Four-Way Rear Spoiler - Panamera Turbo
Four-Way Rear Spoiler - Panamera Turbo
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, just like the rear wing of the 911 Turbo. Given the high top speeds of the Panamera Turbo, this feature ensures excellent directional stability and optimum driving performance at all times. 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.
