headlights, each with four LED daytime
running spot lights. These have been car-
ried over from the Panamera Turbo, but
with one difference: the headlight housing
is finished in black. These are matched
by the front light units taken from the
Panamera Turbo, with LED light guides as
a border for the indicators.
Other Panamera Turbo styling features
include the SportDesign front fascia with
large air intakes on the right and left for
supplying air to the two GTS-specific air
filter modules (refer to the 'Engine' section
for more information).
The side air outlets behind the front
wheels are finished in high-gloss black.
So, too, is the side window trim, the
covers of the headlight cleaning system,
the trim strip on the rear, and the rear
diffuser.
As a stylish complement, the lower sec-
tion of the Panamera GTS is finished in
matte black. Starting from the side ends
of the front fascia and moving back along
the door sills through to the rear fascia
and the tailpipes of the sport exhaust
system, the line drawn appears more
dynamic. In conjunction with the 0.39 in
(10 mm) lower suspension, the contour
accentuates the sporty overall impres-
sion.
For greater downforce and driving
stabil ity at high speeds, the Panamera GTS
is equipped with the Panamera Turbo
rear spoiler. From a speed of 55 mph
(90 km/h), it deploys automatically tilting
up and spreading out, too.
To cope with the increased engine power
output, the Panamera GTS is equipped as
standard with 19-inch Panamera Turbo
wheels and the brake system of the
Panamera Turbo, recognizable by the
red brake calipers.
The Panamera GTS is available in the
same exterior colors as the other
models in the Panamera range. An addi-
tional color, Carmine Red, is available
as an option. Set against contrasting
black, it creates a sportier effect.
The 'Panamera GTS' logo on the rear
hatch and the optional logos on the
lower edge of the front doors add the
finishing touch to the overall appearance.
Sportiness in a pure form. Be honest,
would you have expected the Panamera
GTS to be anything else?
