Lumma Design's Porsche Panamera-based CLR 700GT

To give the Panamera an aggressive appearance, Lumma adds an extreme body kit with a new front fascia, a carbon fiber hood, and aerodynamic side skirts. Other changes include 22-inch 'Racing Edition' wheels, rear fender vents, a carbon fiber spoiler, a four-tailpipe exhaust system, and a new rear apron with an integrated diffuser.
While details are limited, the car boasts 700 PS, a lowering module (which reduces ride height by 35mm / 1.38 inches) and a high performance braking system.
Look for more information to be released when Lumma officially unveils the CLR 700GT.

Porsche Panamera Available for Rent from Avis Germany

People travelling in Germany and/ or those who can't afford to buy one can now rent a Porsche Panamera S or Panamera 4S from selected Avis rental points. According to Avis Germany, daily rentals (Monday to Thursday) will start from €189 while weekend packages (Friday to Monday) will be offered at a minimum price of €567.

This is quite a coup for Avis to avail the Panamera so soon after its launch. Renters will be able to enjoy its massive V8 power combined with the practicality of a four-door sedan, the luxury of a home lounge and the driving finesse associated with any other Porsche product.

The selected locations can be found in some major cities and at certain airports. Unfortunately the service is offered exclusively in Germany.

Porsche Panamera Tuned by 9ff and Russian firms Top Car and Cardi

Our Russian friends over at Cardesign have sent us a new set of sketches depicting one of the first tuning proposals for the just revealed Porsche Panamera sports sedan. Although it was initially believed that 9ff was the only one company working on the Panamera, turns out that the German tuner has also joined forces with two Russian companies, called "Top-Car" and "Cardi". The role of each firm in the tuning project is defined as follows: Top Car will handle the management and marketing, Cardi the design and 9ff, the performance upgrades and production of the bodykits..

This isn't the first time that the three tuning firms have collaborated on a Porsche project as last year, Top Car introduced the Cayenne-based Vantage GTR.

According to the folks at Cardesign, Cardi has designed two distinctive bodykits for the Panamera. The complete kit replaces every external body panel aside from the rooftop while the second package adds new front and rear bumpers, side skirts and a restyled bonnet. In both cases, the visual upgrades are rounded off with a set of newly designed alloy wheels. 9ff has not disclosed any details about the mechanical upgrades it is preparing for the Panamera

It remains unclear whether or not the Panamera project will be offered exclusively by Top-Car and/or by 9ff.
