Techart, the company famed for modifying Stuttgart's finest, has turned its hand to the
Panamera S and the four-wheel drive 4S and, although most of the major components have remained the same, there are some significant changes to the exterior and interior styling.
The Panamera gets a Techart-designed body kit, which includes a three-part front spoiler. According to the company, the reshaped front-end ensures that the maximum amount of cool air is channelled towards the brakes. At the rear of the car, changes have been made as well, seen in the bespoke exhaust kit. Even though Techart has not overhauled major mechanical components, the new exhaust system may release a few extra horsepower and could possibly hint at a power upgrade in the future.
As well as the body and exhaust kits, Techart has supplied its own wheel options. These come in 21-inch 'Formula' or 22-inch 'Formula II' designs, the latter apparently being extra light.
Aside from the exterior changes, Techart has made its mark on the interior decor as well. Customers can individualise the cabin with stitching and roof lining that matches, individually coloured instrument dials and newly released Techart wood trims that line the doors, dashboard and centre console.
Techart will have a stand at the
Geneva Motor Show in March.
