It was about clear definitions,
and a clear statement.
Exterior.
How can one describe the appearance of
the Panamera models? A low, wide stance,
a sleek roofline: true sports car propor-
tions. The front, shoulders and rear all
have instantly recognisable Porsche traits.
The face that stands out in the crowd.
However, the Panamera GTS goes one
step further. Even closer to the road, its
sporty character is even more clearly
demonstrated.
Let’s start at the front. The Panamera GTS
is equipped as standard with Bi-Xenon main
headlights, each with four LED daytime
running spot lights. These have been
carried over from the Panamera Turbo,
but with one difference: the inner trims
are finished in black. These are matched
by the front light units taken from the
Panamera Turbo, with LED light guides
as a border for the indicators.
Other Panamera Turbo styling features
include the SportDesign front apron with
large air intakes on the right and left for
supplying air to the two GTS-specific air
filter modules (refer to the ‘Engine’ section
for more information).
The side air outlets behind the front
wheels are finished in high-gloss black.
So, too, are the side window trims, the
covers of the headlight cleaning system,
the trim strip on the rear and the rear
dif fuser.
As a stylish complement, the lower sec-
tion of the Panamera GTS is finished in
matt black. Starting from the side ends
of the front apron and moving back along
the door sills through to the rear apron
a nd the tailpipes of the sports exhaust
system, the line drawn appears more
dynamic. In conjunction with the 10 mm
lower suspension, the contour accentu-
ates the sporty overall impression.
For greater downforce and driving stabil-
ity at high speeds, the Panamera GTS is
equipped with the Panamera Turbo rear
spoiler. From a speed of 90 km/h, it
deploys automatically not only upwards
but outwards, too.
To cope with the increased engine power
output, the Panamera GTS is equipped
as standard with 19-inch Panamera Turbo
wheels and the brake system of the
Panamera Turbo, recognisable by the
red brake calipers.
The Panamera GTS is available in the
same exterior colours as the other
models in the Panamera range. An addi-
tional colour, Carmine Red, is available
as an option. Set against contrasting
black, it creates a sportier effect.
The ‘Panamera GTS’ logo on the rear
hatch and the optional logos on the lower
edge of the front doors add the finishing
touch to the overall appearance.
Sportiness in pure form. Be honest, would
you have expected the Panamera GTS to
be anything else?
