2012 Porsche Panamera Turbo

In general, German tuners aren’t known for their restraint in the visual department and Anderson Germany’s latest take on the Porsche Panamera Turbo is no exception to the rule.

If you’re looking for a subtle makeover, you may as well skip this post altogether because Anderson Germany has gone wild with its cosmetic proposal. The tuning firm starts by wrapping the Panamera sports saloon in a matte red vinyl cover.

Anderson Germany then adds a bodykit comprising of an exposed carbon fiber bonnet and rear hatch, while the same materials make an appearance on the exterior mirrors.

A new front bumper with a gaping grille, side air vents, rocker panels, a different rear bumper with Audi R8-like air outlets and a diffusor, plus tinted lights and a rear wing are also included in the package.

The final touch is a set of black 22-inch alloy wheels with a red outer rim shod in tires size 265/30 up front and 295/25 at the rear complete the exterior makeover.

Inside, we find quilted black leather and red piping adorning the new sport bucket seats, door panels and parts of the dashboard and steering wheel, Alcantara headliner and tons of decorative carbon fiber, plus a new infotainment system.

Anderson Germany completes the tune with a 40mm lower suspension and an engine kit that includes an ECU upgrade and a custom exhaust system to boost the Turbo model’s V8 engine to 585-horses.
