The 2022 Panamera sedan couples Porsche's fun-to-drive attitude with a four-door body and a premium cabin to create a more balanced option for those who need space for kids and cargo. Most models come with a turbocharged V-6 but a 473-hp twin-turbo V-8 is also available, as is a plug-in hybrid with up to 552 horsepower.
V-8 Bragging Rights
Whereas the 4S uses a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V-6, the GTS gets the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V-8, just like the Turbo models. The GTS V-8's 455 horsepower, however, is closer to the output of the V-6 (440 horses in the 4S) than it is to the 550 ponies from the Turbo's V-8. Similarly, the GTS torque figure of 457 lb-ft, while 52 lb-ft beyond that of the 4S, is 110 lb-ft shy of the Turbo.
The GTS's 4.0-liter V-8 mates to an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive. Air springs and adaptive dampers (Porsche Adaptive Suspension Management, or PASM) are standard but feature a custom calibration for the GTS and a 0.4-inch-lower ride height. Compared with those in the 4S, the GTS brake rotors are larger, at 15.4 inches in front and 14.4 inches at the rear. The GTS also comes standard with a Sport Exhaust system and the Sport Chrono package.
The GTS exterior features Porsche's Sport Design package with black exterior trim, 20-inch Panamera Design wheels, and black exhaust outlets. The interior is swathed in black microsuede (including the heated sport steering wheel) with aluminum accents. An optional GTS Interior package brings GTS logos on the front seatbacks, contrast stitching, and a red- or white-faced tachometer.
