  • Porsche Panamera Turbo by Overdrive

    Overdrive has presented their latest project based on Porsche Panamera Turbo. The Bulgarian tuning company has given the stylish four-door coupe an attractive red aluminum wrap. The sports car is really stunning and will be easy distinguished among the other vehicles.

    Panamera Turbo rolls an enormous 19” alloy wheels fitted with performance tires in size 255/45 ZR19 and 285/40 ZR19 (front/rear).
    Porsche Panamera Turbo is powered by a 4.8 liter twin-turbo V8 with 520HP (382 kW) at 6,000RPM and 700Nm (519 lb-ft) at just 2,250RPM. 0-100 km/h in 4.2 seconds and a top speed of 305 km/h (189 mph). The curb weight is 1,970 kg.

    Other special features include a complete sport exhaust system and LED headlights provided by TechArt. The engine received a slight tuning package boosting it from 520HP (382 kW) to 580HP (426 kW). So the acceleration to 100 km/h will be cut with around 0.2 seconds and the top speed will be around 315 km/h (195 mph).

    The fuel consumption is just 10.3 liters / 100 km on combined cycle, which is exceptionally good considering the astonishing performance and the heavy weight of the four-door coupe.

  • Gemballa GTP 700 Being Really Quick On The Nardo Ring

    GEMBALLA-GTP-700-Porsche-Panamera-Turbo-shadowGEMBALLA-GTP-700-Porsche-Panamera-Turbo-medium

    The Nardo Ring test track, borrowing its name from the town of Nardo Italy because of the relative proximity of the two, is a 7.8 mile circle track with a constant bank. So, due to its specific nature no car is truly capable of reaching its top speed. We don’t want to get all technical. Let’s just say that because of the angle of the outer-most lane (the fastest one) there’s more downforce on the inside wheels of the car and then some stuff happens and you can’t go as fast as you would on a straight track.

    Still, you can go really, really fast. Manufacturers keep setting Nardo specific benchmakrs, and one of the most recent is the deed of the GEMBALLA GTP 700 – A Porsche Panamera Turbo-based aftermarket monstrosity. As the name suggests, it boasts 700 hp. To get from 0 to 60 in it would take no more than 3.3 mph seconds. Also, 0 to 120 mph takes 9.6 seconds, and 0 to 180 mph 26.5 seconds. How far up did it go on the ring, you ask? 211 mph. Independently verified by trade journals such as AUTO BILD, SPORTSCARS and Continental.

    GEMBALLA are especially proud with the fact that the GTP achieved that completely unmodified in all of its two-ton glory. “The huge 22-inch wheels, unique to this car in the starting field of cars with a performance of more than 300 km/h, were entirely unaltered, as was the full equipment including rear-seat entertainment facility. In addition, the weight, the engine as well as the aerodynamics remained unchanged and were not adapted for this particular occasion,” says Andreas Schwarz, CEO of GEMBALLA, who drove the car himself.

    Don’t take his word for it. See it for yourselves:

    2014 Porsche Panamera Turbo S Executive is actually a long-wheelbase version, which extends the car by 150mm giving more room inside the cabin, especially for the rear passengers.

    The Palladium Metallic exterior color, which is available solely for the new Panamera Turbo S, gives the top model an especially exclusive look and enhances the classy, elegant contours. An indication of the vehicle’s outstanding driving dynamics is provided by 20” 911 Turbo II wheels, which are not only larger but also significantly wider than the standard wheels belonging to other Panamera models.

    Last, but not least is the four-way rear spoiler, painted in the same color as the exterior, which is another unique feature.
