The special dynamic of the Panamera GTS models is clear from the first glance — thanks in particular to use of the black contrasting color. Elements, such as the side window trims, the side air outlets, the logos on the rear end or the tailpipes of the Sport Exhaust System, are finished in High Gloss Black.
In addition, the lower section of the Sport Design front and rear fascias and the 20-inch Panamera Design wheels are finished in Satin Black. The Exclusive Design taillights and the characteristic light strip are also clear. Upon request, LED headlights in black with Matrix Design, including Porsche Dynamic Light System Plus, can also be added. On the Panamera GTS and Turbo S, the adaptive rear spoiler splits in two after extending and becomes wider — ensuring an efficient reduction in lift at the rear axle.
A special feature that highlights the sports car nature is the naturally aspirated engine character of the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with a linear unleashing of power. There is no performance plateau, as is common with turbo engines today. The Sport Exhaust System with intensive V8 sound characteristics is a perfect match.
The interior of the Porsche Panamera GTS models also reveals their love of sport. The combination of black leather with Alcantara®, Adaptive Sport Seats with “GTS” logos on the headrests, as well as interior trim and door-sill guards made of Black Brushed Aluminum are a clear demonstration of this. Even the Steering Wheel rim of the GT Sport steering wheel and the roof lining are finished with Alcantara®.
Another special feature of the Panamera GTS models: the optional interior packages in two contrasting colors. This includes stitching on the dashboard, the door panels, the seats, the armrest in the center console and the floor mats finished with stitching in Carmine Red or Chalk. The headrests of the four seats with the “GTS” logo are stitched in the same color. To match: The seat belts are in Carmine Red or Chalk.
