Oakley Design is a British tuning house that know their way with Porsche cars and to prove that, their latest work is a heavily toned down model of the Porsche Panamera. With a carbon fiber construction, the tuning house had managed to reduce the overall weight of the car by 75kg. Integrations like a tweaked rear spoiler, front splitter and 20-inch wheels, all in carbon, are responsible for this weight reduction. Performance wise the little beast has been tweaked with Turbo assistance and now outpus 680 horses. But in case you do not prefer a Turbo upgrade, even a slight adjustment to the exhaust and ECU will get you 580hp which is not meager by any figment of imagination.

Expert Porsche Tuner 9ff has revealed the details of the Porsche Panamera performance package. The styling kit includes a new front bumper to optimize air flow, a new front lip, redesigned side skirts and a new rear bumper. A large rear diffuser is bordered by four tailpipes two on each side. The 9ffPT-65 moniker is there on the engine cover and illuminated door sill protectors.

Under the hood there are rendered three different options with the basic one being the 9ffPT-55 capable of churning 550 hp and 760Nm of peak torque. The second option is the 9ffPT-60 which produces 600hp and 800Nm of torque and the top most variant is the 9ffPT-65 which grinds a whopping 650 horses at 850Nm of torque courtesy of the ECU upgrades. The Top model also has a 9ff sport exhaust system, new 9ff PT-65 turbochargers and a 9ff sport air filter.

If your Panamera is not enough and you still have the cash even though the economy has been slashed lately, you could consider the high performance Porsche Panamera GTS that have just been announced. Positioned above the Panamera turbo, the new GTS version is rumored to boast 500+ hp and should fly to 60mph in less than 4.0 seconds. Other than that, the new Porsche Panamera GTS is also expected to lose the heavy air suspention system in the Turbo version and get those traditional coil springs. No info regarding the price or availability so you’d better keep an eye on the new GTS if you like it.

Note : pics of the 2010 Porsche Panamera

Don’t you hate being poor? I mean look at the interior of the 2010 Porsche Panamera and tell me you’re not drooling all over that amazing large center console that flows all the way from the dashboard to the rear seats. With an amazing leather interior in a two-tone color scheme, a steering wheel with thumb switches, or a large navigation system, we can definitely say that the 2010 Porsche Panamera looks better on the inside than it looks on the outside. The luxurious car goes on sale in Germany on September 12, and the prices for the 4.8 liter S model start at €102,251 including VAT (around $130k USD). [via AutoBlog]

Everything about the new Porsche Panamera is official.

The Germans are going to introduce the exquisite Panamera in China at the Auto Shangai 2009 (this April) and plans on releasing it to the streets by the end of summer. They managed to build a car t doesn’t sacrifice space in order to keep the solid performances. Powered by V6 and V8 engines (direct fuel injection) that range from 300 to 500 hp, using six speed manual transmissions or a seven-speed double-clutch (optional), Porsche Panamera will also feature a Sports Chrono Package that will make it much more aggressive.

We’d definitely want to take it for a spin …

On top of the most wanted cars these year, Porsche Panamera is now official. First to get the scoop about the four door coupe, were the Dutch from AutoTelegraaf during the weekend, but today we have it all on paper from Porsche itself.

With an amazing exterior and an interior that will most likely get you drooling, Porsche Panamera is ready to take on Mercedes-Benz CLS, the Audi A7, the BMW CS concept or the Aston Martin Rapide. The biggest surprise however is under the hood where it should pack a range of V6 and V8 engines, that sport from 300 to 500 hp (some are turbos) and a special Turbo S version that is expected to get well over 600 bhp. Porsche also announced that they’ll be releasing a hybrid version, but nothing about diesel.

Sales for the Porsche Panamera start in 2009 in US, Europe and Asia, and they plan on selling 50,000 units each year, starting with 20,000 next year. – via
