Porsche in an almost interminable tease has released pictures of the interior of the Porsche Panamera slipped out a few more technical and performance details.
The inside look-see is actually rather complete, showing a four-place grand tourer with a center console that sweeps from the center stack to between the rear seats which are rather grand in themselves. Rather than a padded package tray or a modestly contoured bench seat, Porsche has essentially doubled up on the front buckets with the same bolstering and the same horizontal seams. An evaluation of leg room and head room will, of course, have to wait until we can place our homegrown finely-tuned testing apparatus in the various seats.
As should be expected in this class of vehicle, each passenger will have full individual climate control, the Panamera S and Panamera 4S will have 8-way power seats in front with a driver memvory package. The Panamera Turbo will have a power-adjustable steering wheel. If that’s not enough, seating packages will include 18-way Adaptive Sport Seats (we weren’t aware seats could be adjusted in so many ways) and 8-way power adjustable rear seats.
A new ultra high-end surround system by the Berlin audio manufacturer Burmester will 2.5 square feet of speaker surface, fortunately divided up into 16 speakers and a subwoofer, with an output of more than 1000 watts. All of the usual suspects in “personal electronic connectivity” will be available, including Bluetoogh, Universal Audio Interface for connecting personal audio devices, and satellite radio.
The Panamera will have a 15.7 cubic foot cargo area, configured so that four large suitcases can be loaded in an upright position. Fold down the rear seatback and you’ll be able to make a 44.6 cubic foot run to Home Depot.
Of course, Porsche will custom fit a customer’s Panamera. Standard choices include 13 color and material combinations including four two-tone leather interiors and seven interior trim options including carbon fiber to natural olive wood.

At first, Panameras will be available with a choice of two V-8 engines and whether rear of all-wheel drive the standard transmission is Porsche’s seven-speed Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) double-clutch transmissison. Additionally, for fuel saving all Panameras will have engine stop-start that will turn off and automatically restart the engine when stopped in traffic or at a traffic light.The rear-wheel drive Panamera S will have a 4.8-liter 400-horse V-8 engine that Porsche claims will move it from 0-to-60 mph in 5.2 seconds. The all-wheel drive Panamera 4S has the same engine but Porsche cites a 4.8 second 0-to-60 time. A Porsche representative was not able to determine why the difference, considering that both have the same engine, but those are the numbers that have been provided at this time. Porsche claims a top speed of 175 mph for both the S and 4S.
The Panamera Turbo is the top dog of the four-door Porsche family with a twin-turbo 500-horsepower version of the 4.8-liter V-8. Porsche says the Turbo has a top speed of 188 mph and will launch for select individuals to sixty miles per hour in a claimed four seconds flat.
The launching—regardless of how quickly to sixty—begins in the spring in Europe. Stateside deliveries begin October 17 with prices of $89,800 for the Panamera S and $93,800. The alpha-Panamera will carry an msrp of $132,600.
