The Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo dresses up for Geneva thanks to TechArt

Modifications are often associated with flashy elements and eye-catching aesthetics, but there are companies that aim to stand out through elegance and exclusivity. This is the approach taken by TechArt, the tuner whose main goal is to squeeze every last drop of sportiness out of Porsche models, among others. On this occasion, the Panamera Sport Turismo has been chosen to represent the German company at the Geneva Motor Show, but to do so it has undergone a series of changes, both aesthetic and mechanical.

The Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo is presented as the estate version of the German saloon and, after passing through the tuner’s hands, it has gained some very interesting modifications. Without a doubt, the second-generation Panamera is a very streamlined and sporty vehicle, but it has moved up a notch thanks to the work carried out by TechArt.

The exterior of the Panamera Sport Turismo has been modified with subtlety and refinement, without losing sight of the strong sporting character that the tuner brings to Porsche vehicles. We find a body kit featuring a much more prominent front bumper, which accentuates the natural lines of the German estate. We also notice wider wheel arches and lowered suspension, complemented by 22-inch wheels. Finally, this ensemble is enhanced by the body colour, which is finished in Racing Green.

The bottle-green tone helps the silhouette of the Panamera stand out, but the TechArt team was clever enough to create an interior that lives up to it. The first thing that catches the eye is how harmoniously sportiness and elegance go hand in hand, just as they do on the exterior. Most of the elements that bring the cabin to life have been upholstered in brown leather, a colour that contrasts perfectly with the green tone that takes centre stage on the slender curves of the German estate.

These modifications may be more than enough for many of those present, but they are not for the engineers at the German company. The Porsche Panamera Turbo, the variant on which the tuner’s work is based, produces 550 CV as standard, extracted directly from a 4.0-litre V8 engine. However, after passing through TechArt’s hands, the Panamera is able to raise its performance to 640 CV and 900 Nm, figures capable of delivering a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 3.4 seconds.

Without a doubt, this modification is a very interesting option to give our Panamera an even more special touch. This TechArt-prepared variant will be present at the Geneva Motor Show alongside other creations from the company, such as the Porsche 911 GT3 we saw a few months ago.
