As far as body kits for the first-generation Porsche
Panamera go, Mansory’s C One tune is up there with similar products from
TechArt, Lumma Design and a few other tuners.
The collective goal was to make the ungainly
Panamera more aggressive, while also boosting power in various stages –
although not all tuners did both. Mansory takes pride in their
extreme creations and the C One package for the Porsche Panamera 970 certainly
qualifies.
According to the German tuner, the 4.8-liter
turbocharged V8 received new electronics, larger turbos and a stainless steel
sports exhaust system, raising power output to 690 PS and pushing
torque to 850 Nm. Straight line acceleration thus improved to 4
seconds dead for the 0-100 km/h sprint, whereas top speed is now 328
km/h.
On the outside, the Panamera C One features a custom
front fascia with LED daytime running lights, a carbon fiber bonnet, wider
wheel arches, side skirts and a custom rear fascia with a massive diffuser and
a fixed rear wing. This particular car, spotted in Warsaw by DannyZDR, doesn’t
appear to have the carbon fiber bonnet though.
