The 2017 Panamera is larger than its previous counterparts. There is an increase of 1.3 inches in its overall length and 0.2 inches in width. Although it is believed that the roof line’s tail end is 0.8 inches lower than its first-gen counterpart, the new Panamera is claimed to be taller by 0.2 inches. Overall, the design looks so much better in so many ways.
Engine
The 2017 Panamera has introduced three new engine classifications, where two of them will be available to US consumers. It’s a choice between the 4S powered by the 440-hp 2.9-liter V-6 valued at $100,950 and the Panamera Turbo that is powered by the 550-hp, 4.0-liter V-8 valued at $147,950. The 406 lb-ft of the torque from 1,750 to 5,500 rpm and the V-8 has the power to evolve a torque from 1,960 to 4,500 Although both engines exhibit remarkable power outputs, it is only the V-8 which has the power to evolve a torque from 1,960 to 4,500 was the one that is produced by Porsche. The V-6, which produces lb-ft of torque from 1,750 to 5,500 rpm was a work of Audi.
Both engines possess a direct-injection as well as two turbochargers that are mounted into the vee. The two engines feature their own distinctive capabilities. The V-8 is capable of cylinder deactivation. This is an innovation of the Porsche engine where up to a thirty percent advancement in fuel efficiency is delivered. The V-6, on the other hand, has a changeable intake valve timing. On a side-by-side comparison, the V-8 seems to be an underachiever next to the V-6. The latter has a couple of cylinders and a 1.1 liters more capacity than the former. But, Porsche claims that the V-8 is capable of a 550 hp with just a .3 bar of boost while the V-6 is claimed to have just a 1.4 bar. According to Porsche insiders, there is a lot more incredible performance in store for the V-8.
