It would be a cool swap.
You can spend the same money you would spend on just that engine and get a twin turbo system for your 928 that will produce more power than that. And you wouldn't have to have any special wiring harness's made, no one off fabricating, etc.
Those panamera turbo engines can be hot rodded up to at least 740 HP by the way.
AHLEN, Germany — Edo Competition, one of Germany's better known tuners, is usually brand-agnostic when it comes to tweaking supercars. But it does know a thing or two about Porsches — especially fast Porsches. It's also happy to fashion a one-off special to customer order, which is how the Porsche Panamera "Moby Dick" came about.
Edo started with a Panamera Turbo and, at the buyer's request, fitted a Mansory body kit to the big four-door. Then Edo dove under the hood and began to do what it knows best — squeezing more juice, in this case from the twin-turbo Porsche V8.
The result is an increase in output from 494 to 739 horsepower, which in turn slashed 0-60 acceleration to less than 4.0 seconds and boosted top speed — still electronically governed — to 211 miles per hour.
Edo added an electronic lowering kit and 22-inch wheels, as well as a carbon-fiber rear valance shrouding four massive stainless-steel exhaust tips.

It's not the idea of getting the most power the easiest way... This is the age-old human condition of climbing a mountain because it's there...
Plus, I just wanna do it! I would love to drop it in an '87 put a Strosek Ultra kit on it, paint it Metallic Black and then satin wrap, with a full red leather interior...
If this job, family and house wasn't in the way... lol

Or you could spend even less money (comparing complete kits) and get similar power just by bolting on a Superchager kit from one of these Rennlist sponsors:

The link Soupcan posted was for a twin turbocharged Panamera engine for $15,000. If he had posted a supercharged Panamera engine I'm sure I would have mentioned a supercharger kit.
Speaking of which, it's been mighty quiet from the Murph camp these days. I thought for sure you guys would have cooked up something good over the long cold winter. Come on, spill the beans!
Back on topic. Is there someplace to find the details of this type of engine ( Panamera turbo )? Things such as dimensions, red line, variable cam timing or not, etc. Any idea?
