A reinforcement for the sporty Gran Turismo by Porsche has arrived: the Panamera Diesel takes on the role of the long-distance runner capable of fast sprints as well. With a range in excess of 1,200 kilometers (745 miles) on a single refueling of 80 liters (21 gallons), it is an excellent choice as a remarkably economical long-distance sedan. Thanks to a fuel consumption with the optional low-friction tires of only 6.3 liters of diesel per 100 kilometers (37.34 mpg) according to the NEDC, this fi rst Porsche Gran Turismo with a diesel six-cylinder engine can drive from Berlin to Bologna—in purely arithmetical terms—on a single refueling stop. Yet the Panamera Diesel also manages short sprints with ease, as the three-liter V6 engine in conjunction with the highly effi cient eight-speed Tiptronic S delivers robust propulsive power.
With the new Panamera Turbo S top model, Porsche is raising the bar in this segment yet another notch higher. The 4.8-liter engine with bi-turbo charging produces 550 hp—ten percent more than the already very powerful engine of the Panamera Turbo. This power plant boosts the new top Panamera to record times in short bursts of speed—from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.8 seconds with the Launch Control feature—yet fuel consumption remains at the moderate level of the Panamera Turbo. And there is still plenty of torque: with the Sport Chrono Package, up to 800 Nm in the overboost function.
