Default HOW ABOUT THIS PANAMERA

I thought this kit was WAY over done, but had some great ideas in it...leave out a few of the over the top blingy things and man it would make a VERY NICE Panamera! The rear and front fender flares give it a bit of a 928 GTS look to me.... The hood treatment should go, and the front and rear facia's should integrate better and not be so blingy...

I saw this over on the Ferrari Chat page...tell me what you think!

Listen to the ET at (the 2.38 mark in video) 7.8 seconds in the 1/8mile isn't that as quick as supercharged 928 even thou mph is lower on these cars et is very fast because of pdk with launch on the Panamera nice run for a 4300lb car.
7.8/.65= is about a 12second 1/4mile car

I really did not think it was possible to make the Pana look any fuglier ... guess I was mistaken ...

Looks like a Nismo GTR

I'd like to see a 928 parked next to that monstrosity, to show what a bloated overweight stupid vehicle it is.

What kind of car is it ?
Is it a 350ZX with body kit ?
It does not look good.

IMO it looks okay'ish and certainly better than stock.
Actually those rear flares remind me of 944 Strosek:

Techart is the way to go if you have a Panamera.

The wing, though a little overdone, does shrink up that huge rear end a little.

I think James is on to something.

If you left everything else alone on the original Panamera and only added the wider front fenders and rear hips the Panamera could look pretty cool. Add the tint to the rear windows and maybe the wing and it gives the car a coupe appearance. Food for thought Porsche.
