The Panamera GTS is powered by a
444
lightweight 4.8-liter V8 naturally aspirated
407
engine. It features cast aluminum
430 hp
370
pistons, monobloc aluminum cylinder
333
heads and integrated dry-sump lubrica-
296
tion for a reliable supply of oil even
259
when an extremely sporty driving style
222
is adopted. Although it is based on the
185
engine of the Panamera 4S, it develops
148
30 hp more power and generates
111
14.75 lb.-ft. more torque. It also has a
74
7500 faster-revving engine with a maximum
engine speed that has been increased
by 400 rpm to 7,100 rpm. The result
is a maximum power output of 430 hp
and a maximum torque of 383 lb.-ft.
This power upgrade was achieved
through a series of measures, including
modified intake camshafts with extended
valve lift and a new air induction system
with two additional air filter modules
each located in the left- and right-hand
sides of the front fascia respectively.
Above 3,500 rpm, the flaps on the air
filter modules are opened to allow the
engine to draw in air more easily. At high
road speeds, headwind ram pressure is
exploited to achieve a further increase
in power output.
In addition, the Panamera GTS is
equipped with a specially modified
engine management system. Not only
does this help the engine to develop
