The current V8 engine of the Panamera S, 4S and Turbo models already features a host of innovative technologies and concepts. These have been adopted in the V6 engine and further enhanced. Newly developed, highly efficient 3.6 l V6 engines are used in the new Panamera and Panamera 4. These engines were based on the units installed in the V8 models. Like the latter, they have a fully aluminum design and feature direct fuel injection (DFI) and VarioCam Plus. As a result, the Panamera and Panamera 4 develop a power output of 300 hp / 220 kW at 6,500 rpm and a maximum torque of 400 Nm at 3,750 rpm.
