The Panamera 4/4S series feature an innovative rear spoiler with special aerodynamic measures to ensure efficiency:
- Enhances driving stability at high speeds
- Reduces fuel consumption at low speeds
- Reduces lift at high speeds
The Panamera S/4S has a two-way rear spoiler, which extends horizontally depending on the speed:
- From 56 mph (90 km/h): -3° horizontal (normal position)
- Between 56 and 99 mph (90 and 160 km/h): +5° horizontal
- From 127 mph (205 km/h): +14° horizontal (performance position)
This means that the increased lift at higher speeds can be reduced by even greater contact pressure. As a result, very good roadholding and excellent directional stability are guaranteed even at very high speeds. In Sport/Sport Plus mode, spoiler control is based on a performanceoriented program.
The Panamera Turbo feature an active rear spoiler system that adapts to specific driving situations:
- Adaptive, extending four-way rear spoiler
- Two-piece upper section of spoiler
- Enlarged spoiler surface area
- Additional rear spoiler
The Panamera Turbo has a four-way rear spoiler. The upper section of the spoiler consists of two parts. Like the two-way spoiler on the Panamera S/4S, this extends:
- To the normal position (-3°) at 56 mph (90 km/h)
- To the performance position (+10°) at 127 mph (205 km/h)
The two-piece top section of the spoiler extends left and right simultaneously, enlarging the surface area of the spoiler. As a result, the four-way spoiler not only reduces lift: in the performance position, it even generates downforce at the rear axle at high speeds. The four-way rear spoiler also features an additional edge on the side wings. The overpressure that is generated minimizes the flow of air under the spoiler, effectively enlarging its surface area. This also enhances the aerodynamics.
