Mansory Porsche Panamera Turbo

MANSORY Switzerland devotes itself to the Porsche Panamera Turbo. The specialist for fine-tuning Porsche vehicles turns the Zuffenhausen Gran Turismo into a hot-blooded power pack with a 690 HP, a max. torque of 800 Nm and a spectacular body design.

Perfectly matching components turn the front section of the MANSORY modification into a dynamic highlight: the new front skirt with adapted LED daytime running lights in combination with the striking bonnet made of carbon fibre give the front section a distinctive character. Masculine broadenings for the wings and doors perfectly harmonise with the new side skirts. At the back of this four-door-car, an enormous carbon diffuser and the centrally located double end pipes of the sports exhaust system render a thrilling atmosphere. MANSORY decorates the originally hydraulic rear with carbon applications or entirely replaces it with a static wing profile made of carbon. The engineers produce the new aerodynamics components in high-strength polyurethane (PU-RIM) and Prepreg-Autoclav-Carbon, the characteristic material for MANSORY.

In addition to the exciting look, the MANSORY engine department developed a powerful performance  enhancement for the 4.8 litre turbo engine. The power pack contains an amended engine electronics, larger turbo chargers and a stainless steel sports exhaust system. Thanks to these modifications, the engine output rises to an astonishing 690 hp / 507 kW (serial: 500 hp / 368 kW) and pushes the torque to 800 Nm at 4800 r.p.m. Therefore, the 4WD-automobile accelerates from 0 to 100 km/ in only four seconds and achieves a top speed of 328 km/h (serial: 303 km/h).

The wheel-tyre combination has been especially designed for Porsche and renders sufficient grip: The latest development and highlight in the offered rim programme is an especially light 22-inch forged wheel in turbine design. At the front axle, the 9 inch wide wheels carry the high performance wheels Dunlop SP SportMaxx in the dimension 265/30ZR22 while the rear 10-inch wide wheels are equipped with tyres measuring 295/25ZR22.

In order to provide the driver directly with the experience of an automobile refined by MANSORY, the engineers included extensive refinements. A widespread leather interior can be individually matched with the most precious woods, finest varnish or dynamic carbon. The pedals made of brushed aluminium perfect the interior equipment. With the newly designed sports steering wheel, the driver can feel the elegance of the refined Porsche straight in his hands.

MANSORY Switzerland bestows an individual appearance to the Porsche Panamera. The complex refinement turns a sports car for journeys into a characteristic personality – after all a real MANSORY.

Lumma Design CLR 550 GT based on the new Porsche Cayenne

•A complete aerodynamic package increases its dominance on the road
•The self-assured appearance is emphasized by components made of carbon
•Its forged light-alloy wheels are available in 22 and 23 inches

For more than 20 years, LUMMA Design has been recognized as one of the fastest car tuners around. This applies to the engine performance of the vehicles as well as the pace to which the company reacts to new car models. The car tuner from Winterlingen in the German state of Baden-Württemberg presents its design development CLR 550 GT already for the launch of the brand-new Porsche Cayenne.

LUMMA Design provided the somewhat reserved appearance of the Cayenne with a tailor-made sports suit that radiates self-confidence. It comprises a new front spoiler with a deep drawn cup spoiler sword and additional carbon applications that give the Porsche an aggressive agile look. The added LED daytime running lights and the fog lights unit emphasise this self-contained design.

The new sporty bonnet, which is made from high-performance materials such as carbon and Kevlar, also demands to be recognised. The gill-like air inlets provide the best heat dissipation from the engine compartment, and the elevated windscreen wiper cover reduces the aerodynamic drag.

The bold wing extensions continue the aerodynamic optimisation of the Cayenne. The side skirts steady the airflow and guide the air through a specially designed channel to the rear brakes, thus ensuring a stable and optimum operating temperature. Customized openings in the door fixtures provide additional cooling. They continue seamlessly between the wider wheelhouse of the front and rear wheels. The total aerodynamic package makes the CLR 550 GT a force to be reckoned with on the road.

This impression is further reinforced by the massive light alloy wheels. LUMMA Design uses forged 11×23 inch aluminium rims with a deep wheel hub.

The individual shape of the rear end is also impressive. The heart of this design is the rear spoiler with its integrated carbon diffuser. Incorporated into the centre of the spoiler are the three stainless steel tailpipes, giving it the distinctive look of the design. Only LUMMA Design offers the visual appearance of a centre pipe flanked by two smaller ones. What’s more, the roof edge spoiler and the tear-off edge on the tailgate, both made of carbon, provide additional power.

By incorporating further design elements, LUMMA Design brings the transformation of the Porsche Cayenne to full circle. This includes headlight rings and tail light trims.

Increased performance features and a comprehensive luxury programme for fine-tuning of the interior are already on the table.

The Ferdinand GT3 RSX — The World’s Slowest Porsche

The car took over 1,000 hours to construct over the course of two-and-a-half years. As for engine size, forget it — this sleek model only goes as fast as you can pedal, being based on bicycle components. The car has even attempted a lap on the German Nurburgring, the infamous racetrack with no speed limits. Unfortunately the lack of a speedometer meant no accurate mph reading, and as for the lap time? A calendar would have been needed.

We don’t know how this would appeal to many except for its cause. Being an eco-friendly car, it’ll have it’s own set of fans. We’re referring to a supercar called the Ferdinand GT3 RSX. This car is dubbed as the slowest Porsche ever created. No brainer because it doesn’t have one of those powerful V8 engines. Instead, it will rely on your peddling skills – it’s like bike that’s in Porsche form. It weighs 100 kilos and took 2 and a half years to build. It’s made from lightweight materials such as aluminum foil, pipes, and scotch tape. This ‘Supercar’ is currently on display at the Museum of Art in Linz, Austria. $10,000.
