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.
