Porsche Panamera (G2 II) Executive Turbo S: An Overview
The G2 II generation Panamera, launched in 2016 and receiving a significant refresh in 2020, built upon the success of the original Panamera by addressing criticisms regarding its interior and technology. The 2020 update brought a redesigned dashboard, a larger touchscreen infotainment system, and enhanced driver-assistance features. The Executive models, like the Turbo S detailed here, further elevate the experience with a focus on rear passenger comfort and convenience. This model is primarily sold in markets where large, luxurious sedans and liftbacks are favored, including North America, Europe, and parts of Asia.
Engine & Performance
At the heart of the Panamera Executive Turbo S lies a formidable 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, designated EA825 / MCV.DA. This powerplant delivers an impressive 630 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 820 Nm (604.8 lb.-ft.) of torque between 2300 and 4500 rpm. The engine features direct fuel injection and an intercooler to maximize efficiency and power output. Coupled with Porsche’s eight-speed PDK (Porsche Doppelkupplung) dual-clutch automatic transmission and an all-wheel-drive system, the Panamera Turbo S achieves breathtaking acceleration. It can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h (0-62 mph) in just 3.2 seconds, and 0 to 60 mph in 3.0 seconds, reaching a top speed of 315 km/h (195.73 mph). The engine’s power-to-weight ratio is an impressive 3.5 kg/Hp, and 288.3 Hp/tonne. The inclusion of a Start & Stop system and a particulate filter demonstrates Porsche’s commitment to reducing emissions, meeting Euro 6d-ISC-FCM standards with CO2 emissions ranging from 249-251 g/km.
Design & Features
The Panamera Executive Turbo S retains the distinctive liftback body style that has become synonymous with the Panamera nameplate. This design combines the practicality of a hatchback with the elegance of a coupe. The Executive variant adds 150mm to the wheelbase, providing significantly more legroom for rear passengers. The exterior design is characterized by sleek lines, a sloping roofline, and prominent air intakes. Inside, the cabin is lavishly appointed with high-quality materials, including leather upholstery, wood trim, and aluminum accents. Key features include a large touchscreen infotainment system, a fully digital instrument cluster, and a premium sound system. Advanced driver-assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking, enhance safety and convenience. The trunk offers a generous 467 liters (16.49 cu. ft.) of space, expanding to 1455 liters (51.38 cu. ft.) with the rear seats folded down.
