The Panamera model range. What can a car manufacturer with such a small market share worldwide have to say about luxury saloons?It's true that life sometimes has to be taken very seriously, but not necessarily everywhere and all of the time. It's good to lighten up and relax a little. [. . . ] Its dynamic cornering light function swivels the headlights towards the inside of a bend based on steering angle and road speed and the static cornering lights activate the auxiliary headlights in order to illuminate more of the road at tight bends and turns. Put simply, when you enter a bend, the road ahead is illuminated immediately so you can see any obstacles much sooner. · 80 · · 81 · Balance | Safety On any long journey, there will come a time when you have to stop. Brakes. Porsche brakes are renowned for their stopping power, setting the standards for deceleration and stability. They are designed to cope with extreme forces such as those experienced during hard braking. piston unit at the rear, and brake discs with a diameter of 390 mm at the front and 350 mm at the rear for outstanding braking performance and a short braking distance. The brake calipers have an The Panamera S and 4S models have a braking system equipped Standard brake system on Panamera S and Panamera 4S enclosed monobloc construction. This makes them tough but light and enables a rapid response and release of the brake. The pedal travel is short and easy to control. All models have grooved brake discs ensuring optimum braking even under extreme conditions. The discs are internally vented for rapid heat dispersal. The Panamera models are also equipped with an anti-lock braking system (ABS), designed to keep deceleration constant. A specially designed air duct cools the brakes effectively and, for added safety, a brake pad wear indicator for each wheel informs you when the brake pads need to be replaced. The electric parking brake, which you can activate and deactivate manually, releases automatically as you pull away. With the hill-hold function, you can pull away without ever rolling back. The system automatically detects when the vehicle has come to a halt on an uphill gradient. PSM then maintains the brake pressure at all four wheels for a brief period to prevent the vehicle from moving in the opposite direction. with silver-coloured six-piston aluminium monobloc fixed brake calipers at the front and fourpiston aluminium monobloc fixed brake calipers at the rear, with brake disc diameters of 360 mm and 330 mm, respectively. Owing to its greater engine power, the Panamera Turbo's braking system features red-painted six-piston aluminium monobloc fixed brake calipers at the front and a four- Standard brake system on Panamera Turbo · 82 · · 83 · Balance | Safety Presumably, you won't be using your Panamera for motorsport activities. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB). On the Panamera S and Panamera 4S, the cross-drilled ceramic brake discs have a diameter of 390 mm at the front and 350 mm at the rear. To cope with more powerful braking on the Panamera Turbo, these discs are 410 mm at the front and 350 mm at the rear. The brake discs are formed from a specially Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB) The key advantage of PCCB is the extremely low weight of the ceramic brake discs, which are approximately 50% lighter than standard discs of similar design greater agility and improved handling. Please note that circuit racing, track day use and other forms of performance driving can significantly reduce the service life of even the most durable brake pads and discs. As with conventional high-performance braking systems, we recommend that all brake components be professionally inspected and replaced where necessary after every track event. more favourable noise-damping properties. The use of six-piston aluminium monobloc brake calipers on the front axle and four-piston units at the rear ­ all finished in yellow ­ ensures extremely high brake and size.
