Porsche Panamera test drive since 2009 hatchback
Porsche Panamera: We have already tested it
Ferdinand Porsche himself about the creation of a four -seater Gran Tourism dreamed for a long time, Porsche did not grow up to this moment in series and has not been series. I remember in the late eighties the company attempted to show the light a five -door four -seater compartment Panamera. But then (it was 1988) further the experimental development, which received the 989 index, did not move ... The history of the creation of a full four -seater Gran Tourism was continued only after eighteen years.
The name Panamera was born from the name of the La Carrera Panamericana rally from 1950 to 1955 and was considered damn dangerous), in which Porsche took part and showed good results. And Pan-american is called a network of roads with a total length of about 48,000 kilometers, which connects both America. According to Pan-american Highway, you can drive from Argentina to Alaska!
To my personal acquaintance, the appearance of the panamer did not really catch me. But when I first saw her alive in a parking lot near the Munich airport (there was a start of our test route), my opinion about my appearance changed in the root ... I felt a spirit that I could not catch through the plane of photographs before
The serial panamer was first shown to the public at the Shanghai Motor Show this spring
Nearby you stand already goosebumps. This long nose with a characteristic curvature of the front wings! These hips. This rolled roof! Continuous sex. Do not confuse with anything. Porsche does not give, do not take Mercedes CLS, Aston Martin Rapide (launching in 2010) and Maserati Quattroporte will not be easy. Treme a Mercedes S-class and BMW seed. Tremble, Bentley Continental GT, Jaguar XK, Mercedes Cl, and six BMW! You have not been in this composition for long. On September 12, Panamer will begin to take away competitors from you.
The base Panamera has wheels with a dimension of 245/50 ZR18 and 275/45 ZR18. More sophisticated modifications have a wheeled variable dimension in front of 255/40 ZR20 295/35 ZR20 behind. Just like on the rear or medium-propelled sports carriers
Formally, Panamer is a four -seater hatchback. But the developers position it as something extra-class and extra-fired, indefatustfully indicating that Panamera is the founder of the new luxury vehicle clan. It's hard to argue with this.
Panamera is damn wide 1931 mm, which is about 60 mm wider than the S-Class Mercedes and for 29 BMW 7 series! Imagine what to move on a panamer in traffic jams and make your way along the narrow streets? When you sit inside, and when you look at the car from the side, it seems that it takes the entire lane, and on the narrow German paths of claustrophobia, I generally worsened to an extreme degree. But there were no problems on the autobahns. Panamer is pure Grand Tourism. The convenient chairs, excellent comfort and the corresponding range (if you do not fry about 1000 km on one tank). It is simply created to conquer large distances. To load several volumetric suitcases into a 445-liter trunk and cross with a driver or a company of four Europe, without bothering for flights with transfers, a sweet thing.
Machines equipped with PDK can be ordered with the Start Stop system. In urban mode, it saves up to 10 percent of the fuel. It is worth stopping, the engine will turn off right away. He will start when you touch the gas pedal
Despite a relatively small wheelbase of 2920 mm (115 mm shorter than Mercedes-Benz S-class and 150 shorter than the BMW seven), there is no free space in the cabin. Over the head, even tall passengers will always have a fair supply of space. All the riders are located in a half -head. The set and range of adjustments of the front seats are enormous, the length of the pillow, the lumbar support, the configuration of the rollers of the side support on the back and the pillow tilt of the back seats is also adjusted to the range of six degrees. If you well fit the seat on the figure, you can spend at least 12 hours to the row on the road tirelessly.
Bixenon headlights in the database. The light for the surcharge can be adaptive, in this case the brightness of the spot and the shape of the light -leaf boundary of the near light changes depending on the speed of movement. Such headlights also know how to look into turns. Four daylight diodes are integrated into the main block factory
The suspension has a magical property to protect those sitting from everything that happens under the wheels. No shocks, vibrations and small things from the roadway. The roads seem to be smoothed out by themselves. Only after the line of 200 kilometers per hour, the sound from tires and aerodynamic noises begin to penetrate into the salon.
Inside, the restrained luxury of the kingdom of natural materials. The number of decoration options is huge. The skin is creamy, caramel, brown, classic black, beige white top, black bottom. Dark blue top, milk bottom to choose from the inserts of carbon and aluminum, seashed ash, nut and cherries varnished or simply polished. The weather for each of the riders is ready to make an optional four-zone climate control (in a two-zone base for the front riders). In cheaper modifications, hearing is delighted by the traditional cinema for Porsche 5.1-system Bose with a subwoofer. However, who wants a better sound, they can instead of a 585-watt BOSE order 1000-voltage acoustics by the Burmister class higher. She gives out a more dynamic and structured sound on good notes, although not fully, gives an idea of \u200b\u200bstage space.
Review is normal forward and side. Information about the road situation from the back you have to literally get a square centimeter. Lateral mirrors and rear window seemed to be specially tiny, guided by the principle that, they say, Panamera will always be faster than any passing transport
Driving place is a separate story. The steering wheel from Porsche 911 (the gear shifting keys, by the way, on it inconvenient provoke incorrect grip). On the board, as in Shampoo, five devices were lined up, the main one among them is definitely a tachometer. To the left of it, a speedometer with a millimeter scale, on the right is an auxiliary LCD-illuminator, on which, upon demand, navigation readings and a number of the most important parameters are displayed. On the central tunnel, decorated in the Vertu style, slave chassis control keys and secondary functions.
The chassis developers amazingly managed to combine comfort on long distances with a maximum of sports style. True, not all motors can justify this style. At least a 300-horsepower six that will appear with some late, as if a panamer can be very different. Mechatron chassis provides a wide range of settings. The driver, sorting out the Normal, Sport and Sport Plus modes (the latter is available in the Sport Chrono package), plays the elasticity of pneumo elements and active PDCC stabilizers (Pasche Dynamic Chassis Control), as well as the PASMCHECHECHESPENSMENSMENSMENSISTIMENTERS. A pair of clicks of keys to the comfortable Grand Prix of tourism can be turned into practically a sports car with almost razor controllability. Why practically and almost? Mass, friends, and impressive moments of inertia. Together with the chassis settings, the nature of the engine and gearbox is changing, in Sport and Sport Plus reaction to the operation of the gas pedal is much faster.
The back door is automatic, it opens and it closes with an electric drive
The elastic pneumo elements in the suspension are not quite simple, they are two -chamber. Two independent cameras together work in Normal and Sport modes. A large total volume most efficiently damps irregularities and provides better smoothness. In Sport Plus mode, a special electromagnetic valve turns off one of the chambers, the suspension becomes tougher (active stabilizers in this case are also as elastic as possible) and the machine squats by 25 mm (the center of gravity is reduced). On the turns of Panamer, he rolls significantly less and becomes more responsive. The body relative to the average state can be forcibly raised by 20 mm, for example, to decrease the broken area with the road. In the original position, the body will automatically drop at a speed of 30 km/h.
For those who do not need such technical difficulties, a spring suspension with conventional reproach stability stabilizers is disposed, but PASM shock absorbers with customizable stiffness in its composition will be all early.
The power structure of the cabin is welded from steel elements of various strength made by hot forming. The anterior spars of aluminum, they are attached to steel cockpit with rivets, as on the five BMW. To exclude electrochemical corrosion between aluminum and steel, a special insulator is used in riveting joints. The back of the body, the roof and all the plumage are also aluminum. The height of the center of gravity and the moment of inertia relative to the longitudinal axis were relatively small due to the fact that the main severity of the case is concentrated in its lower part. The stiffness of the body for twisting is 25,000 nm/city. Passengers are ready to catch eight airbags. Pedestrians catches a traumatic hood, the back of which shoots up under the influence of pyropatrons
All motors are gasoline, they are located in front longitudinally. The smallest 300-horsepower six, with a volume of 3.6 liters, is a derivative of a V-shaped eight with a collapse between semi-blocks of 90 degrees. A higher atmospheric V8 ranking, about 400 forces equipped with direct injection, phasor reflectors, a Variocam Plus valve adjustment system and the recirculation system of exhaust gases. He was borrowed from Cayenne for the panamers. But he migrated here with some changes, in particular, the height of the engine was somewhat reduced (in its original form it did not fit under the hood) thanks to the other, the blocking lids of the head of the block and the oil pallet. The motor decently facilitated (minus 10 kg) due to the wider use of magnesium alloy and aluminum. With it, the all -wheel drive car gets to 100 km/h in five seconds (rear -wheel drive in 5.6) and is able to move at a maximum speed of 285 km/h.
The front suspension on parallel levers and the back multi -leaf aluminum, they are collected on aluminum subframes (elements are hollow or with a complex spatial structure, cast under pressure). The degree of blocking the rear differential is headed by electronics
At the top of the motor line is a 500-horsepower V8 with two (for each of the semi-blocks) turbines. The machine with this engine has a truly boreal character. In Sport Plus mode, during intensive acceleration, the maximum torque in the range of 30005000 rpm can increase from 700 to 770 Newton meters. As a result at the output of 4.2 seconds to hundreds and maximum speed as much as 303 km/h. With such a power unit for standard movements, it is better to use the Normal mode. Responses on gas in this case are less sharp, the suspension is softer, and the reactions to the turn of the steering wheel are not so nervous. But if you need to accelerate from the place as quickly as possible, you can activate the Launch Control function. To activate it, you need to click on the brake, then on the gas to failure, the engine will reach optimal speed. Further, only the brake must be released, the car will break off as scalded, the acceleration will be as possible (within the adhesion properties, of course). The system will help to put dust into the eyes (installed as an option), which reduces gas depression on the release on the request. When the electric shutters integrated into the release system allow spent gases along a shorter path, the sound of the exhaust becomes more bass and ferocious.
Small cross -sectional area (2.33 square meters), smooth contours, rolling roof, spoilers and shields under the hood and on the bottom provided atmospheric panamers with an aerodynamic resistance coefficient of 0.29. In modifications with turbocharged CX, only 0.3 units are just above, the interculers located behind the front bumper are to blame for this. All versions have rear spoilers, the attack angles of which are automatically exposed depending on speed. Panamera C V6, versions of S and 4S have continuous two -position spoilers. The execution of Turbo received an integral three -segment four -position spoiler, the lateral elements of which are pushed to the sides, increasing the effective area of \u200b\u200bthe aerodynamic surface
Younger engines can work with a mechanical gearbox and a seven -speed robotic PDK (analogue of the Volkswagen DSG and Audiyum S Tronic). On cars of this class, a box working with two wet multi -disc cliff is used for the first time.
The drive is carried out either on the rear wheels or on everything. The base Panamera with the V6 (has no index) and the Panamera S, equipped with the V8, received the rear -wheel drive. Modifications for designation 4s (atmospheric 400-horsepower engine) and Turbo (500-horsepower turbo engine) go with all-wheel drive. The front axis in the all -wheel drive transmission is connected by a multi -disc friction clutch only when the rear wheels slip. The coupling in some cases (for example, when starting on a slippery coating) can be blocked completely and thrown into the front wheels all the torque. But in most cases, during slippers, electronics using a coupling on the front gives only a small part of the moment, so that the all -wheel drive panamer, like the rear -wheel drive, under the thrust has excessive rotation. With the PSM stabilization system, the stabilization system (by the way, after reaching 60 km/h it still automatically turns on) you must be careful.
If you want to have fun in any movement modes, you certainly need brakes with cermety disks (as an option it is offered for all modifications), they are easy to distinguish from the standard ones by yellow calipers. Miamill gives a total winnings of 20 kg, and in terms of efficiency, informativeness and stability of characteristics depending on heating with conventional brakes (composite discs, aluminum hub plus a cast -iron friction ring) at all in any comparison. Standard brakes sailed after twenty dynamic movements along the mountain serpentine is definitely not a track option. Ceramics kept to the last even here meticulous Germans managed to save. In order to not waste energy on friction during accelerations and uniform movements, the pads from the discs in the panamer are specially allotted. The result is an average savings of 0.15 liters of gasoline per 100 km. As soon as the electronics understands that there is emergency braking (the driver sharply released the gas, the adaptive cruise control recorded the rapid reduction in the interval, etc.), it will immediately bring the brakes into combat readiness, automatically selecting the gaps between the disks and the columns of the reaction time to press the pedal The brakes will decrease sharply.
All the possibilities of chassis on public roads were not able to try out, a track is needed here. But the main thing was to understand Panamera is universal. It can be so different ... it can be gentle, lulling and enveloping, or maybe, like a leather bitch, a good troll. To cope, you need appropriate preparation. Obstinate, know
In the prospects, the release of 20 thousand cars per year and the launch of hybrid variation. Recall that Sayenne with a combined drive will appear next year. With a hybrid drive, the beauty will make 200 kilograms, but it will become much more economical and environmentally friendly. The average fuel consumption of the Grand Prix Tourism will drop to nine liters per hundred kilometers.
Panamera S with a 400-horsepower engine in the simplest performance, we will have 4,730,000 rubles, all-wheel drive version 4s 5,123,000 rubles (the price is comparable to Audi RS6). The 500-horsepower Turbo will cost at least 7 039,000 wooden. For comparison: 407-horsepower BMW 750i costs 4,659,700 rubles, and a 12-cylinder Mercedes-Benz S600 with a long base and 517 horses under the hood are sold for 7,840,800 rubles. For S63 AMG (525 hp) with a standard base they ask for 6 934 400 rubles, and the 612-horsepower S65 AMG with a long base can be bought by having 11,572,000 rubles in the pocket. If you are a techno -game, you will appreciate.
