New Panamera GTS: four-door sports car feature

New Porsche Gran Turismo with 430 hp, all-wheel drive and sporty chassis - Stuttgart's sportiest Gran Turismo is leaving the pits: the Panamera GTS. The clue is in the name. At Porsche, GTS stands for Gran Turismo Sport, promising extraordinary Porsche performance ever since the legendary 904 Carrera GTS back in 1963.

More power and upgraded brakes, a body lowered by ten millimetres and the especially sportily tuned chassis with air suspension and PASM are the major technical modifications that make it the Panamera model capable of cutting it on the racing circuit -- without sacrificing practicality. The sportiest of all Panameras also conveys this to occupants and the outside world by its striking sound. In terms of looks, the new Panamera GTS signals its independence by distinctive design features in the front-end, side and rear area as well as black highlights. The interior as well is rigorously tailored to the sporty personality with sports seats, SportDesign steering wheel with shift paddles, exclusive GTS leather interior and Alcantara surfaces.

The power unit in the new Panamera GTS is a modified 4.8-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine, delivering 430 hp (316 kW) at 6,700 rpm, trumping the engine in its Panamera S/4S sister models by 30 hp (22 kW). The maximum torque also increased by comparison, from 500 Nm to 520 Nm. The way in which at the push of a button the Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) transmits the engine output to the all-wheel drive (PTM) -- thanks to the Sport Chrono package featured as standard without interruption to the power flow -- is especially dynamic. This collaboration enables the Panamera GTS to sprint to 100 km/h in under 4.5 seconds, accelerating on to its top speed of 288 km/h. With NEDC fuel consumption of 10.9 l/100 km -- only 10.7 l/100 km with low-friction tyres -- the Panamera GTS remains as much of an efficiency role model in its milieu as all Porsche models.

Despite many opposing opinions, i considered the previous year(s) models to be beautiful in all aspects of design, engineering and performance. Honestly this is one of my favorite four door saloons. An exceptional machine! It will undoubtedly be on this year's wishlist to Santa... and every year after that because as soon as Santa see's this he will never drive a sleigh again! Rudolph better learn to pull Porsche! haha
