TopCar: Stingray GTR (based on Porsche Panamera) news **Orange Version (page 1)**

Press release...

Company TOPCAR ( www.top-car.ru ) presents a new tuning program for the Porsche Panamera, which was called "Stingray GTR".

We’d like to remind you that the company had already produced aerodynamic body kit Porsche Panamera Stingray before. This body kit was made to enhance the shape of a standard car.
Later, the company TOPCAR received a lot of clients’ requests who would like to have more aggressive and "charismatic" car.

Therefore, the company TOPCAR decided to create an entirely new and "all-sufficient "car based on the Porsche Panamera. This time we outstepped a simple design improvement of the factory model. Most of body elements have been re-created. It includes front and rare bumpers, bonnet, front and rare fender extenders, front and rear doors, side skirts. That’s the reason why you can’t call the Porsche Panamera Stingray GTR a classic aerodynamic body kit. It is essential to highlight that the car has become much wider. Extended wings, advanced air vents, sharp outlines of blade front bumper and bonnet, strongly-marked rear diffuser and spoiler on the boot lid, all this created absolutely new aggressive style. Rear doors and wings are visually combined. Now, to open the back door, you need to press a small button and the door opens automatically.

All new bodywork components made from carbon fiber and Kevlar by company TOPCAR itself.

Porsche Panamera Stingray GTR is a limited range, which includes only 25 cars. Each car in the range will have its special features and be unique in one’s way.

The exterior styling costs from 45,000 Euros.

It’s obvious that our tuning program involves both design and variety of other technical improvements. The programs to higher engine performance are available for Turbo version cars. A new sport air filter, intake manifold, motronik and valved exhaust system increases car power by 600 hp. Moreover the power might be increased by 700 hp in case sophisticated modification of the engine.
It is also possible to insert sports brake system Brembo.

Company TOPCAR offers its clients improving of car interiors according to individual design project and customer’s particular preferences.

Currently we’ve already received four orders for the Porsche Panamera Stingray GTR.

I gotta admit, I see a lot of Panameras around Vancouver, I'm NOT going to say it's growing on me, but I don't hate it as much as I used to. But that profile view is still what ruins it for me.

Side shot is the only view of the Panamera that looks bad. The back glass/roof line is a bubble. It would look better if it were concave instead if convex.

chops anyone?

Wow that actually looks pretty good (with the exception of the side shot).

But why call it a Stingray? I dont think the Stingray name is suited for this application.

Also the interior, while I understand they're going for a black on black theme, it could use some more contrast.

Looking at this again, it's better than the Panamera. But you would think they would have given it a different name than Stingray....

That bubble is killing it. Why don't they just make it into a sedan? Would look 100x better I think!

Tuners have taken it upon themselves to try and fine-tune out the mistakes made by Porsche's design of the Panamera.

The problem is that you can't fine-tune the mistakes because they're baked into the design of this unfortunate automobile.

The only company that has pulled off a decent job on the Panamera is TechArt (as usual):

Got a rare glimpse of a Panamera on the highway last night. My wife really loved it. I'm getting used to the "stretched" look....
