Tuners Take On the Porsche Panamera

Filed under: Wheels

Barely two months after Porsche debuted its revolutionary four door Panamera Gran Turismo, auto tuners are already weighing in with their own even more exotic versions. Famed Porsche customizer Gemballa aims to boost the vehicle's power up to a massive 750 hp on their version (above), dubbed the Mistrale. They've also given the car a new front splitter, air scoops on both the bumper and the bonnet, front and rear fender, a carbon fiber rear diffuser, quad exhaust set-up, 22″ forged rims, new performance brakes and a new air suspension system. Another firm, Lumma Design, offers a Panamera CLR 700GT with a kit including a carbon fiber spoiler, side skirts, new hood, 35mm lowered suspension, 22-inch wheels and a power upgrade up to 700 hp.

Porsche Tuners Line Up to Take their Turn at the Panamera

The new Panamera may have just debuted, but that won't keep Porsche's strong legion of aftermarket tuners from doing what they do best. Already two of the biggest and most prominent have released tuning packages for the new four-door sedan, and a horsepower war has ensued.

9ff was one of the first to release its plan for the Panamera, before the car was even out. The tuning house behind the Veyron-battling GT9 supercar has a three-stage program for the Panamera Turbo (pictured at right), offering power in 550, 600 and 650 horsepower increments, besting the stock turbo's output of 500.

Gemballa is firing back with a take on the Panamera which it calls the Mistrale, pictured above. The company that made its name tuning the top-of-the-line Carrera GT just released details on its own Panamera upgrades, including a boost in output up to 750 horsepower, plus an air suspension and upgraded brakes. Both the 9ff and Gemballa Panameras offer their own suite of aerodynamic enhancements, interior upgrades and 22" wheels, and are fighting hard for their slice of what is sure to become a big a very big pie.

Gemballa Mirage GT Carbon Edition Proves that "Exclusive" is Relative

Some people just have way too much money on their hands. Those people tend to buy Porsches. But with rumors afloat of a new flagship supercar based on the German carmaker's RS Spyder race car, the last real exotic machine the company produced was the Carrera GT. Now discontinued, examples are still trading hands in seven-figure territory. For those few lucky enough to have gotten their hands on one, Gemballa has now released what could be the ultimate modification package for the ultimate Porsche. Called the Mirage GT Carbon Edition, the modified Carrera GT features a full array of carbon-fiber components to improve the car's aesthetics and performance. Gemballa has also tuned the engine to a whopping 670 horsepower, capable of pushing the supercar to sixty in just 3.7 seconds en route to a top speed of 208 miles per hour...perfect for a Sunday drive on the Autobahn. Of course this kind of performance doesn't come cheap: 300,000 euros is what the modifications alone will cost you, not including the cost of the car itself. At those kinds of prices, no wonder Gemballa only plans on building five of them.

Filed under: Wheels

Porsche tuning specialist Gemballa has announced it will build 50 examples of its wicked Cayenne GTS Tornado (above), which turns the German marque's SUV into a road-eating monster. Inspired by the Carrera GT supercar, it features new five-spoke alloy wheels, larger air intakes in the front apron, a carbon-fiber hood, new taillights and an integrated rear diffuser. Interior upgrades include new sportier seats, a panoramic sunroof and a custom center console styled after the one found in the Carrera GT. While the standard Cayenne GTS produces 495 hp, the Gemballa model is available in 542, 641 and even a whopping 740 hp variations, depending on the exact nature of the options chosen. Pricing has not been announced, but expect it to clock in at over $100,000.
