As it rolls off Porsche's assembly line, the Panamera Turbo is certainly no slouch. A stock Turbo develops nearly 500 horsepower and 516 pound-feet of torque from a twin-turbocharged 4.8-liter V-8. By bolting on some larger turbochargers, adding a new stainless steel exhaust system, and tweaking the engine management software, Mansory manages to coax nearly 690 horsepower and 590 pound-feet of torque. Top speed is reportedly in the realm of 204 mph, an improvement over the stock Turbo's top end of 188 mph.
Certainly, the wild yellow-on-blue paint scheme shown on this particular Panamera lends the project no favors, but the four-piece body kit -- which includes a gaping front fascia and an enormous rear diffuser out back -- doesn't exactly enhance the sedan's shape. Mansory replaces the stock hood with one crafted from carbon fiber, while a rear spoiler is crafted from the same material. Fender flares have also been added largely to fit the new set of 22-inch forged wheels.
Inside, the Panamera's cabin is largely stock, although Mansory bathes it in leather hides. Interior trim can be crafted from either carbon fiber or a variety of woods, while aluminum is used to dress up the pedals. Although this car sports a retina-scalding décor pattern, customers can order a car to their precise tastes.
For whatever reason, Mansory places a badge on the rear bumper proclaiming its custom Panamera to be a limited edition. We can't help but be thankful for that fact -- we're not sure we're ready for Mansory-tuned Porsches to become a common sighting on our local streets.
