2013 Porsche Panamera GTS:
Porsche pulled the wraps off its latest addition to the Panamera family,
the 430-horsepower GTS. Bridging the gap between the 4S and the Turbo
model, the GTS offers 30 more horsepower than the V-8 S model. Torque
also increases from 369 lb-ft to 384 lb-ft. The added power is channeled
to all four wheels through Porsche’s PDK dual-clutch transmission, with
the experience further heightened by the GTS’ Sport Chrono package.
The
combination of hardware enables the GTS to sprint from 0-62 miles per
hour in just 4.5 seconds. Top speed is 179 mph. Yet the GTS’ story isn’t
all about straight-line speed. Porsche’s Active Suspension Management
system, standard on the new trim, constantly regulates load leveling,
ride height, spring rate, and damping. The GTS also features a slightly
wider stance than its less-aggressive S counterpart courtesy of
5-millimeter wheel spacers in the rear. The rubber meets the road with
255/45-19 front and 285/40-19 rear tires.
