Porsche Panamera 4S with a 4.8-liter V8 engine churning out 400-horses and 500Nm of peak torque.


The Porsche Panamera continues to draw attention from Europe’s aftermarket tuners, only this time, Schmidt Revolution’s proposal for the sports saloon is far more subtle than what we’re used to.

The German tuner starts with a standard Panamera 4S, which leaves Porsche’s factory with a 4.8-liter V8 engine churning out 400-horses and 500Nm of peak torque. The performance modifications, courtesy of Rennsport, include a software optimization (€990 or about US$1,443) that increase output to 425HP and 535Nm, along with a suspension module (€390 or around US$568) that lower’s the ride height by 40mm and sport exhaust system (€590 or about US$860).

Key to the package is a new set of 22-inch alloy wheels from Schmidt Revolution wrapped in tires size 265/30 R22 at the front and 305/25 R22 at the back (€4,900 or about US$7,141).

Schmidt Revolution said that it is also working on an interior package with bespoke leathers and trim, details of which will be released at a later date.
