The new Porsche Panamera Turbo S gets yet another tuning kit from edo competition, a well-known German tuning house. In terms of power, the German model gets a power boost to 700 horsepower and 880 Nm of torque. This is a significant upgrade from the standard Panamera Turbo S which offers 550 horses and 800 Nm of torque.
Edo competition also released performance figures on the new model, the acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h being possible now in 3,5 seconds while the top speed increases to 340 km/h. We hope to see even a greater tuning package considering that they already offer a revised version of Panamera Turbo which delivers 750 horses, more than the tuned Turbo S.
Other improvements include a high-flow catalytic converters, air filters, stainless steel exhaust system, a revised ECU unit and new exhaust manifolds.
The Germans from edo competition also offer a new suspension module able to lower the ground clearance by 30 mm. On the styling side, the Panamera Turbo S gets a new set of 22-inch racing wheels fitted with high performance tires.
Porsche combines all the darsieble attributes of a car into a complete package: style, refinement, engineering excellence, brilliant power, luxury (in the German sense of the word), quality, and legendary handling and braking. I have a black/black 2010 Carrera S with PDK and while I was always of the opinion that ALL Porsches should have a clutch pedal, the performance of PDK is simply amazing.We also have BMWs and a direct comparison to Porsche is unfair. BMW also produces great, great machines. I have a Euro ’85 M635CSi (E24) I’ve owned since new that I will never give up because it is just that excellent. For me, other M cars have come and gone (E28, E39, E60) but the E24 most personifies what M is all about. Things inherently rare, beautiful, and well-crafted are worth the time and cost of caring for well. That’s how I feel about my BMW and 911 (997).
