If you’re a tuning addict who loved the cars at the SEMA Show, but prefer more European models, then the 9ff Porsche 997 Turbo Speed9 debuting at the Essen Motor Show is for you. The Essen Show in Germany always has the top of the line European makes and models on display, so don’t miss out if you’re nearby. This Porsche 997 Turbo has been inspired by the legendary 356 (circa 1955) with roots coming from the 997 Turbo cabrio. Featuring the 3.6-liter twin-turbo, 9ff was able to obtain 650 hp from the stock 473 horsepower. The 6-cylinder sports car received an aftermarket exhaust, ECU tuning, and a new catalytic converter. These are impressive numbers for some simple modifications, and the tuners didn’t stop there.

Recent images of the Porsche Panamera Stingray concept by the Russian tuning firm TopCar have been released showing a new body kit that looks impressive. This is just a rendering for now, since it appears these pictures have been photoshopped. The body kit is called the Stingray and we’re wondering if there is any resemblance to the old Chevy Corvette Stingray design. Russian tuning company Cardi helped TopCar in designing the aerodynamic kit which consists of several carbon fiber body parts and panels. New alloy wheels are part of the package for the Porsche Panamera along with new bumpers, air vents in the front bumper, side skirts, and a new rear wing.

The new four door Porsche Panamera has been a hit on the tuning market lately, and Gemballa hooked it up with a nice wheel package. Gemballa is currently developing several tuning kits for the Porsche Panamera, however they have not made them available to customers just yet. Until then, Porsche owners will have to settle for the wheel kit that features 22 inch GT Sport rims. The wheels come wrapped with 265/30/22 tires in the front, and 315/25/22 for the rear. On the riveting edge of the wheels Gemballa painted it black to match the rest of the demonstration car. You can expect the several tuning kits in production for the Porsche Panamera to be revealed by Gemballa in early 2010. The new tuning package should include a fully tuned Panamera with modifications to the engine, suspension, and bodywork.

The factory Porsche Cayenne twin turbo V8 produces 500 hp, and that is nothing compared to the ENCO Gladiator 700 GT Biturbo. Featuring a full roll cage inside, carbon fiber racing seats, and so much body work to make Jenna Jameson seem natural, the Porsche Cayenne was also boosted to 690 horsepower. This car is definitely not a sleeper, with its red rims, an additional 190 horses, and revised front end that looks mean as hell. The Gladiator Porsche Cayenne has been lavished with carbon fiber throughout, and the fancy 23″ wheels fit nicely with the large fender flares. Now the need for a full roll cage on a Porsche Cayenne, I think they went a little overboard with this one.
