The three-litre, V6 engine under the Porsche Panamera Diesel’s bonnet is the state-of-the-art in diesel technology and comes with such features as Auto start/stop function, common rail direct injection, turbocharging employing an electrically controlled variable geometry turbocharger (VGT) and emission control achieved by controlled exhaust gas recirculation. Typically for a diesel, 550 Newton metres of rated torque are applied. Twinned with the highly efficient eight-speed Tiptronic S, in-gear acceleration from 80 km/h to 120 km/h of 4.5 seconds can be achieved. The 250 horsepower engine ensures that the Panamera Diesel reaches the 100km/h mark in only 6.8 seconds from a standstill.
