Default New Panamera Edition 3.6L need more power

I test drove the car I wanted to to buy with 10 miles on the odometer so I did not put my foot into the throttle. I figured this is going to be my car, so I did not really test the power on the test drive. Needless to say, I bought that car and now am not too thrilled with it's performance. I knew it was rated at 0-60 at 6 seconds and assumed I would be happy with that coming from a Lexus GS350. Is there anything I can do to up the power without breaking the bank?

I had the same issue with a 2012. The power was OK in cooler temps but above 70F it felt underpowered. After 2 years it was traded for a GTS. I'm not aware of any cheap solution for the 3.6.

Don't know if there are tuner kits for that engine, but if there are I would avoid them. Modifications to Porsche's degrade the cars.
