Welcome a Super-Long-Range Panamera - The Diesel
Welcome a Super-Long-Range Panamera - The Diesel
http://www.motorauthority.com/blog/1...on-single-tank
Porsche has been selling a diesel version of its Cayenne SUV for several years now, so the idea of an oil-burner from the legendary sports car company from Stuttgart is nothing new. However, what’s certainly ground-breaking for Porsche is the launch of a new model that can cover more than 745 miles on a single tank of fuel.
That’s right. The all-new Porsche Panamera Diesel, which goes on sale in Europe this August has a fuel economy of 37.3 mpg for the European combined cycle, when equipped with low rolling resistance tires, and a correspondingly low emissions rating of 0.57 pounds of C02 per mile. Switch to standard tires and you’re still looking at an impressive 36 mpg.
Despite its frugal nature, the Panamera Diesel still delivers a healthy 250 horsepower and 406 pound-feet of torque from its 3.0-liter V-6. Married to the highly efficient eight-speed Tiptronic S automatic transmission, the common-rail turbodiesel engine will accelerate the big Porsche sedan from 0-62 mph in 6.8 seconds and see it reach an electronically controlled top speed of 150 mph.
For now, rear-wheel drive is the only drive layout option. Other features include adaptive air suspension (regular steel springs come as standard), as well as “diesel” lettering on the front doors and trunk lid.
No word on any plans for launch in the U.S. but for green Porsche fans, the 2012 Panamera S Hybrid sports a 33 mpg fuel economy for the European combined cycle and goes on sale this year locally priced from $95,000.

Long distance champion: Panamera Diesel with range in excess of 1,200 kilometresLatest version of the Gran Turismo with 250 hp (184 kW) diesel engine consumes only 6.3 l/100 km (45 mpg imp.)
Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart’s sporty Gran Turismos are receiving reinforcements in the guise of a long range cruiser with an impressive turn of speed. With a range in excess of 1,200 kilometres on an 80 litre tank, the new Panamera Diesel is a good bet as a distinctly economical GT saloon. Thanks to its fuel consumption of only 6.3 litres per 100 kilometres based on the NEDC with the optional low friction tyres – which equates to 167 g/km CO2 – in purely arithmetical terms, the first Porsche Gran Turismo with a six-cylinder diesel engine can drive from Berlin to Bologna without refuelling. With the standard tyres the fuel consumption of 6.5 l/100 km (172 g/km CO2) is also very low.
The Panamera Diesel copes effortlessly with short bursts of speed and alpine transits. This is delivered by the smooth-running three-litre V6 engine with a rated output of 250 hp (184 kW) achieved between 3,800 rpm and 4,400 rpm. The maximum torque of 550 Nm available all the way from 1,750 rpm to 2,750 rpm delivers high pulling power. Married to the highly efficient eight-speed Tiptronic S, the six-cylinder turbo diesel powers the new Gran Turismo from a standing start to 100 km/h in 6.8 seconds, with a top speed of 242 km/h (150 mph). The Panamera Diesel is exclusively available with rear-wheel drive.
The Porsche Panamera Diesel’s three-litre V6 engine is the state of the art in diesel technology: Common rail direct injection through piezo valves at a pressure of 2000 bar, turbocharging employing electrically controlled variable geometry turbochargers (VGTs) and emission control achieved by controlled exhaust gas recirculation, oxidation catalyst and particle filter. This is how high performance, generous torque and low consumption find themselves accompanied by smooth running, reliability and low emissions. An additional contributing factor is the auto start/stop function fitted as standard.
In terms of its driving dynamics and comfort, the Panamera Diesel is a genuine Porsche Gran Turismo through and through. Adaptive air suspension is available as an alternative to the standard steel spring suspension if so desired. This makes for a very wide spread of suspension characteristics with further enhancements to ride comfort on the one hand and very sporty driving dynamics on the other.
Developed from the outset as a four-seater vehicle, in terms also of interior design and the individual comfort of each and every occupant the Gran Turismo ploughs its own furrow. Notwithstanding its distinctive flat and stretched silhouette, 4.97 metres in length and a mere 142 centimetres high, the Panamera Diesel affords generous accommodation for all four seats. The new model can be recognised by the lettering “diesel” on the front doors.
The Panamera Diesel costs 80,183 euro in Germany including VAT and country-specific equipment and will be available for delivery from August 2011.

just a tad slower, more fuel efficent/less CO2 and £24,000 cheaper than the S-Hybrid.
i don`t know about the U.S. with the love for hybrids and the anti-love for Diesel cars, but in europe that thing will sell like hot cakes.

Yeah, not exactly targeted for US, but good points on the comparison to S-Hybrid. To me, this is the model for someone who wants 'Sport Luxury' from the brand, but on the low-end of Sport. Great efficiency figures for such a large car, but I can't imagine the driving dynamics being all that memorable.

i think they will add an AWD Diesel Version to the line-up if sales will be a success and i have no doubt about that!
