Body Dimensions: 4970mm (L) x 1930mm (W) x 1420mm (H)

The "Panamera," Porsche's fourth model following the 911, Boxster/Cayman, and Cayenne, is a four-door grand tourer. Its defining characteristic is the realization of Porsche's signature exhilarating performance and the practicality for four adults to travel in comfort, all within a 5-door hatchback body measuring 4970mm (L) x 1930mm (W) x 1420mm (H) with a 2920mm wheelbase.

With the Panamera, Porsche enters the highly competitive full-size premium sedan market, challenging rivals such as the Mercedes S-Class, BMW 7 Series, and Audi A8.

Two powertrain options are available. The 4806cc V8 engine in the "Panamera S" and "Panamera 4S" produces a maximum output of 294kW and a peak torque of 500Nm. Meanwhile, the top-tier "Panamera Turbo" features a twin-turbo version of the same unit, delivering 368kW of maximum output and 700Nm of peak torque. Both engines incorporate cutting-edge technologies like Porsche's VarioCam Plus, Direct Fuel Injection, and an idle-stop function.

Prices Range from 13.74 to 20.61 Million Yen

The transmission utilizes Porsche's renowned twin-clutch system, the "Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK)." Furthermore, the Panamera 4S and Panamera Turbo are equipped with the intelligent all-wheel-drive system "Porsche Traction Management (PTM)," which ensures optimal torque distribution between the front and rear axles.

The exterior design, with its subtly arched front fenders and pronounced rear fender flares that rise slightly above the bonnet line, clearly identifies it as a member of the Porsche family.

Inside, the cabin features four fully independent seats, offering ample legroom, headroom, and shoulder space. The luggage compartment boasts a capacity of 432 liters. With the split-folding rear seats folded down, this expands to an impressive 1250 liters, demonstrating the practicality expected of a full-size sedan.

Pricing starts at 13.74 million yen for the "Panamera S," 14.36 million yen for the "Panamera 4S," and 20.61 million yen for the "Panamera Turbo." Left-hand and right-hand drive options are available for all grades.

BRAND HISTORY

Porsche stands as a globally revered sports car marque, earning the admiration of skilled drivers worldwide. Its origins trace back to 1931 when Ferdinand Porsche, a brilliant engineer who distinguished himself from his twenties, established "Porsche Design Studio" in Stuttgart, Germany, after a tenure as technical director at Daimler. He subsequently undertook development projects for various automotive manufacturers. Among his most famous creations is the "Volkswagen Beetle," which played a significant role in motorization as Germany's "people's car."

The first car to bear his name as an automobile manufacturer was the "356," introduced in 1948. Since then, Porsche has released iconic sports cars like the "911," "924," and "928," while also dedicating significant efforts to motorsport. Their racing pedigree includes 16 victories at the grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans and three series championships as an engine supplier in Formula 1, testament to their engineering prowess and unwavering commitment to driving performance, which continues to resonate in their products today.

Currently, the lineup, including the "911"—which continues to be highly acclaimed as a top-tier sports car even 45 years after its debut—along with the open-top sports car "Boxster," its coupe counterpart the "Cayman," and the premium sports SUV "Cayenne," all enjoy immense popularity.
