Porsche adds GTS model to its Panamera lineup



The Panamera GTS is based on the 4S model and comes with a 4.8-liter naturally aspirated V8 delivering 430 hp at 6,700 rpm. That's an increase of 30 hp over the 4S model. Torque also grows to 384 lb-ft., up from 369 lb-ft. in the 4S. The redline is extended to 7,100 rpm.
The Sport Chrono package comes standard on the GTS along with Porsche's seven-speed PDK transmission with paddle shifters on the steering wheel.
The sprint from 0 to 60 mph takes just 4.3 seconds, which is only four-tenths slower than the new 911. Top speed of the four-door is a track-tested 178 mph.
The Panamera GTS has an adaptive air suspension and Porsche Active Suspension Management, which constantly adapts to the road and the style of the driver. The ride height is lowered by 10 millimeters.
The GTS weighs 176 pounds less than the 4S though the use of hybrid steel-and-aluminum construction of the body.
