm. The car has become taller by 0.5 cm. The size of the wheelbase has also increased by 3 cm.

Actual dimensions:

• Length - 5049 mm;
• Width - 1937 mm;
• Height - 1423 mm;
• The wheelbase is 2950 mm.

Salon

The salon of the second generation is very similar to the salon of a similar model of the first generation. Optionally, however, it is far superior to its "father" and boasts a large selection of equipment.

The instrument model of the Porsche Panamera 2018-2019 is made in a "space style" with pronounced classic features. It is worth noting as many as two seven-inch displays, which are designed to monitor the functional state of the car. In addition, a multimedia display (PCM system) with a diagonal length of 12.3 inches is installed.

The developers have paid special attention to the convenience of the driver and passengers. In addition to the front row, the rear row is also equipped with special touch consoles, thanks to which each passenger can individually adjust a number of parameters (multimedia, climate control, seat adjustment, etc.). This approach helped to unload the dashboard from multiple buttons.

Also worth noting is the spaciousness of the cabin. The driver and front passenger traditionally have plenty of personal space both in this model and in the previous generation model. Back row passengers can feel the changes that have occurred since the release of the new model. Now each seat back is separate and the tilt level can be adjusted individually. Also, due to the increased wheelbase, more legroom is given.

A big plus is the good capacity of the luggage compartment. In the new Porsche model, the boot volume is 495 liters, and with the row of seats folded down - as much as 1304 liters.

Specifications Porsche Panamera

A type	Volume	Power	Torque	Overclocking	Maximum speed	Number of cylinders
Diesel	4.0 l	422 h.p.	850 H * m	4.5 sec.	285 km / h	8
Petrol	2.9 l	440 h.p.	550 H * m	4.4 sec.	289 km / h	V6
Petrol	4.0 l	550 h.p.	770 H * m	3.8 sec.	306 km / h	V8

Like any other German-made car, the car is produced using a technology that will not give rise to doubts about the reliability and quality of the model.

The new car uses turbocharged V6 and V8 engines, as well as a power hybrid for the hybrid modification of the model.

Also, in all modifications of the model, an eight-speed gearbox is used.

At the moment, there are models with two types of gasoline engines and one diesel version on sale:

1. Turbo with a 4-liter V8 biturbo engine. It is capable of producing 550 horsepower at 770 Nm. The acceleration time from zero to hundreds of kilometers per hour is only 3.8 s, but with the help of the available SC function, this figure can be reduced by 0.2 s. The maximum acceleration speed is 306 km / h, with a consumption of 9.4 liters.
2. Porsche Panamera 2019-2020 4S with a V6 biturbo engine, with a volume of 2.9 liters, which is capable of producing 440 horsepower at 550 Nm. Acceleration time from zero to hundred - 4.4 s. The maximum acceleration speed is 300 km / h, with a consumption of 8.2 liters.
3. 4S Diesel with V8 diesel twin-turbo engine. It is capable of producing 422 horsepower at 850 Nm. Acceleration time from zero to hundred - 4.5 s. The maximum acceleration speed is 285 km / h. Fuel consumption - 6.8 liters.

This is an expensive car, it seems to many that it is greatly overvalued. In fact, after sitting in the model, you will understand that every ruble is present here. For the basic version, the buyer asks for 6,218,000 rubles, already perfectly equipped with:

• electrically adjustable seats;
• keyless entry system;
• climate control;
• electric boot lid;
• heated all seats;
• cruise control;
• multimedia with navigation;
• combined interior trim;
• lED optics with light sensor;
• 19-inch wheels.

In various trim levels, the equipment will be improved, but the maximum can only be achieved with options. "Maximum fat" costs 15 million rubles. List of options:

• memory of electrical adjustments;
• adaptive cruise;
• ventilation of all seats;
• pre-start heater;
• all-round visibility system;
• rear multimedia displays;
• night vision system;
• lane control;
• a roof with a panoramic view;
• electric adjustment of all seats.

This is a luxury car that is urban on one side and sporty on the other. It will be good for a young guy, especially since Panamera is liked by the female audience.

In August 2009, the Porsche concern presented a new model, which continued after the Macan and Cayenne the "test of the pen" in 5-door versions of the cabin - the Porsche Panamera. According to legend, the model received its name in honor of the successful performances of Porsche cars in the Carrera Panamericana race in the 50s of the last century. Taking a look at the Porsche Panamera, photos of which instantly flew around the world, you can easily recognize the Porsche corporate identity in everything, even in mirrors and door handles. The fastback body with a sloping roof, smoothly turning into the trunk lid, has muscular rear fenders, and heat-dissipating tunnels hide in the stylish forms of the front fenders.

Panamera - a luxury sports car

This model was intended to take its place in the Gran Turismo class (cars for fast and comfortable movement). Therefore, the primary focus was on its high-speed and aerodynamic qualities. Thanks to the sloping roof and flat bottom, the car provided a frontal contact coefficient of 0.29, and a retractable spoiler was installed at the rear, providing additional downforce of more than 650 N at high speeds. minimized by the use of a range of steel grades, magnesium and aluminum alloys. At the same time, its high strength is preserved.

The chassis of the car is equipped with a "formula" double wishbone suspension, which comes as standard on coil springs with lateral stabilizers. But at the request of the customer, it is equipped with an air suspension with electronic adjustment of the shock absorber stiffness, which ensures an almost perfect ride. The driver can adjust the chassis height depending on the driving speed and the terrain on which he is driving.

Now we can move on to what is hidden under the hood. Above we gave brief technical characteristics of the Porsche Panamera, where the engine displacement range was indicated from 3 to 4.8 liters. This run is associated with various modifications, which now is the time to mention. Initially, the model was presented in 3 versions: S- with a naturally-aspirated V8 engine, 4.8L (400hp), rear-wheel drive and a 6-speed manual gearbox; 4S - with a similar engine, all-wheel drive, transmission in the form 7-speed gearbox PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung) with two clutches; Turbo - 4.8l V8 engine, turbocharged (500hp), four-wheel drive, transmission in the form of 7-speed gearbox PDK with two clutches.

In April 2013, Porsche introduced an updated Porsche Panamera lineup, which already had 12 modifications. The basic models S and 4S hardly touched on the outside, but significantly changed them from the inside: they received a 3-liter V6 engine with 2 turbines, with a capacity of 420hp. and increased torque. This allowed to increase the power of the car, but at the same time to reduce fuel consumption by 18%. In addition, they received one more modification each with an Executive attachment, with a body extended by 15 cm. This lengthening extends to the rear passengers' space, making them even more comfortable in the sports car. In addition, there are two new modifications: Diesel and S E-Hybrid. And if the diesel version (engine volume 3l, 250hp) is not surprising to anyone, then the hybrid modification, which has a 3-liter V6 engine, a 95-horsepower electric motor and lithium-ion batteries, with a capacity of 9.4 kWh, has become the world's first luxury hybrid model. In fairness, it should be noted that the hybrid model appeared a little earlier (in 2011), but its technical characteristics were much more modest than the restyled one: the electric motor was only 47-horsepower and the capacity of the nickel-metal hydride batteries was only 1.7 kWh. The current modifications received a total power - a solid 416 hp. On the internet, some of the most popular videos of the Porsche Panamera are the S E-Hybrid, compared to various hybrid versions of other brands, including the Tesla Model S.

The brake discs on the S version have a diameter of 360 mm at the front and 330 mm at the rear. The Turbo version has enlarged rotors - 390 and 350 mm in size, respectively. For a surcharge, you can install ceramic discs that will match the powerful power unit. In the video of the Porsche Panamera with the presented model range, it is noticeable that visually the modifications can be distinguished precisely by the color of the brake calipers: gray - the basic version, red - Turbo, yellow - has an optional "ceramic", green - a hybrid.

Porsche and Porsche in Africa

The Porsche would not be itself if it only settled on the almost perfect exterior of the car, providing it with crazy speed qualities. The interior of the Panamera is not inferior to its appearance. As befits a luxury car, it combines captivating luxury with a sports car ambiance. There is no plastic in the interior trim, only leather, wood and metal. In front of the driver is a classic Porsche dashboard with 4 informative dials and a display that displays information from the on-board computer and navigation maps. The number of buttons located on the transmission tunnel puts an unusual user into a stupor. But when you figure it out, you realize that the keys are located very ergonomically, are divided according to their functional purpose and have clear designations. With their help, you can change the settings of the suspension, air conditioning and even change the sound of the engine!

Considering that cars like Porsches are purchased by lovers of aggressive and high-speed driving style, comfort and convenience for passengers in the back does not hurt at all. Test drive videos of the Porsche Panamera look curious, where at a speed of 250 km / h passengers in a panic try to grab onto everything that comes under their hands. At the disposal of 2 rear passengers, instead of the 3rd passenger, there is a tunnel in the center with an incredible number of adjustments and buttons. And the fact that in Panamera passengers can feel imposingly, significantly distinguishes it from the 911th.

Porsche Panamera - model description

General vehicle information

The Porsche Panamera is a 5-door 4-seat GT (Gran Turismo) hatchback, produced since 2009. Available in two versions: with four-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive. Produced at the company's plant in the German city of Leipzig.

There are also Panamera S, Panamera 4S and Panamera Turbo versions.

The idea of \u200b\u200bcreating a representative five-door car from the units of classic sports cars originated at Porsche back in 1988, when the only copy of the 989 appeared.

The Porsche Panamera was presented only in 2009 at the Shanghai Motor Show. In 2011, diesel and hybrid versions appeared. Porsche AG Chief Designer Michael Mauer was responsible for the appearance of the hatchback. He started his career as a designer at Mercedes-Benz and led the design work for the first generation of the SLK.

Technical features

The Panamera's body is welded from ultra-strong hot-formed steel, the front side members are made of aluminum and are riveted to the steel parts with anti-corrosion gaskets. Aluminum is also used in the manufacture of all vehicle attachments.

Thanks to the unconventional front-engine layout for this brand, the engineers managed to allocate space in the rear of the car for a trunk large enough for a sports car - 466 liters.

The suspension is electronically controlled, the robotic gearbox has a PDK dual clutch, and the Panamera range of engines is borrowed from the Porsche Cayenne. Also, the hatchback received from the Boxter S a control system for forward flow in the exhaust system: it allows you to open it, which adds a characteristic "growl" to the car, and close it in order not to exceed the noise level permissible in urban conditions.

A characteristic feature of the car is the rear wing. It is powered by an intelligent system. At speeds over 90 km / h, the wing rises. If the speed exceeds 205 km / h, the system increases the angle of attack of the wing: it lengthens due to the retractable additional section and changes the angle of inclination.

The Panamera differs from modern cars in that each electronic system has its own control button - in other words, each button is responsible for one specific function. Panamera does not have a menu inherent in a modern car and all kinds of submenus.

Pros and cons versus classmates

This car was primarily built as a true Porsche - in addition to the recognizable body lines, it received all the same rear window in the form of a trapezium as the classic 911, the same headlights, cover and hood lines. The interior also has the spirit of a true Porsche - from the sports bucket seats and low-slung seats to the arrangement and appearance of the instruments in the wood-trimmed dashboard. The special feature of the electronic control in the Panamera has its advantage - simplicity. On the other hand, from this the console, taken out to the central tunnel, is overloaded with buttons, albeit logically located. In this, it differs significantly from its classmates, in which manufacturers, on the contrary, seek to optimize system control by reducing the number of buttons and other switches.

At the same time, the massiveness of the car itself and the spaciousness in the cabin indicate that the Panamera belongs to the Gran Turismo class.

The car got its name from the name of the Carrera Panamericana racing series, in which Porsche cars took part and won with the 550 RS Spyder in the 50s.

In motorsport

In 2013, two Porsche Panamera S cars will enter the Italian Superstars series. This is a circuit racing championship in which many famous drivers take part, including those from Formula 1: Mika Solo, Gianfranco Fisichella, Vitantonio Liuzzi, Gianni Morbidelli, Johnny Herbert and Christian Wedge. The sports car championship will be prepared by the Petri Corse team, which has been cooperating with the German manufacturer for a long time. The main competitors of the Porsche Panamera will be the Mercedes-Benz C 36 AMG, Maserati Quattroporte, Audi RS5 and BMW M3.

The Panamera has previously participated in this racing series - in 2010, the Italian Fabrizio Giovanardi won the car four times.

Figures and awards

In the first year of world sales, more than 25 thousand cars were sold, which is an excellent indicator in this price segment.

The Porsche Panamera has been named Best New Prestige Car by the Association of Automotive Journalists of Canada (AJAC). The jury was impressed by the dynamics of the most powerful version of the Panamera Turbo.

The editors of the popular American Internet portal Inside Line, whose audience surpasses the audience of any print car publication, gave Panamera the title of "Most Desired Car of the Year".

The vehicle of the year was voted Car of the Year by the jury at Vehicle Dynamics International, as well as the most dynamic car of the year for its balanced chassis, handling and comfort.

The American Federation of Automobile Publications (81 journalists from 21 countries in South and Central America) awarded the Panamera the title of “Car of the Year 2010”.

Ferdinand Porsche himself dreamed about the creation of a four-seater Gran Turismo for a long time ... It did not grow together - Porsche has never been serially born with anything similar. I remember in the late eighties the company made an attempt to bring to light the Panamera five-door four-seater coupe. But then (this was 1988) further experimental development, which received the index 989, did not move ... The history of the creation of a full-fledged four-seat Gran Turismo was continued only eighteen years later.

The Panamera name comes from the name of the La Carrera Panamericana rally (held from 1950 to 1955 and was considered damn dangerous), in which Porsche took part and showed good results. Pan-American is also called the network of roads with a total length of about 48,000 kilometers that connects the Americas. The Pan-American Highway takes you from Argentina to Alaska!

Before the "personal" acquaintance, the appearance of Panamera did not really catch me. But when I first saw her alive in the parking lot near the Munich airport (there was the start of our test route), my opinion about her appearance changed radically ... I felt the spirit that I could not catch through the plane of photographs before ...

Serial Panamera was first shown to the public at the Shanghai Motor Show this spring

Standing next to me - already goosebumps. This long nose with the characteristic curvature of the front wings! These hips. This sloping roof! Solid sex. Not to be confused with anything. Porsche - not to give, not to take ... Mercedes CLS, Aston Martin Rapide (planned to launch in 2010) and Maserati Quattroporte will have a hard time. Tremble, Mercedes S-Class and BMW Seven. Tremble, Bentley Continental GT, Jaguar XK, Mercedes CL, and BMW Six! You will not be left in this composition for long. On September 12, Panamera will begin to take competitors away from you.

The basic Panamera has 245/50 ZR18 and 275/45 ZR18 wheels. More "sophisticated" modifications have a wheel variety in the front dimension 255/40 ZR20 - 295/35 ZR20 at the rear. Just like a rear- or mid-engined sports car

Formally, the Panamera is a four-seater five-door hatchback. But the developers are positioning it as something out of class and out of genre in general, indiscreetly pointing out that Panamera is the founder of a new clan of luxury cars. It's hard to argue with that.

The Panamera is damn wide at 1931 mm, which is about 60 mm wider than the Mercedes S-Class and 29 mm wider than the BMW 7 Series! Can you imagine what it is like to move around in Panamera in traffic jams and wade through narrow streets? When you sit inside, and when you look at the car from the side, it seems that it occupies the entire lane, and on narrow German lanes, my "claustrophobia" has generally worsened to an extreme degree. But on the autobahns, no problems arose. Panamera is pure Gran Turismo. The most comfortable seats, excellent comfort and appropriate range (if not "fry" - about 1000 km on one tank). It is simply designed to conquer long distances. Loading a few bulky suitcases into the 445-liter trunk and crossing Europe with a driver or a group of four without bothering with connecting flights is a nice thing.

Cars equipped with PDK can be ordered with Start Stop. In city mode, it saves up to 10 percent on fuel. It is worth stopping, the engine will immediately turn off. It will start when you touch the gas pedal

Despite the relatively small wheelbase of 2920 mm (115 mm shorter than the Mercedes-Benz S-class and 150 mm shorter than the BMW 7), there is no shortage of free space in the cabin. Overhead, even tall passengers will always have a fair amount of space. All riders are reclining. The set and range of adjustments for the front seats are enormous - the length of the cushion, the lumbar support, the configuration of the lateral support rollers on the backrest and cushion changes ... The tilt of the backs of the rear seats is also adjustable - within six degrees. If you properly adjust the seats to your shape, you can tirelessly spend at least 12 hours in a row on the road.

Bi-xenon headlights in the "base". The light for an additional charge can be adaptive, in which case the brightness of the spot and the shape of the cut-off line of the dipped beam change depending on the driving speed. Such headlights also know how to look into turns. Four daytime running light diodes are integrated into the main headlamp

The suspension has a magical property to protect those sitting from everything that happens under the wheels. No jolts, vibrations and little things from the road surface. The roads seem to smooth out by themselves. Only after the milestone of 200 kilometers per hour, sound from tires and aerodynamic noises begins to penetrate into the cabin.

Inside, discreet luxury is the realm of natural materials. The number of finishes is huge. The skin is creamy, caramel, brown, classic black, beige ... White top, black bottom. Dark blue top, milky bottom ... Choice of inserts in carbon and aluminum, stained ash, walnut and cherry - lacquered or simply polished. The weather for each of the riders is ready to do an optional four-zone climate control (in the "base" two-zone for the front riders). In cheaper versions, the traditional Porsche 5.1 Bose cinema system with a subwoofer delights the ear. However, whoever wants a better sound can order a 1000-watt Burmester acoustics of a higher class instead of the 585-watt Bose. The sound she gives out is more dynamic and structured, on good recordings, although not fully, it gives an idea of \u200b\u200bthe stage space.

Visibility is normal forward and sides. Information about the traffic situation in the back has to be literally fished out by a square centimeter. The side mirrors and the rear window seem to have been made tiny on purpose, guided by the principle that, they say, the Panamera will always be faster than any passing vehicle

The driving position is another story. The steering wheel is from a Porsche 911 (the gearshift keys, by the way, are uncomfortable on it - they provoke a wrong grip). On the board, like on a skewer, five instruments are lined up, the main among them is definitely a tachometer. To the left of it is a speedometer with a "millimeter" scale, to the right is an auxiliary LCD "window", on which "navigation" readings and a number of important parameters are displayed on demand. The Vertu-style center tunnel has slanted keys for chassis and secondary functions.

The chassis designers have surprisingly managed to combine long-distance ride comfort with maximum sporty style. True, not all motors can justify this style. At least a 300-strong "six", which will appear with some delay, for sure ... Panamera can be very different. The mechatronic chassis provides the widest range of settings. The driver, going through the Normal, Sport and Sport Plus modes (the latter is available as part of the Sport Chrono Package), plays with the elastic characteristics of the pneumatic elements and active stabilizers PDCC (Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control), as well as the resistance of the PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) shock absorbers. With a couple of keystrokes, the most comfortable Gran Turismo can be turned into an almost sports car with almost razor control. Why "practically" and "almost"? Mass, friends, and impressive moments of inertia. Along with the chassis settings, the behavior of the engine and gearbox changes, in Sport and Sport Plus the reactions to the operation of the gas pedal are much faster.

The rear door is automatic, it opens and closes with an electric drive

The elastic pneumatic elements in the suspension are not quite simple here - they are two-chamber. Two independent cameras work together in Normal and Sport modes. The large total volume effectively dampens unevenness and ensures a better ride. In Sport Plus mode, a special solenoid valve turns off one of the chambers - the suspension becomes stiffer (in this case, the active stabilizers are also maximally elastic) and the car, in addition, "squats" by 25 mm (the center of gravity decreases). On bends, the Panamera rolls much less and becomes more responsive. The body can be forcibly raised by 20 mm relative to the average condition, for example, to overcome a broken road section. The body will automatically lower to its original position upon reaching a speed of 30 km / h.

For those who don't need such technical difficulties, a spring suspension with conventional anti-roll bars is in store, but PASM shock absorbers with adjustable stiffness in its composition will be early on.

Unfortunately, this model is unique in its price range or is no longer available.

How did the Panamera get its name?
Porsche has made Carrera Panamericana racing history with the new 550 RS Spyder. The Panamera name retains the memory of the famous racing - in the genes of this car too.

In 1952, at the Paris Motor Show, the company Porsche first introduced the world to the model 550 Spyder with a constructed Ernst Furman engine with four camshafts, four-speed gearbox and differential lock.

The car immediately became popular, with the proportional body shape evoking particular admiration. The body was made of lightweight metal and showed perfect lines from front to rear - the so-called monocoque body with a space frame.

The frame was welded from pipes. The air-cooled, 1,500 cc four-cylinder engine (corporate name 547) was fitted with four overhead camshafts and produced 110 hp. at 7800 rpm.

Continuous modernization up to 1961 made the car Porsche's trump card in sports.

So, in the early 50s, a road race took place in Mexico Carrera panamericana, and the length of the route was 3000 km. Here, initially unwillingly, the company Porsche wrote a chapter in racing history.

In 1954, the first priority was to prove the efficiency of the new, powerful 117 hp engine installed in the 550 Spyder. with four camshafts. An innovation was the first sponsorship of the Porsche factory body painting by Fletcher and Telefunken, which assisted the head of the scientific department Huschke von Hanstein to participate in the Mexican races.

With the passenger seat covered, the Spyder developed on long straight sections of the track Carrera panamericana maximum speed over 200 km / h. Due to its low weight, it outperformed many competitors with a large displacement.

Following the two Ferrari creations, Hans Herrmann finished third and Jaroslav Johan fourth in the overall team standings, an impressive double win in the sports car class up to 1500cc.

Panamericana (Carretera Panamericana) is a highway system that - with small gaps - connects Alaska with Tierra del Fuego, that is, it stretches across the entire north-south direction of the American continent and covers an area of \u200b\u200balmost 48,000 km.

After the Mexican part of Panamericana was completed in the early 50s, it was "highlighted" by a multi-day race that took place in the country in several stages. The Carrera Panamericana was run on public roads in the same way as the Mille Miglia and Targa Florio in Italy. The 3436 km route ran from the northern to the southern border of Mexico and was thus 2 times longer than the Mille Miglia. Like the latter, it was created to host the sports car world championship.

The race consisted of nine stages that began in the city of Ciudad Juarez and went through Chihuahua, Parral, Durango, Leon, Mexico City, Pueblo, Oaxaca, Tuxtla and Ocotal. The race started on May 5, 1950, and the destination was reached 6 days later on May 10. Only five-seater production limousines were allowed to participate in the first races in 1950. In subsequent years Carrera panamericana moved from south to north, the classes of cars allowed to race were expanded.

In 1954, Porsche surprised with the 550 Spyder: Hans Herrmann and Jaroslav Johan took important third and fourth places in the overall team classification, thus securing victory in the sports car class.

In honor of successful racing Carrera panamericana Porsche later gave several models a name Carrera... The origins of the name of the new car Panamera also to be looked for in this legendary race.

Quick jump to sections

The main figures characterizing the new Porsche Panamera 4S of the second generation are as follows. It accelerates from zero to hundreds in 4.2 seconds. The engine has two turbines and produces 440 hp. power and 550 Nm of torque. So there are no questions about the Porsche Panamera 4S in this part.

Questions can only arise about the appearance of the car, which is too reminiscent of another model of the same brand, namely the sports car 911. Indeed, from some angles the new Porsche Panamera is a poured 911. The five-door hatchback seems to have borrowed from the firm's iconic spor-coupe side glazing and architecture front. However, the Germans argue that the new Panamera just gives the impression that it was copied from the 911, but in fact it is not. However, the fans of the brand have a new silhouette that causes not so much bewilderment as admiration.

The length of the 2017 Porsche Panamera increased by 34 mm, with 30 of them going to increase the wheelbase. The width has increased by 6 mm and the height by 5 mm. The last figure could not have been betrayed at all, if not for one circumstance. In the second row, the roof is now 20 mm lower. As the creators assure, it was possible to do this without prejudice to the internal space.

There really is no more space above the head than in some family hatchbacks, but sit behind the driver, if you can complain about anything, it is only about some tightness in the area of \u200b\u200bthe feet.

Salon interior

But the creators of the new Panamera have come up with a lot of things to entertain those who did not get a place behind the wheel. So, between the chairs there is a multimedia screen with which you can control everything that happens in the entertainment center, for example, change tracks or start a video. But it will be much more interesting to deal with climate control. The fact is that there are no flags or levers on the deflectors, with the help of which the direction of the air flows could be changed. This is done only with the help of a touchscreen.

Another fun is the inter-seat box. There are also two chargers for gadgets. The mechanism of the cupholders is also curious, which can be removed, opened additional stops, and then closed them back.

Another curious fact. Behind the second row is 495 liters of luggage volume, and by transforming the cabin, this space can be increased to 1300 liters. In general, those who made the new Porsche Panamera were clearly trying to inform us that they love those who sit in the back and luggage no less than the person behind the wheel.

Driver's seat

There are only two analog devices left: a stopwatch under the windshield and a tachometer. To the left and right of the tachometer are two seven-inch displays, which replace two gauges each and add up to five classic Porsche dials. However, the content can be changed at your own discretion. For example, you can replace two of them with a navigator screen. In the center is a 12.3-inch display. It is sensitive to touch, which means you can control almost anything with it.

The Porsche Communication Management infotainment system has been very clever and intuitive before, and now it has grown even more intelligent. For example, with its help, you can not only configure all the parameters of the 2017 Porsche Panamera, but also find out, for example, the weather at the destination, look at the airport board, and all this works at a speed that is not inferior to a modern smartphone.

The creators seem to have fallen in love with their own creation so much that they have transferred almost all functions to it. For example, a change in clearance and a forced lift of the wing now also needs to be searched for in the menu. There are no real buttons for this.

For those who love controllers, there is a round thing here that you can click and with which you can really control something. Although perhaps this is just a rudiment, saying that the era of individual buttons is finally becoming a thing of the past. Plastic, backlash disappears from the interiors of expensive cars, everything that prevented you from enjoying the money spent. And here in the new Panamera, this feeling of well-made things is incredibly strong.

It is complemented by a "glass" console, which displays icons that you can click on. Particularly pleasing are the two segments that work like touchpads on Apple computers. They are pressed entirely, but you understand what exactly you pressed.

In general, the interior of the new Porsche Panamera is an outlandish combination of the dreams of science fiction writers twenty years ago and the works of modern sculptors. You can spend more than one hour studying this decoration.

Power unit

Thanks to the increase in the wheelbase, it was possible to shift the interior a little back. The motor is now positioned strictly above the front axle, and the gearbox ends at approximately the driver's knee. All three engines, two petrol and one diesel, are brand new and all turbocharged. Admittedly, this devalues \u200b\u200bthe Turbo model somewhat.

On a test drive was a 2017 Porsche Panamera 4S with a three-liter engine and two turbines. It is interesting in that the tubes are located in the camber of the cylinder block and rotate in different directions to reduce vibration. Torque from the engine is transmitted through a new PDK, eight-speed and four-shaft. We can say that these are two two-shaft boxes combined into one body.

In those modifications that are available on the Russian market, the drive is strictly full. It is this all-wheel drive that levels the main news associated with the second generation Panamera. The bottom line is that this car is built on a new platform called MSB. If you decipher this name and translate it from German, you get a modular platform for cars of a classic or standard layout. That is, with an engine in the front and a drive to the rear axle. This is surprising, because Porsche has not been producing such cars for a long time, and the Volkswagen concern itself for a long time. Apparently in the coming years, some interesting news will follow from this.

Suspensions and comfort

Both the front "double wishbone" (wishbone) and the rear multi-link, work in collaboration with three-chamber pneumatic elements, which endow a very weighty car with a very decent ride. It's time to ask the question: how much is the new Porsche Panamera lighter than its predecessor? The answer is: not at all. Panamera 4S of the first and second generation has a curb weight of 1870 kg, which is quite a lot.

It turns out that with such a mass you can go, and quite quickly. To do this, just turn the rotary mode selector. The same one that originally appeared on the 918, and then migrated from there to Carrera. Every quarter turn, every click that marks the transition from Normal to Sport and from there to Sport Plus, reduces the number of active chambers in the air struts, making the damping more rigid.

All 440 "horses", hidden under the hood, start to work at full power, and the gear shift time is close to zero. There is an easier way to get the engine angry by pressing the Sport Response button. Then all systems of the car are mobilized for 20 seconds in order to be able to overtake someone or just surprise. Only in this mode of "increased viciousness" and you realize that the V6 of the new Panamera is very similar to the boxer of the updated Carrera. And in numbers, the motors are very similar and even the maximum torque is reached at about the same level.

Dynamics and control

It turns out that not only designers, but also minders were forced to be inspired by the best product of the brand. Does this mean that Panamera rides as well as 911? Nothing like this. The difference in weight is three centners, and they make themselves felt. Driving this car does not leave the feeling of weight.

Squeezed suspension and almost absent rolls cannot correct the situation. The corners are where the feel of this rather heavy car straddles. On the one hand, this car has a very decent ride. On the other hand, there is inertia and it is felt.

Still, driving a Porsche Panamera on a mountain serpentine or on a race track is not so much fun as hard work. The Porsche Panamera 4S is designed for a completely different ride. Also fast, but not fussy, but more measured. In principle, this is the embodiment of the idea of \u200b\u200b"Grand Turismo".

This is precisely the fundamental difference between two cars with a different number of doors and almost the same price. If the 911 was created in order to maximally concentrate drivers on driving, then the 2017 Porsche Panamera was created in order to relax it as much as possible, to remove it as much as possible from the moment, from the need for instant reactions and allow the driver to simply enjoy the world around him. The price of a Porsche Panamera is 8,362,000 rubles.
