I want to order one and dealer keeps saying there are no changes - but there are always SOME slight changes (colors etc...)

Anyone have an 2011 order guide etc?

 

Vantage,
as far as i know there's no change except the bluetooth & universal audio interface are standard now with a price increase on MSRP. also for 2011 the production number on S & 4S will be limited since factory will be focus building the V6s.

i almost gave up finding a 2010 with the options i want locally but my lucky didn't run out at least. my shopping experience is if u really want something your spec then better order it. it's pretty impossible to find one with the ''right'' options out there.

 

They beep when you lock the car now, and you have to manually remove the dummy key (meaning you can't hold it to the left) Thats all I've noticed so far.

Newly announced beginning in August builds is Brake Energy Recuperation. I think I also saw a blurb somewhere about an improved suspension system. Also improvements in Navigation System and additional interior options. I've been waiting to see some of these show up in the online configurator.

This increase in efficiency results primarily from brake energy recuperation, with the battery being charged primarily during application of the brakes and, respectively, in overrun. When accelerating, on the other hand, the field current in the alternator is reduced, minimising the load acting on the combustion engine since it is now required to deliver even less energy for charging the battery, instead making this energy available for even faster acceleration. In conjunction with further improvements, this battery charging strategy on the Panamera Turbo saves no less than 0.7 litres on 100 kilometres, while newly developed, optional all-season tyres measuring 19 inches in diameter likewise serve to reduce fuel consumption by another 0.2 ltr/100 km on each model in the Panamera range. Together with the enhanced tread of the tyres, a special rubber compound serves to reduce roll resistance while at the same time increasing the mileage covered by the tyres. The Auto Start Stop function has also been optimised, now allowing the driver to set off again even faster and more comfortably after coming to a halt.

As a further highlight, Porsche is extending the range of paintwork colours, leather options and special equipment for the Panamera. As an example, the Gran Turismo is now also available with auxiliary heating and a three-spoke sports steering wheel with gearshift paddles on cars equipped with PDK Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe. Three-dimensional presentation of maps by the further improved, optional navigation system may now also be combined with a satellite image for even more realistic presentation and enhanced orientation. Even traffic lane information is provided in this way for complex road junctions in Europe and the USA. And last but not least, the speed limit indicator so far covering only the Autobahn, motorway and interstate now also comprises – depending on the database material – main roads and major routes leading out of town.

 

I was told that nothing has really change. The start stop funtion is almost useless I really hope they fix it with a upgrade

Wheel paddles
Standard bt and audio package
Increased price
Limited production?? I don't now what that number is but that's a great thing forbexisting owners.. Less cars more demand

 

I recieved my Panamera S on friday, but i think there is something worng with my Auto start/stop function, it auto stops the engine nicely but it it comes back on by itself after 30sec or so, is this normal?

 

Perfectly normal. The functionality of the auto start/stop depends on the electrical draw that the car is utilizing. So, if you have the AC, radio, vented seats, USB/iPod, etc all drawing power while at a stop, then the engine will redraft early, or the auto-stop may not function at all.
