Mansory Porsche Panamera Pictures


Controversial tuning firm Mansory has revealed its latest garish creation, the Mansory Porsche Panamera Turbo.
The Swiss firm has finished its Panamera in a striking bright blue colour with yellow trim inside and out.
Other exterior additions include a carbonfibre bonnet, new front and rear spoilers, wider wheel arches and a new carbonfibre diffuser.

The full leather interior also comes in blue and yellow and can be specced with either wood or carbonfibre trim. Aluminium pedals also feature.
Mansory hasn’t just changed the Panamera’s styling, however. Power has been increased to 681bhp, up from the standard car’s 493bhp. Torque has also been increased to 590lb ft.

These increases have been achieved by remapping the ECU, adding larger turbochargers and by fitting a new sports exhaust.
As a result, the Panamera Turbo can get from 0-62mph in 4.0ses (0.2sec faster than the standard car) and reach a top speed of 203mph (15mph faster than the standard car).
The car is available to order now, although no pricing has been revealed.

2010 Ferrari 458 Italia by Oakley Design


British tuning firm Oakley Design has just released a new package of upgrades for the Ferrari 458 Italia.

Production will be limited to just 5 cars, each bearing a unique build number plaque.

Outside of this Limited Edition model, individual parts will also be made available for clients who do not require the complete package.

Wind tunnel testing proved that the carbon-fibre front spoiler lip adds 45kg of downforce over the front axle at 150mph (240km/h), while the racecar style centrally positioned radiator vent now channels air out over the bonnet instead of under the car. This vent also helps to boost the airflow at the base of the front windscreen, benefiting aerodynamics.
