    How to make Panamera 'smaller'

    Bigger (wider) side grills and smaller center grill and visual effect works .

    Re: How to make Panamera 'smaller'

    To be honest, I see the differences but I don't get the feeling that they're making the Panamera smaller, maybe if you look at it closely.

    Re: How to make Panamera 'smaller'

    You did not only make the cars appear smaller, more so and primarily wider in stance. What Ferrari or Lamborghini would approve however does not necessarily work on a Porsche (resp. their philosophy). To make it appear smaller, the easiest way would be to increase the size of essential elements such as rims, air openings and lighting elements but this only works to a certain extend.

    On top of it, it´s not the front of the Panamera that needs to appear smaller, rather the rear...  Smiley

    Re: How to make Panamera 'smaller'

    I think this more ' powerful '  front would balance out the rear , too .  ( rear would be less dominant )

    Re: How to make Panamera 'smaller'

    The front looks IMO much better. The car looks sneak, wide and flat.

    Great improve! You should start producing aftermarket bumpers. Or carry your idea to one of the tuners!

    Sorry but I still can't really see any major difference, at least not in size.

    Eunice should make an "alternate these two pics" feature which would swap two pics every seconds to show the differences better!

    Misha,

    IMHO choice of exterior color is essential for Panamera. I would choose Carbongraumetallic or Amethystmetallic. Black also looks good.

    Lightet shades? Avoid them for Panamera...

    Kreso ,

    It would be nice to have a problem - which color to choose .   If so , I would go for Basalt black metallic .

    Could you believe that this 2 Panameras are practically of same size .  Length is 100% same .  Slight reposition of cabin ( glass house )  , within 2cm  max.  and small correction on front door ( mirror area )
