Here are some images of the Porsche Panamera CLR 700GT concept that have surfaced on the web from the car tuners at Lumma Design. Giving the new Porsche an aggressive appearance, Lumma design hooked it up with an extreme body kit. New body styling includes a front bumper, carbon fiber hood, and aftermarket side skirts. The Porsche Panamera features 22 inch racing edition wheels with a very deep dish, rear fender vents, a carbon fiber spoiler, four pipe exhaust system, and a new rear bumper with integrated diffuser. The new four door Porsche has limited details from Lumma Design, however the power under the hood is not disappointing.

Here we have a customers car from the American based tuners at Vivid Racing, a Porsche 997 C4S that received some expensive parts. Recently Vivid Racing released their Porsche 997 Twin-Turbo that accomplished a staggering 800 hp. For this car tuning project they started off by installing the NR Auto replica TechArt body kit, which gave it a new aggressive look. With the new car styling, the customer felt the need for aftermarket wheels to complete the aggressive body kit, and went with the HRE P43 wheels. The wheels measure 19×8.5 in the front, and 19×11 in the rear, and allows them to fit flush with new Porsche 997 widebody styling. These monoblock wheels definitely alter the appearance and add new dimensions to his car. Check out the photos after the jump and visit the guys at Vivid Racing for all your Porsche needs.

The final generation of the Limited Edition Mansory Chopster is about to be released at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Tuning the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S is not an easy task, but the new Chopster by Mansory is even more stunning and full of exclusive customizations. Mastering the body styling, Mansory also adjusted the aerodynamic components to go along with the 710 hp. It is a true state-of-the-art vehicle with carbon fiber pieces throughout to optimize the performance. This lightens the automobile, improves acceleration, handling, fuel consumptions, and reduces the braking distance. Apart from the lightweight body materials, this Porsche Cayenne Turbo S received a complete engine makeover for the already powerful V8.

The guys from Vivid Racing have completed their Porsche 997 Twin-Turbo with outstanding results from the two Garrett GT3076rs turbos. Their goal was to obtain 800 crank horsepower, and after factoring in a 25 percent drivetrain loss on the Mustang Dyno, final numbers show 642 awhp and 616 ft lbs of torque. Using Softronic ECU flash technology they were able to pull everything together, and used VP 109 fuel to get these final performance numbers. On the dyno, the Porsche 997TT was run at 1.4 bar of boost, but if you are running on pump fuel of 91 octane, it is recommended to only run 1.0 bar of boost. With 93 octane you can run 1.2 bar of boost, and this is easily controlled with the Greddy Profec B Boost Controller.
