Tipping the scales at 4,464 lb, the heavier and marginally less slippery GTS Sport Turismo (sedan Cd 0.31, ST 0.33) shares the sedan's 0-62mph time, but takes 0.1 longer to get to 100 mph, and is 2 mph down in top speed. Top speed is 181.4mph.Īs with the other engine variants in the current Panamera range, there is a Sport Turismo GTS, so you can have a spacious daily driver with no compromise in driving enjoyment. Helped by the unerring traction of the 4WD system 0-62mph takes just 4.1 seconds, with 100 mph passed in 9.6 seconds from rest. The new big numbers are 460 hp at 6,000-6,500rpm with 457 lb-ft of torque from 1,800 to 4,500 rpm. It also means that the cooling system is overspecified for the reduced engine output so track work in high ambient temperatures is not an issue. This means the GTS motor has a huge amount of headroom, which the engineers use to ensure the car can maintain its full performance at altitude. Peak boost pressure is down from 1.3 bar to just 0.8 bar with no overboost facility. Thus the Turbo's 4.0-liter V8 engine with two turbochargers nestled in the Vee between its cylinder-heads was transplanted wholesale into the GTS and its power and torque outputs detuned via the ECU mapping.
