Say what you want about the Panamera, but fact is the sports saloon model has proved to be a hit for Porsche with the company having delivered close to 10,000 units in the first five months of the year alone. The Panamera�s success has of course caught the attention of the aftermarket industry with more and more companies jumping on the tuning bandwagon. This here proposal comes courtesy of Afzal Kahn and his crew.
European Porsche shoppers will soon have the option of ordering a diesel-powered version of the Panamera sports saloon. The most fuel-efficient model of the Panamera range is equipped with a Porsche-tuned version of the VW Group�s widely used 3.0-liter V6 TDI employing common rail direct injection technology and electrically controlled variable geometry turbochargers (VGTs).
The six-cylinder unit produces a maximum output of 250HP (184 kW) between 3,800 rpm and 4,400 rpm and a peak torque of 550Nm (405.7 lb-ft) available from 1,750 rpm to 2,750 rpm. The V6 is hooked up to an eight-speed Tiptronic S transmission while a start/stop system comes as standard. The Panamera Diesel is offered exclusively with rear-wheel drive.

The Porsche Panamera continues to draw attention from Europe�s aftermarket tuners, only this time, Schmidt Revolution�s proposal for the sports saloon is far more subtle than what we�re used to.
The German tuner starts with a standard Panamera 4S, which leaves Porsche�s factory with a 4.8-liter V8 engine churning out 400-horses and 500Nm of peak torque. The performance modifications, courtesy of Rennsport, include a software optimization (�990 or about US$1,443) that increase output to 425HP and 535Nm, along with a suspension module (�390 or around US$568) that lower�s the ride height by 40mm and sport exhaust system (�590 or about US$860).
Less than a year after the market launch of the second iteration of the Cayenne, Porsche has introduced a revised version of the SUV�s diesel engine while also improving and adding new options to the rest of the range. Beginning with the Cayenne Diesel, the 3.0-liter V6 oil-burner has been reworked by Porsche engineers and features a new turbocharger with improved response and greater efficiency, increased direct injection pressure to 2000 bar and a lighter crankshaft.
He double clutch transmission in the 2010 Porsche Panamera 4S works wonderfully, donating to driving flow and fuel economy, while the alterable suspension leads to impressive cornering. Navigation considers 3D maps, and the Bose stereo produces a fantastically refined sound.
The Panamera's name is derived, like the Porsche Carrera line, from the Carrera Panamericana race. Earlier prototypes and concepts of the four-door saloons, such as the 1991 Porsche 989 prototype, the four-door 911 based prototype, and the C88 concept (a supermini sedan built in Germany and sold for China), never went into production.
