Torque Support

Torque Support







A plastic version of the torque support used in the Cayenne V8 models is used in the Panamera to reduce weight and it is secured with aluminum bolts. The torque support reduces engine movements, which occur on engines with high torque.

Engine Position







The engine was positioned especially low in the Porsche Panamera in order to give the vehicle a particularly low center of gravity. This ensures excellent driving dynamics and outstanding roadholding. To also achieve this low installation position on models that feature Porsche Traction Management (PTM), the front-axle differential has been bolted directly to the engine. Instead of installing the engine at a higher level and positioning the drive shaft beneath the engine, the front drive shaft runs in a channel directly through the crankcase.
