Press Release:

Sportec presents the world premiere of its first individualisation programme for the Porsche Panamera. The first step in the Sportec programme comprises amongst others 22 inch large, forged light alloy wheels in the new Mono 7 design. 9 inch wide versions of the 22 inch rims are fitted to the front axle and 10.5 inch wide rims are fitted to rear axle. Road contact is maintained at the front by 265/30 series tyres and at the rear by 305/25 series tyres. The freely programmable ESC suspension lowering module ensures that the driving characteristics are made more dynamic and optically suit the Porsche very well - especially when combined with the sporty Mono 7 light alloy wheels. In addition a power setting level 1 is available. Here performance upto 560 PS is achieved with the in-house tested and developed software for engine control. The torque is thus increased from 700 Nm to a powerful 790 Nm. An additional option is a complete exhaust system made of stainless steel. This improves once more the response behaviour of the sports limousine and moreover provides optical as well as acoustic appeal that can inspire both the driver and beholders. Further components are already being developed by Sportec. Thus aerodynamic elements and further power settings will shortly be available.

looks even uglier...BTW I don't like the Panamera. Never have. Just way too many beautiful cars out there that it must compete with once you're done adding options to a Turbo.

 

22's makes it all look proportionate. Love it.

 

I dig it...but I like the panamera

 

Omigodomigod I thought for a second "it almost looks good"

 

I know the car is very polarizing, I also shrugged when I first saw it. But with wheels and lowering it looks MUCH better. I like it.

 

love it. 22s do wonders on that car.

 

Pure sex!! saw the car for the 1st time @ nyc autoshow and I can't it off my mind just a sexy car. best pic yet though I wouldn't go with 22"

 

I love this car and it's featured in the new European Car mag. It dominates the Fab Design and Techart Panamera

 

Looks great thanks for the post Misha!!!
