    Tuning doesn't always mean an improvement...

    http://www.sportauto.de/einzeltests/techart-grandgt-im-tuning-test-tuner-beschleunigt-porsche-panamera-4022492.html

    Test result: 0-100 kph in 4.0 seconds and 0-200 kph in 13.7 seconds...with claimed 580 hp. Smiley

    I clocked (PerformanceBox, three runs average) my factory loaner from 0-200 kph at 11.8 seconds. Smiley Claimed power: 540 hp.

    couldn't it be that your factory car has more HP dan 'claimed'? Anyway: WLS has always had a very conservative figure compared to reality, let alone a 'test car' ;)

    Well the speedart pana turo was with 50 secs pretty Slow up to 300kmh...

    but Heat development seems to be a factor from standstill up to 300 km/h... Different story if you Start at 100 km/h for High Speed Runs. ( many 0-300 Times are calculated 0-100+ 100-300kmh=

    by the way had a chat with Kelleneres the quote for there 660 hp step 1 m5 28 secs up to 300 km/h. Modified by ECU and exhaust..

    Actually they got 3,8 and 12,4 s (it's in the article) after a little fine-tuning.

    But yes, it is still no faster than Turbo S (3,7 s, 12,4 s from Sport Auto as well).

    I would never ever buy this kind of tuner GT. Beyond the data the car looks horrible. enlightened
    Comparably the original Panamera looks like a pretty blossom
