The GTS's star attraction is its torque-rich 4.8-liter V8, the same dry-sump, alloy-block engine as in the all-wheel-drive Panamera 4S but let off the leash a bit, with a higher redline (7, 100-rpm fuel shut-off), lumpier cam-lift logic, more aggressive transmission software (quicker, harder shifts available from the dual-clutch PDK gearbox), and additional cold-air boxes with active shutters behind lower lateral bumper intakes.
