Post TechArt Concept One - Panamera




TechArt will proudly present its Concept One design study at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show. Pieces are seamlessly integrated into the main bodywork for a factory look. One example is the front apron with integrated air inlets that also serve to provide a better air flow for the intercoolers. Also, the lights package combines "daylight headlights," parking lights and turn signal lights as an LED system unit in one housing assembly.
Fenders and side skirts integrate easily with the wheel arches while at the rear the height-adjustable spoiler goes well with the diffuser and four tailpipes. Rounding off are 22-inch forged light alloy wheels in a dull platinum grey colour.
The engine features a carbon fibre cover. For the range-topping Panamera Turbo the standard 368kW (500 PS / 493 hp) is supplemented with an additional 110kW (150 PS / 148 hp). Naturally, TechArt is withholding the details until Geneva.
Some interior luxury is provided courtesy of full leather finish in a cocoa and white colour combination, alcantara roof lining, an optional 3-spoke PDK sports steering wheel and an optional 10.2-inch ceiling monitor with integrated DVD playe

I think its pretty HOT. I am not sure about the wing though. Thats going to give you worse rear visibility than an EVO

Thumbs up

^^^ actually, that huge wing works for me since it takes away the frumpy butt look....I like this tech art on the panamera. Is this the same tech art as the other one (memory too foggy if the first one was the "concept one")?

with a car this fast, you don't need to worry about looking in the rear view mirror to see who you just left in the dust

Hot, but IMO the treatment works better on the sports cars in the Porsche lineup.

do you have to take your shoes off when entering this car?
white carpet in a car seems like a stupid idea to me

I think they should have left the wood trim alone on the interior . Its looks a little too Vegas hotel

Sorry, but that thing is ridiculous. I don't care how fast it is. Who's the intended customer, the busy oil sheik who likes to work on his laptop at 150 mph and is buddies with the guy that owns the "white gold" SLR? Okay, one guy really needs it.

Where do you think it would rate on Top Gear's Cool Wall? Yup, seriously uncool.
