the porsche panamera racecar has gone testing picture

After Porsche unveiled the Panamera sedan, its racing division and N.Technology started the work on its racing version based on the Panamera S.

And after months of work, the Panamera Racecar was taken out to do some testing for the first time. The official debut will be made at the Superstars Series series set for the Hockenheim ring in Germany on June 12-13, 2010.

Partnering, one again, with N.Technology is Italian touring car legend Fabrizio Giovanardi. Giovanardi has won eight touring car titles including British and European crowns. He will be driving the Porsche Panamera racecar which features the same V8 engine found in the Panamera S, but tuned to deliver 450bhp instead of the standard 394bhp. The racecar has also shed some weight bringing it down to a fancy 1,320kg.

I would really love to see a new 928. It is a model that has been greatly missed. An icon of the 80’s it could and should become a new icon for Porsche.

I guess this car will not be the only sedan manufactured by a sports car company to take to the track. Regarding to news N.Technology has apparently been hard working in transforming the Porsche Panamera S into a veritable racer, and will soon place the car into high-speed competition. Well, I guess this will be great race match up.
