We've seen the bag of tricks the exotic auto tuners have used on the brand new four-door Porsche Panamera - now how about a bulletproof version? An armored Porsche Panamera Turbo has just been listed for sale in Frankfurt, Germany via global online luxury marketplace JamesList for €295,000, or about $450,000. It comes equipped with armored steel in the doors, posts, overlaps and walls, and ballistic steel in the roof and floor; bulletproof glass; run flat tires; an armored fuel tank; armored battery and radiator protection; and more. Capable of stopping 9mm rounds as well as an assault from an M16 or .44 Magnum, the car's impressive performance is not hampered in any way by its added security measures.

"the car's impressive performance is not hampered in any way by its added security measures. "

Somehow I highly doubt that as you're adding a bunch of weight. I'm sure it's no slouch but it's not going to keep up with a stock Panamera Turbo like "not hampered in any way" would imply.

I agree. The additional weight, which must be substantial has to "hamper" the cars performace.
Without a doubt, the engine performance must be modified to move this wonderful car. Someone spending $450,000 on an armored luxury car, certainly is safety/security focussed. What good is a armored vehicle if a quick get-away is not available due to power to weight ratio has dropped significantly. Modify the engine for an approximate cost of $50,000. or at least provide it as an option. just curious, "How many armored Porsche Pan-American model have sold??
