True, Porsche’s saloon has received a lot of criticism for its design, something Mansory tries to rectify a bit with this body kit.
Τhis carbon-centric Panamera is anything but subtle, which by now is something we fully expect from this luxury car tuning company. Their creations are often outlandish yet rarely if ever visually cumbersome.
Mansory’s body kit consists of lightweight components throughout, such as the front spoiler, rear apron, side skirts, bonnet and fender extensions. Combined, they make the Panamera wider by 70 mm (2.75 inches).
The Turbo variant, with its 520 PS and 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque, is pretty quick straight out of the factory. It’s capable of hitting 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 4.1 seconds, with a top speed of 305 km/h (189 mph). Mansory’s Power Pack raises the output to an impressive 680 PS while pushing the torque to 900 Nm (663 lb-ft).
As expected, performance improves significantly: the 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) sprint takes just 3.6 seconds, which makes the “plain” Turbo 0.2 seconds quicker than the top of the line Turbo S.
The two-tone paint scheme and 22-inch alloys give it a Fast and Furious look, which may or may not be your cup of tea. There’s no arguing its grunt, though – and you can always pick another color, right?
