TechArt Completes Porsche Panamera Individualization Program

[Kilometer Magazine]

With every modified Panamera that debuts, it's another chance for enthusiasts around the world to look at the car again and decide whether its a true Porsche or a strange, sausage-shaped mistake for the brand. Granted, most of the critics haven't experienced how great the car is to drive, but that's what makes the internet so wonderful. Anyway, the highly-regarded Porsche tuning house of TechArt has finally announced a full Individualization Program for the Panamera, meaning they had a reason to get their car (three cars, actually) out for a photo shoot. . .

FULL STORY AND GALLERY

Wow you're right, those little covers over the taillights really do help. Unfortunately, they don't help the rest of the car (other than the front end, which I like.)

I think the Panamera gets judged pretty hard--it's an attractive car overall I think, with a lot more character than some of the other big sleds. I'd dare say it looks better than a Quattroporte. They did try to hard to get the 911 butt into the design though. And next to the Aston Martin Rapide, well, yeah.

I have to agree, pictures do not do this car justice.

I 've seen a rare few on the road, but they are low, wide, long, and menacing looking (especially in black).

Unlike the awkward worn bar of soap Cayenne, the Panamera works really well as a 911 4-door.

If I had the means, I would have one parked in the garage.
