As you probably know, the German model is powered by a 3.0-liter turbocharged diesel unit able to deliver 250 horsepower and 550 Nm of torque. The V6 unit uses common-rail technology and is coupled to an eight-speed automatic transmission which transfers the power to the rear axle.

With such resources under the bonnet, the Panamera diesel accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6,8 seconds and reaches a top speed of 242 km/h. Even the figures might not be that impressive, we have to consider that we talk about a fuel efficient model which returns a consumption of 6,5 liters/100 km and CO2 emissions of 172 g/km.
