FAB Design: Custom Panamera (based on Porsche Panamera) news

Press release...

FAB Design has refined the new Porsche Panamera and turned the conservative, standard product into a dream car.

The tuners from Mellingen have expanded their programme from one originally limited to Mercedes to now include the FAB Exclusive Line. Here, mainly in accordance with customers' wishes, small numbers - limited to no more than 15 - of other luxury brands are developed. In such a way were Maybach and McLaren refined. The FAB Panamera is, therefore, the first - but definitely not the last - vehicle from this new series that doesn't come from the house of Daimler.

The sport limousine modified for the first time by FAB catches the eye mainly because of its extrovert Wide Bodykit. Its made of a sportily redesigned front element with powerful cooler intakes and an all encompassing front spoiler. The front hood and other external accessories are naturally made of real carbon.

The eye of the beholder falls immediately on the widened wing that takes in the rear passenger doors so elegantly that the vehicle seems more like a coupé. In addition the side skirts were made to fit the design and connect the line of the front apron with the rear of the vehicle - on which is enthroned a completely new form of rear spoiler that receives the optimum air stream from the roof spoiler and that ideally fits the vehicle's performance. Beneath it can be found the FAB rear skirt with an integrated diffuser and three trapeziform, centrally placed endpipes.

The carbon fibre rear wings mentioned above are designed to improve the output at the rear of the vehicle, then the engineers from Mellingen haven't let the performance go unnoticed.

After the modification the 4.8 litre turbo delivers up to 700 PS. By mounting a lowering module the vehicle's centre of gravity is lowered by around 20 millimetres. A sports braking system that peeps out from behind the three-part, 22 inch spoked rims takes care of the appropriate negative acceleration.

I like the first pic. Best image of a Panamera I have seen yet. The rest of it though is back to Panamera ugliness...

haha ^ agreed.

overall forms on the front and rear bumper are an improvement, but the detail/execution is atrocious.

saw my first one (stock) on the Henry Hudson on Saturday. it fit into the mix like any other 60k+ sedan. that said, it wasnt impressive for the price/exclusivity...by a long shot.

The rear seriously looks like a robot's face. IMO the exhaust fugliness sets a new standard.

I like the side. The back looks like that luxury catamaran that was posted somewhere around here.
