Feast Your Eyes on this Magnificent Hamann Porsche Cayenne by Fostla https://www.carztuning.com/2018/09/feast-eyes-magnificent-hamann-porsche-cayenne-fostla/ https://www.carztuning.com/2018/09/feast-eyes-magnificent-hamann-porsche-cayenne-fostla/#comments Tue, 18 Sep 2018 15:05:44 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=13901 It is well-known that Hamann tuner is famous for its remarkable and standout aftermarket programs carried out on different models from BMW; and perhaps one of the most outstanding is the one enhanced on the X6 or X6M, you can recognize it from a hundred miles.

However, Hamann also provides aftermarket parts for other important carmakers. One good example is the below Porsche Cayenne Diesel in its previous generation, the model in question receiving plenty of new goodies from Hamann, with the installation process being done by Fostla tuner.

With the new goodies in one place, you can make your Cayenne look exactly like the brand-new 2018 Cayenne, which now sits in Europe`s major dealerships. Or you can make it even better, Hamann assures you of that.

In case you are curious about the price involved, you should know that 45,000 Euro should do the job. For that money you get new styling and new wheels, as well as a cool aero kit…and power upgrade on top of that. Speaking of which, you can now enjoy around 380 horsepower and 820 Nm of torque, all squeezed out from the same 4.2-liter V8 diesel engine.

On top of that, Hamann`s Guradian Evo massive aero kit looks perfect on the Cayenne. You get new bumpers, aero skirts, over-fenders and other cool aero parts that increase the SUV`s aggressive attitude and stance.

Of course, a new set of wheels couldn’t have missed; in this case, Fostla decided to go with the Hamann Anniversary Evo II Black Lime alloys, all measuring 10.5 x 22 inches. They are also wrapped in 295/30/ZR22 and 335/25/ZR22 front and rear, respectively.

So, why bother buying the new Cayenne for more than 100,000 Euro when you can get a completely restyled and much more powerful second hand one for just 45,000 Euro!? Enjoy the gallery below!

Following a series of upgrades in the 90`s, meaning turning it into a genuine Speedster, the technicians aftermarket from DP Motorsport took over for some in-depth customizations, starting with the exterior and planning to continue with a new power boost under the hood.

Other features also include H&R mods or twin mufflers with custom rear bumper.

Mansory Reskins Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo with Carbon Fiber Package https://www.carztuning.com/2018/03/mansory-reskins-porsche-panamera-sport-turismo-carbon-fiber-package/ https://www.carztuning.com/2018/03/mansory-reskins-porsche-panamera-sport-turismo-carbon-fiber-package/#respond Mon, 19 Mar 2018 18:42:51 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=13442 The Porsche Panamera lineup welcomed a new and very special edition called the Sport Turismo last year, which is based on the 2012 Concept. This particular model is perhaps the most outstanding of all, coming with more practicality, impressive design lines and some extra power under the hood.

However, in the hands of specialists from tuning companies like TechArt or Mansory, the hot sports car is completely transformed into something unique, beyond our limited imagination and mind. And for that, we have to remind you of the TechArt`s most impressive Panamera ever built, called the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo GrandGT ‘Supreme’.

However, the program seen below and put together by Mansory also looks extremely hot and a real head-turner with the new carbon fiber package. This is Mansory`s second built with carbon fiber components, after recently releasing the details of a Bugatti Veyron Vivere with the Marble Collage kit.

The massive use of carbon fiber is visible on the new front splitter and air intakes, vented hood and fenders, two-piece roof spoiler, bespoke side skirts and in-house built rear diffuser. There is also the new lightweight alloy wheels which measure 22 x 10.0 and 22 x 11.0 front and rear, respectively and are wrapped in high-performance tires. The wheels reduce weight and provide as well better grip on the tracks. All these features contribute to the car`s more downforce and keep it closer to the ground at high speeds.

As for interior customizations, Mansory have also added premium leather and carbon fiber trimmings on the seats, center console, gear lever and steering wheel. Under the hood, thanks to a new ECU remapping, sports air filter and high-performance exhaust system, the car`s engine is now outputting 35 horsepower and 40 Nm of torque more.

In stock form, the new 2018 Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo is equipped with a 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 engine, with 542 horsepower in the top of the line, while the rest of the range ranges between 325 horsepower and 456 horsepower.

Techart Takes on “Supreme” 2018 Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo GranGT https://www.carztuning.com/2018/02/techart-takes-supreme-2018-porsche-panamera-sport-turismo-grangt/ https://www.carztuning.com/2018/02/techart-takes-supreme-2018-porsche-panamera-sport-turismo-grangt/#respond Tue, 27 Feb 2018 17:11:29 +0000 http://www.carztuning.com/?p=13369 There are moments we can`t find enough words to express the thrill and excitement we get whenever we bump into something beautiful and out-of-the-ordinary. And these things also happen in the auto industry, with tuners worldwide dedicating their time in creating the perfect tuning programs that need no presentation.

In the tuning world, we often meet extraordinary artists that purely leave us speechless. Today, that amazing program is the “Supreme”, which is considered the most exquisite program ever carried out on a Porsche sports car.

The custom-built “Supreme” is based on the 2018 Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo and has been created by the technicians from Techart aftermarket shop. And as you can depict from the media gallery below, we are dealing here with something beyond our limited minds.

The “Supreme” looks mind-blowing, featuring an artistic design with the special Racing Green body wrap and enhanced with a killer aftermarket aero kit.

Everything about the car is exceptionally well-built. In my opinion, “la piece de resistance” at the exterior is the new set of 22-inch Formula IV alloy wheels, which add an extremely aggressive look. This is also enhanced by the Techart sports exhaust system with Titanium/carbon fiber tailpipes.

At the interior, you are welcomed with the most expensive leather upholstery available for Porsche models, adding as well contrast stitching. The result is again seen in the media gallery below.

Under the hood, the 2018 Porsche Panamera “Supreme” also comes with a power upgrade. The stock power has been raised to a total of 640 horsepower and 900 Nm of torque. This enables a sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in a staggering 3.4 seconds.
