2017 Porsche Panamera Stingray GTR by TopCar Looks Insane with Carbon Fiber Aero Kit, Price Announced https://www.carztuning.com/2017/11/2017-porsche-panamera-stingray-gtr-topcar-looks-insane-carbon-fiber-aero-kit-price-announced/ https://www.carztuning.com/2017/11/2017-porsche-panamera-stingray-gtr-topcar-looks-insane-carbon-fiber-aero-kit-price-announced/#respond Tue, 28 Nov 2017 19:56:34 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=13128 The Russian based aftermarket specialists from tuner TopCar are well-known for their insane and one-off customizations carried out on Porsche models, and that because rich Russian boys and girls are crazy about the German sports cars.

We have seen plenty of outstanding programs on different Turbo 911s, Cayennes or Panameras. Speaking of Panamera sports car, the tuner has turned its attention towards the top of the line 2017 Panamera Turbo, which has received the tuner`s famous Stingray GTR aero kit, with customizations on both the exterior as well as the interior.

Sadly, only 35 examples will be ever built, and the one seen below is model number 3, belonging to Jon Olsson, a famous free-skier and petrol-head who has a thing about the Porsche Panamera.

The model below has returned to Moscow with a major makeover at the exterior and some cool mods inside the cabin, for which he paid a total of 235,000 Euros.

What does the Stingray GTR kit comprise?

Starting with the exterior, TopCar specialists have installed new front and rear bumpers, bespoke DRLs and new hood, updated intakes, side skirts, rear diffuser and massive rear wing which doesn’t retract. All these new components are made of carbon fiber.

As for interior highlights, most of them refer to the same carbon fiber treatment on the steering wheel, door panels and dashboard, adding a luxurious and cozy feel thanks to Alcantara and leather.

As we already know from previous programs, TopCar rarely deals with performance customizations. And this lad here is also keeping the stock power. This means 540 horsepower and 770 Nm of torque, enabling a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds. The top speed is set at 306 km/h.

A gorgeous media gallery of the tuner`s 2017 Porsche Panamera Stingray GTR can be admired below! Enjoy and don’t forget to share your opinions on the project!

Porsche Panamera Turbo GrandGT by TechArt Looks Quite Insane https://www.carztuning.com/2017/03/porsche-panamera-turbo-grandgt-techart-looks-quite-insane/ https://www.carztuning.com/2017/03/porsche-panamera-turbo-grandgt-techart-looks-quite-insane/#respond Fri, 10 Mar 2017 23:34:22 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=12266 TechArt is part of an exclusive elite of tuning companies that has brought an entire range at its stand at the 2017 Geneva Motor Show. However, it seems that not all models have received the same appreciation from the media.

I am talking here at the tuner`s GrandGT Porsche Panamera which might have failed at the design category, the car`s project being considered not that appealing and attractive as its companions`.

However, from what I stand, I personally find the model extremely aggressive, especially since it already comes with advanced aerodynamics, and fitting such a model might be quite a tricky task. However, where others have failed, TechArt has managed to make it more insane… Again, this is just my humble opinion.

So this lad here is tweaked with a massive body kit, consisting of bespoke front and rear aprons, side skirts, integrated splitter and rear diffuser, adding as well a sports exhaust with valve control, four central carbon fiber tailpipes, and the 22-inch black Formula IV alloy wheels with orange calipers.

The model is also coming with an increased width by 80 mm, providing it with a more aggressive look and meaner attitude. The cabin has also received plenty of new features.

We should mention here leather upholstery in contrast with the exterior`s Nano Grey, adding three-spoke Sport leather with decorative stitching, aluminum sport pedals, floor mats with leather piping and decorative stitching, illuminated door entry guards, and so on.

The rear`s four central carbon fiber tailpipes for the sports exhaust with valve control give away an impressive power boost as well, but for the moment we do not have the official performance figures. Stay tuned for more details.
