The Swiss tuners at Sportec have released a new upgrade package for the Porsche Panamera turbo called the SP560.

The most important tweaks to the Porsche Panamera were under the hood where the biturbo V8 was modified to produce 552 hp and 790 Nm of torque. After the engine tuning, the Sportec Porsche Panamera SP560 is able to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.8 seconds, with an overall top speed of 315 km/h.
