What is the 0-100 km/h acceleration time of the Panamera?
1 Answers
According to official data, the Panamera comes with two engine displacements: 2.9T and 4.0T. The 2.9T model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds, while the 4.0T model achieves it in 3.2 seconds. Factors affecting a vehicle's 0-100 km/h acceleration time are as follows: Torque: Torque, in simple terms, represents the strength of the force. The greater the torque, the stronger the force pushing the vehicle, resulting in faster acceleration. For example, the Patrol 4.0 has a maximum torque of 394 Nm and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 9 seconds, while the Panamera 2.9T boasts a maximum torque of 450 Nm and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 5.6 seconds. Transmission efficiency: The transmission acts as the medium for power delivery, inevitably involving power loss. Higher transmission efficiency leads to better acceleration performance. Generally, transmission efficiency ranks as follows: manual transmission > dry dual-clutch transmission > wet dual-clutch transmission > AT transmission > CVT transmission. The Panamera is equipped with an 8-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. Power-to-weight ratio: The relationship between horsepower and vehicle weight is known as the power-to-weight ratio (measured in Hp/T). A higher power-to-weight ratio results in faster acceleration. The Panamera 2.9T has a power-to-weight ratio of 176.47 Hp/T and a 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 5.6 seconds, while the Patrol 4.0 has a power-to-weight ratio of 109 Hp/T and accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds.
