I kept telling people that this thing may look nice with a drop and a set of nice wheels. The aero kit set it off. In this fashion it will make the people on the side walks drool

Now that is how it should look like from the factory. At least now it looks decent.

I agree. At least the stance (very wide and low for a sedan) is menacing.

The best looking cars are attractive even before the wheel/tire/suspension/body kit mods begin.

when I first saw the Panamera rendering, I thought it was the most hideous thing ever!

But once I saw the real deal it started to grow on me! the Techart version is on point! I love it!

Looks quite a bit different than the earlier photos. Subtle differences make them look like a totally different vehicle.

I am still amazed that an aero kit could make this car look good. I am floored by the quality of the interior

A friend of mine just returned from Germany and he loves this car in person... as he said "bubble butt and all!"

The TechArt version is pretty slick considering what they had to work with.
I still think it looks too much like a Cayenne.

For my money, I'm rockin' a Quattroporte.

It appears that Techart's front bumper is substantially shorter than the stock Panamera's. Notice the front overhang. Or is it the angle of the photo?
