With the new wheels GT Sport und GT Sport-R, GEMBALLA Automobiltechnik GmbH & Co. KG presents two design versions for the Porsche Panamera at once. The rims which are especially attuned to the design language and technical requirements of the Porsche Gran Turismo are available in 20 and 22 inches and include a approval by the Technical Control Board TÜV.

Characteristic for the modern style of both designs is the matt black varnish with the five elongated and vaulted spokes. In the version GT Sport, the monoblock design enhances the noble character of the Porsche with visual finesse. On the other hand, the version GT Sport-R with its two-part look and the stainless steel decorative bolts especially emphasises the athletic standard. Modern manufacturing methods and the use of especial aluminium alloys guarantee highest loads at lowest weight.

The light alloy wheels GEMBALLA GT Sport and GT Sport-R are available in the dimensions 10 x 20, 10 x 22 as well as 11 x 22 (only rear axle) for all Porsche Panamera from 680 €. If desired, the car colour can be applied.

MANSORY Switzerland enhances the Porsche Panamera. The specialist for exclusive refinement of premium automobiles turns the four-door Gran Turismo into a power pack which is even more dynamic and exclusive and most of all has a significantly more distinct appearance.

Originally, the company owner Kourosh Mansory solely focused on British luxury cars, but meanwhile he has also proven his talent for Italian brands such as the Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano and automobiles like the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren. After the Chopster Cayenne, the Panamera is already the second Porsche which is given the honour to become entirely modified by MANSORY.

Also, the new Porsche will receive an individual design language according to the MANSORY tradition. Its engineers produce the new aerodynamics components in high-strength polyurethane (PU-RIM) and Prepreg-Autoclav-Carbon, the characteristic material for MANSORY. As the car is lowered by 35 millimetres and equipped with new wheels measuring 9,5×21 and 11,5×21 inches as well as a sport exhaust system, the new personality of the Panamera becomes significantly more visual and audible.

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.

The Panamera is a Porsche without compromise with all the drive, the passion and the polish of the legendary sportscar manufacturer. The body offers space for four, the chassis offers sportscar performance and the wheelarches provide more than enough scope for individual expression. As a Porsche specialist with the highest standards since 1985, Cargraphic now offers a full complement of light metal wheels to suit the most discerning palate. Produced in-house by Cargraphic in Germany to the highest design and manufacturing standards, the wheels range from 19-22”.

With classically designed cast wheels with U- and Y-shaped spokes, the Racing (20”) and Sport (21-22”) both provide the perfect balance between elegance and dynamism. As you’d expect from the delicate optics the wheels are exceptionally light, but they are also robust and more than able to carry the load. Both have a reinforced cast alloy inner bed and a polished stainless steel outer rim that enhances the look and protects the inner centre from damage.

The Model GT is rotation-forged and the mass only seems to focus on a few key points like the five muscular double-spokes, which by the way come with an additional crossbeam in the GTR, and their power renders extra unnecessary ballast obsolete. The light metal wheel is available in 20,21 and 22” and works in perfect optical and technical symbiosis with the Panamera’s big braking assembly. On the backside, the wheel has hidden air pockets to keep the unsprung mass to a bare minimum.

So to make a big impression on the street, choose the Porsche Panamera and I-10 (20-22”). The fan spokes are wide and run deep in to the edge of the wheel, so draw the eye in from the first glance. In the polished version the spokes pick up the light in dramatic style and the optional colours can make a big difference, too. Because of the hidden air pockets in the rotation-forged rim centre, the weight is astonishingly low, yet they’re strong and have a protective stainless steel outer rim.

The three-piece forged wheels stand as a true performance of engineering art. Just to make the centre of the wheel out of a slice-shaped blank takes a huge CNC machine 90 minutes. Before the wedding between the outer and inner rims comes the painting ceremony. Here the customer can choose from either painted, even in special colours, or polished with acrylic clear coating.

Flow-formed IS One is the perfect winter star

With winter tyres the Panamera rules the streets with an iron grip in the cold spells, too. Cargraphic recommends alongside the model Racing, the more cost-effective, flow-formed, cast aluminium alloy Intra Sport One (IS One) in 19”. The one-piece combined the classic Y- and U-spokes to create a dynamic design that comes with a wide variety of tailoring opportunities through the optional special painting. The light metal wheel comes in silver or black as standard.

In conclusion: Thanks to the exciting light metal wheels of Cargraphic the Panamera has a very appealing look in the summer and can keep its elegant expression throughout the winter.

Up until the year 2002, it was completely unthinkable to most people in Germany, and especially to sports car fans, that Porsche would at some point in time make a sports utility vehicle. The name Porsche has always been synonymous with thoroughbred sports cars, in most cases rear or mid-engined. However, the Cayenne proved to have the recipe for success. In the 2003/2004 financial year it moved almost 40,000 units and was by far the most popular Porsche model.

The “Zuffenhausen Bull” also quickly became popular with tuners, as it offered, both visually and technically, an outstanding basis for monumental show and performance projects. Less well-known than the market leaders, Chemnitz-based ENCO Exklusive have produced probably one of the best Cayenne interpretations with their ENCO Gladiator.

It’s the second glance that makes the difference

Even though the Gladiator is noticeably bigger and more powerful than the normal Cayenne at first glance, you have to look carefully to see how meticulously the team, centred around Jens Engelmann, have integrated their aerodynamic kit with the full size SUV.

What is not immediately obvious is the ENCO front apron right underneath the car with its huge air intake and its integrated rows of daytime running lights, another set of which can be found on the diffuser apron at the rear which has distinctive fins and a central opening for the exhaust pipe. The bonnet with incorporated air intakes is crafted out of carbon. Even less obvious is the roof spoiler with air flow openings and the widened side panels with recessed air vents which, along with the side skirts, make the Porsche appear more muscular and broad. Only Cayenne experts can really spot the aerodynamic styling just a few centimetres under the skirting-line at first glance. It’s “well hidden”, but forms a significant part of the dynamic performance of the ENCO Porsche. The two-tone black and Bordeaux red paintwork is also very classy.

700 PS thanks to the turbo upgrade

The Cayenne Turbo itself is far from lacking in the power department, but ENCO Exklusive couldn’t leave it at only 500 PS and sent the Gladiator to the weights room. Through the insertion of larger turbo chargers, an ENCO-designed sport exhaust system with manifolds and sport catalytic convertors and numerous further engine modifications, the supercharged V8 – which is officially called the “Gladiator 700 GT Biturbo” – possesses a hefty 700 PS and produces some 850 Nm of torque. Even weighing in at 2.5 tonnes, the Gladiator still races to 100km/h in only 4.5 seconds and can reach a top speed of around 290km/h.

At such speeds, the Gladiator carries such an incredible amount of kinetic energy that a bazooka could hardly stop it, and must be able to be brought to a stop in as short a distance as possible. For this reason, ENCO equipped this high-calibre projectile with a high-performance braking system with 410mm x 36mm brake disks and 12-piston callipers on the front axle and 380mm x 32mm disks with 4-piston callipers on the rear. Of course, such an impressive braking system requires a lot of space, of which ample can be found in the ENCO Jura alloy rims. They measure 11″ x 23″ and are compatible with the 315/25R23 Dunlop Sport Maxx GT tyres. An electronic suspension module for the standard Cayenne Turbo suspension lowers the car by 50mm.

Red carbon

The wow-factor is continued inside the car. There are four individual leather/Alcantara bucket seats taken from the Porsche 911 GT3 that have been further enhanced with carbon backrests and red carbon-fibre padding. Wherever you look, red carbon gleams: Fittings made from the high-tech material adorn the dashboard, the steering wheel, the centre console and the door lining. Likewise, the whole vehicle is painted red, including the roll cage.

Images of Lumma Design’s Porsche Panamera-based CLR 700GT have surfaced on the web. To give the Panamera an aggressive look, Lumma adds an extreme body kit with a new front fascia, a carbon fiber hood, and aerodynamic side skirts. Other changes to the car include 22-inch ‘Racing Edition’ wheels, rear fender vents, a carbon fiber spoiler, a four-tailpipe exhaust system, and a new rear apron with an integrated diffuser.

While details are not fully released, the car boasts 700 PS, a lowering module (which reduces ride height by 35mm / 1.38 inches) and a high performance braking system. We hope to release more details when Lumma officially unveils the CLR 700GT.

Cargraphic set out to prove that exact settings of all the parts, as well as even power delivery and a kind clutch, are superior in many situations to just straight horsepower. The Landau tuner proved that during an exciting showdown called “0-300-0” kph – a name that speaks for itself.

The acceleration from 0 to 100 kph was measured along with the 0-200 and 0-300kph times, followed by full braking from 300 to a standing start. So there are four events, with all counting towards the final result. A constellation of stars turned out, which cranked the tension up no end.

On the high speed oval in Papenburg the Who’s Who of sportscars came together on the 5th September, with stock street heroes going against the cream of the tuner world. Here the Cargraphic 997 Tu rbo GT RSC 3.6 had to prove, what his 624 PS (459 kW) could really do. With a catapult of a start and the best time of 3.0 seconds to 100kph, the Königsegg CCX-R, Gumpert Apollo, Aston Martin DBS nor the Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV could follow the tuned Porsche from Landau. Standard and other tuned Porsches with up to 700 PS (514kW) failed, too, even the 790 PS (581kW) Geiger Ford GT was no match for the Turbo to 100kph.

Geiger did take the honours in the 0-300-0 category, with an overall time of 30.3s, but that was the only car to go faster than the Cargraphic GT RSC 3.6. Once again another proof, that meticulous adjustments in the test sections are worth as much as the long cooperation with the development partners Bilstein, Dunlop and RS Tuning. Little note on the side: Cargraphic joined the duel with a conventional 6-speed ‘box and went against the current trend to prove that pole position can come with a gearshift. And before 200kph Cargraphic still led the way. With a peerless 9.1s to the landmark speed the Landauer was 0.4s faster than the Geiger-Ford GT and Gumpert Apollo. On his way part 300kph the GT made the most of its 166 PS power advantage and passed the Cargraphic 997 Turbo with a time of 22.8s. With a total time of 30.8 seconds for all four runs and a deficit of 0.5 seconds a sensational second overall was sewn up and the Cargraphic Porsche had more than proved its credentials by setting two fastest times.

With unmistakable styling, TECHART is presenting its tuning suite for the latest Porsche 911 Carrera 4S at the IAA International Motor Show. This customized Porsche combines perfect styling, sportiness and dynamism and embodies once again the basic principle of all TECHART products: OEM quality – Made in Germany. TECHART underpins this quality with its striking exterior design, enhanced aerodynamics and performance characteristics in addition to a stylish and exclusive interior.

Aerodynamics and design
The TÜV-certified Aerokit I is the successful outcome of intensive development work in the wind tunnel. At the same time, the PUR-RIM components fitted increase the downforce on the axles and also improve the driving stability. The front spoiler I underscores the dynamism of the 911 Carrera 4S and, by optimizing the air flow, helps to ensure effective cooling of the braking system. At the same time, side skirts emphasize the powerful contours. Depending on requirements, a roof spoiler and three versions of rear wings permit precision aerodynamic tuning on the rear axle. By way of example, back pressure air vents have been integrated into the variable rear wing IV along with an additionally adjustable spoiler lip (gurney flap). The dynamic character is also emphasized by decorative trims for the exterior mirrors – made from carbon fiber painted in the requested color, decorative headlamp surrounds, a low swung rear diffuser plus the new sports exhaust systems.

New TECHART flap-controlled exhaust system
For the Porsche, TECHART has developed two versions of a new exhaust system. The “Sport” version, for instance, features two rear mufflers with an exhaust flap, an exhaust flap control unit in addition to double-oval tailpipes in a polished or black chromium finish. The “Racing” version is also equipped with two stainless steel high-performance headers and a sports catalyst. Drivers can choose between either a production-vehicle-like sporty sound or a powerful racing car sound. The “Racing” version also helps to boost the performance significantly by 35 bhp in the upper speed range.

TECHART suspension
Firm sporty handling is ensured by TECHART’s VARIO coilover suspension in addition to a set of TECHART sports springs. The VARIO PLUS version is available for vehicles with PASM. Both systems feature coilover shock absorbers with an adjustable rebound and pressure stage plus special main and additional springs. TECHART Formula and Formula II alloy wheels, available as a five-spoke wheel in either a single-piece or composite design, underscore this sportiness. For the new 911 models, a light alloy forged wheel – the TECHART Formula III forged – is available in a twin-spoke design in a 19 and 20 inch format. By way of an option, the TECHART nose lift system is also available for negotiating curbsides and other ramps. At the touch of a button, it is possible to raise the automobile by up to 60 mm – even when driving at up to 60 km/h.

Individual in every detail – the interior
A plethora of different leather interiors, color-coordinated three-spoke airbag sports steering wheels, aluminum pedals and trim strips are just a few of the interior options available. Thanks to the TECHART craftsmanship, virtually no bounds are set when it comes to realizing a customized design. The silver-colored accentuating details are applied, for instance, to the dashboard and decorative door panels, to the trim around the infotainment system, in the center console, seat backrests and coat hooks.
