Which Panamera model comes with a rear spoiler?
2 Answers
The spoiler is a standard feature on the Panamera, meaning all models come with it, although the spoilers vary depending on the engine displacement. The standard version has a single-layer spoiler, while the Turbo version features a double-layer one. Additionally, it can be upgraded to the Turbo three-stage spoiler. Here are detailed specifications about the Panamera spoiler: 1. The Panamera's spoiler is automatically deployable (it opens at a certain speed) and can also be manually controlled via the spoiler button on the central control screen. 2. At speeds below 170 km/h, the spoiler reduces aerodynamic drag, thereby lowering fuel consumption. When the speed exceeds 170 km/h, the spoiler automatically extends to act as a rear axle, adding up to 50 kg of downforce to enhance driving stability. In Sport and Sport-Plus driving modes, the roof spoiler automatically extends to the performance position when the speed reaches or exceeds 90 km/h. 3. Furthermore, if the panoramic sunroof is opened at speeds of 90 km/h or above, the Porsche Active Aerodynamics (PAA) system automatically adjusts the roof spoiler to a 26-degree position to compensate for the loss of rear axle downforce.
As an avid car enthusiast who often drives around town, I remember that the Porsche Panamera Turbo and Turbo S models definitely have a rear spoiler, which is an automatically retractable feature. It usually stays tucked into the rear of the car and rises at high speeds in sport mode to provide downforce. The GTS version has a similar setup, mainly for performance enhancement to prevent the car from feeling unstable. These are features typically found in higher-end models; you rarely see them in the standard versions. The spoiler design is quite cool—not some exaggerated aftermarket part but elegantly integrated, giving a strong sense of security when driving. Paying attention to these differences when choosing a car can save you a lot of hassle. My friend bought a Turbo last month and keeps showing off the spoiler’s movement at high speeds, saying the stability is significantly better.
