Swiss tuner Mansory->ke3403 has been in the aftermarket business long enough for it have established a reputation as one of the best to ever do it. It’s programs grace some of the best luxury->ke505 and performance vehicles on the market that now includes the Porsche Panamera->ke1840. Mansory’s program for the Panamera features an extensive list of modifications that bring out the best in the German saloon. We’ve seen many tuners work on the Panamera before, but there’s only a handful of them that can really claim to be on the level of Mansory.

For this program, Mansory worked on giving the Panamera a more refined appearance to complement its enormous engine upgrade. It’s actually nice to see the aftermarket company restrain itself from its usual over-the-top styling tendencies.

We can even make a case that the program’s combination of efficient aerodynamics and the massive engine upgrades make for an impressive kit that owners of the Panamera should consider when looking for an aftermarket modification for their beloved German luxury sports sedan->ke506. If I had a Porsche Panamera, Mansory would be near or at the top of my list. That’s how much respect I have for a company that has been doing its thing longer than some of us have been alive.

Porsche Panamera By Mansory in detail

It’s imperative for the tuner to use only the best materials on the market for its programs, so don’t be surprised to see an extensive use of high-strength carbon-fiber and resistant polyurethane RIM on the Panamera’s bodywork modifications. The hood, the front spoiler, the side skirts, the rear apron, and the fender extensions are all made of the good stuff, ensuring a significant cut in weight that helps the saloon achieve peak performance capabilities.

A program this comprehensive requires a centerpiece, and in this case, that it's the engine upgrade. Mansory decided to use its new Power Packet system for this specific job. Featuring modified turbochargers and a supplementary control unit, the Swiss tuner was able to increase the output of the Panamera Turbo’s 4.8-liter, V-8 engine from 520 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque to 680 horsepower and 663 pound-feet of torque.

The impressive performance bump is more than enough to cut the Panamera’s 0-to-60-mph time from 3.9 seconds down to 3.6 seconds to go with a new top speed of 196 mph, a lot better than the 189-mph top speed of the standard Panamera.

Mansory always considers the interior of any car as the driver’s place of zen. That’s a big reason why it doesn’t impose on its customization, insisting that customers do it for them. But that doesn’t mean the company can’t do a fancy dress-up of its own, especially when called upon to do it. This particular Panamera showcases the company’s interior design chops, while also leaving the possibility open for customers to have their own say. Leather and carbon-fiber are two materials that the tuner uses to complement the fine wood finish on this example.

A Mansory aftermarket program isn’t complete without the some new wheels making an appearance. In this case, the tuner opted to install a new set of 22-inch, fully forged, monoblock wheels with a “Spider’s web” design. Customers also have the option of eschewing this set for customized designs, ensuring the kind of aftermarket exclusivity that Mansory is known for.
