Balance For us, sportiness is always measured against the safety on which everything is based.
For a sports car like the Panamera GTS, this matters more than ever.
We plan for every eventuality.
Just to be on the safe side.
Lighting concept.
Foresight begins with good visibility.
This is why the Panamera GTS is
equipped with Bi-Xenon main headlights
including Porsche Dynamic Light System
(PDLS). Its dynamic cornering light func-
tion swivels the headlights towards the
inside of a bend, based on steering angle
and road speed, and the static cornering
lights activate the auxiliary headlights in
order to illuminate more of the road at
tight bends and turns. In addition, PDLS
adapts light distribution to suit the cur-
rent speed and visibility conditions. Also
fitted as standard are the four LED day-
time running spot lights in each main
headlight.
The lighting system features a ‘Welcome
Home’ function – a customisable delayed
switch-off timer that keeps the daytime
running lights, the taillights and the
courtesy lights in the exterior mirrors
switched on until you reach your front
door.
Engineered body design.
The fully galvanised lightweight body-
shell in steel and aluminium produces a
highly resilient passenger cell that offers
high levels of protection in the event of
an impact. A system of longitudinal and
transverse members at the front absorbs
energy, disperses the force of impact
and minimises deformation of the pas-
senger cell. A rigid bulkhead cross mem-
ber reduces deformation of the footwell
and provides improved protection for
the feet and legs.
The active bonnet system is designed
with enhanced pedestrian safety in mind.
If the sensors in the front apron detect
a collision, this system raises the rear
portion of the bonnet, which can help to
reduce the risk of injury.
Airbags.
In addition to knee airbags and full-size
airbags for the driver and front passen-
ger, the Panamera GTS is equipped as
standard with the Porsche Side Impact
Protection System (POSIP). This comprises
side airbags in the front seats, curtain
airbags along the entire roof frame and
side windows from the A-pillar to the
C-pillar, and side impact protection
elements in the doors. Side airbags in
the rear compartment are available as
an option.
