Porsche Panamera GTS bonnet model 970

For the Porsche Panamera GTS (970 generation, 2009–2016), the bonnet (hood) is a lightweight aluminum panel. While the GTS was introduced during the 970.1 era, the bonnet remained largely consistent in shape across the facelift, though there are subtle differences in the latch mechanisms and hinges.

1. Part Identification

• Part Number: 970-511-011-03-GRV (Primed for paint).

• Material: High-strength Aluminum to save weight over the front axle.

• Compatibility: This part generally fits all 970 models, including the S, 4S, GTS, and Turbo. However, the GTS often uses specific under-hood insulation and ducting to match its unique intake system.

2. 970.1 vs. 970.2 (Facelift) Differences

If you are replacing a bonnet on a 2014–2016 GTS (970.2), be aware of these subtle changes:

• Hinge Mounting: The 970.2 has slightly revised mounting points for the gas struts to improve pedestrian safety ratings.

• The “V” Line: The character lines that run from the A-pillar toward the emblem are slightly sharper on the facelifted models to match the more angular LED headlights.
