How much can my Porsche tow?

Think twice before volunteering to tow your friend's moving trailer, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Panamera’s towing capacity.

How often does my Panamera transmission fluid need to be checked?

The good news is that transmission fluid leaks are affordable to repair and easy to spot.
