We’ve gotten accustomed to some pretty intense tuning work done on the Porsche Panamera so it was a little surprising that the latest aftermarket company to make a program for the sports sedan erred on the side of subtlety. German tuner, Schmidt Revolution, used a Panamera 4S for its latest work, using a software optimization to bump up the output of the sport saloon’s 4.8-liter V8 engine from 400 horsepower and 368 lb/ft of torque up to 425 horsepower and 394 lb/ft of torque. Schmidt Revolution also lowered the car’s ride height by 40mm while also putting in a set of 22” alloy wheels wrapped in 265/30 R22 tires at the front and 305/25 R22 tires at the back. According to the German tuning company, an elaborate interior program, complete with bespoke leathers and trim, is also in the woodwork, although details are being withheld for a later date. From what we know, pricing for the disclosed options are as follows: €990 ($1,443) for the engine upgrade, €390 ($568) for the suspension module, and €4,900 ($7,141) for the wheel-and-tire set-up. We’ll be sure to keep you posted as more details of Schmidt Revolution’s program for the Porsche Panamera become available. .
23 comments: Porsche Panamera 4S by Schmidt Revolution The styling was great and impressive! It seems that Schmidt Revolution has made a gorgeous modification in the exterior of the car! However, its kind of sad that they haven’t upgrade the car into a more impressive output!
Well, I guess it would be better to less consider this car for there are a lot of Postie future car lined up for production! It seems that this car manufacturer focused more in the 911 and gt3 version.
Agreed, That this vehicle is no that impressive! And I think although it was featured in Top Gear, still its not clear to me if they want to praise this car or what?
Well, I really don’t think that this vehicle has an impressive performance. The Turbo in this car is quite useless I think its not that effective for the power output of this vehicle.
:I was wondering on why there are a lot of aftermarket version of this vehicle though it doesn’t sell good! And BTW, I think its engine is not powerful using the v8 technology . Sorry guys, but IMO this is just a pointless creation.
I bet with the fresher look of the M5 series no doubt that it could actually compete against the luxurious styling of this vehicle. Panamera doesn’t have a good sale compare to the M series. This car is just good to be displayed in the showroom.
hehe. Yeah, I have to agree they are not a best selling car! No Panamera running in the road not even in the NYC. I think this is just a waste of effort and time!
too bad that we have seen a lot of aftermarket version of this car though we haven’t seen them on the road!it seems that they are still in the showroom waiting for spring!
I like the aftermarket version of this car and I think it look perfect on black. However, for a powerful tire, I don’t think that 400 hp is just enough, I was looking forward for more powerful output.
