The sportiest Porsche Panamera ever to hit the road – the Panamera GTS – is now available in the UAE. After a regional reveal at January’s Qatar Motor Show, Porsche Centre Dubai, Al Nabooda Automobiles, is introducing the sporty variant of the hugely successful Panamera.
The Panamera GTS delivers race track performance yet also offers the space and comfort of a four-seater Gran Turismo.
More power and upgraded brakes, a body lowered by ten millimetres and a tuned chassis with air suspension and Porsche Active Stability Management (PASM) make this model capable of cutting it on the racing circuit. It sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in under 4.5 seconds, and has a top speed of 288 km/h.
The Panamera GTS features distinctive design elements in the front-end, side and rear area, as well as black highlights. The interior underlines the sporty personality with sports seats, a SportDesign steering wheel with shift paddles, an exclusive GTS leather interior, and Alcantara surfaces.
Featuring a modified 4.8-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine, which delivers a blistering 430 hp at 6,700 rpm, the Panamera GTS trumps the engine in its Panamera S/4S sister models by some 30 hp. Maximum torque is also increased by comparison, from 500 Nm to 520 Nm.
At the push of a button, the Porsche Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) transmits the engine output to the active all-wheel drive – thanks to the Sport Chrono package featured as standard, without interruption to the power flow.
The four-door saloon can average a fuel consumption of just 10.9 l/100 km and only 10.7 l/100 km with low-friction tyres.
The basic retail price for the new Porsche Panamera GTS in the UAE is AED 512,000.
