How Heavy is the Panamera?

Porsche Panamera's body dimensions: 4970mm*1931mm*1418mm, with a body weight ranging from 1760 to 1980 kg. The Porsche Panamera is a 4-door, 5-seater coupe. As a luxury coupe, it boasts quick acceleration, with the top model achieving 0-100 km/h in 3.8 seconds and a top speed of nearly 310 km/h. The mid-range models vary in acceleration from 4.2 to 5.4 seconds for 0-100 km/h, rivaling supercars. Below is some related information: 1. Panamera: Porsche, a world-renowned luxury car brand under the Volkswagen Group in Germany, also translated as Porsh, is headquartered in Stuttgart, Germany, and is one of the main representatives of European and American automobiles. 2. Panamera's powertrain setup: The Porsche Panamera 4S and Turbo models are equipped with the Traction Control PTM intelligent all-wheel-drive system, which consists of an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch, Automatic Brake Differential (ABD), and Acceleration Slip Regulation (ASR) to form the all-wheel-drive system. The power distribution between the front and rear axles is no longer managed by a viscous multi-plate clutch but is actively adjusted by an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch.
The weight of the Panamera generally ranges from 1.8 to 2.2 tons, depending on the specific model. The standard Panamera weighs approximately 1,980 kg, while the Turbo S version can reach up to 2,200 kg. The hybrid models, due to the heavier battery, can approach 2,300 kg. The primary reasons for the vehicle's weight include the extensive use of steel and components, such as the robust engine and chassis design, which enhance stability and safety. However, this may result in a somewhat heavy feel when driving, especially during turns or braking, where the stopping distance may be longer. I personally test-drove the standard version at a dealership and found its acceleration performance quite impressive, with a 0-100 km/h time of around 4 seconds. The average fuel consumption is about 10 liters per 100 km. It's advisable to check the official specifications before purchasing or to test-drive the vehicle to experience its dynamic performance firsthand, to avoid any mishaps during high-speed turns. Regular tire maintenance can help reduce the load and extend their lifespan.
