Default Modifying A GTS 101: Akrapovic and HRE



As far as luxury performance sedans go, few are on par with the Panamera GTS. And for the enthusiast driver, the naturally aspirated 4.8L V8 coupled with a stellar all-wheel-drive system and PDK make for an incredible driving experience. To further enhance that driving experience, there's nothing like a few carefully chosen modifications to bring this Panamera GTS to a league of its own.




We began with a set of HRE Wheel's most celebrated design, the P101. And to compliment the white paint, the Satin Bronze finish of the P101's do an incredible job. Coupled with the red calipers, and the tones work very well together.



To give the new HRE's their proper stance, the RENNTech Lowering Module was installed and set and just the right ride height for our client, make sure that drivability was not compromised.



And finally, the modification that brings a smile to your face when you give the throttle the beans: The Akrapovic Evolution Line Titanium Exhaust System. Fully constructed in titanium, this header-back exhaust system includes 4 titanium tailpipes, computer-optimized asymmetrical mufflers with a dual-mode exhaust valve system, and a link pipe with a resonator to eliminate any chance of incabin droning. The dual-mode system can be used with the Panamera GTS factory button to regulate the exhaust valves. This Evolution performance exhaust not only transforms the Panamera’s nature with a racing look and especially sound, but also adds more power and reduces weight.



Modification List:
2013 Porsche Panamera GTS
-22" HRE P101 in Satin Bronze Finish
-265/30/22 and 315/25/22 Pirelli PZero Nero GT Tires
-Akrapovic Evolution Line Titanium Exhaust System
-RENNTech Lowering Module

Here are some bonus shots of the GTS.

Is your equipment for '14-'16 PGTS's? Also, you claim more power from the exhaust system. Please explain that claim. How does one source 21" tires and are they necessary beyond looking better in a static mode? How much is the car lowered from stock sport plus suspension mode and how does it work in the real world where roads are not pool table smooth?

Andrew,

Yes everything shown will fit the new body style/facelift PGTS. The exhaust, being that is quite a bit more free flowing, there is not a HUGE increase in power but certainly a small increase.

Regarding the ride height, the Renntech Lowering Module allows you to go down UP TO 2.5+ Inches. The car is set at about 1" lower in standard mode which actually rides really nice. All the suspension modes are retained including raising the vehicle to overcome obstacles

Feel free to call us directly at 877-523-6747 and we would be more than happy to answer any further questions you might have!
