The tuning company from Ohio called Switzer Performance has created a perfect performance kit for the Porsche Panamera. They didn’t add a whole bunch of body modifications, and instead decided to tune the Porsche where it would have the greatest effect. Under the hood you will find a direct-injected V8 with twin turbos and the Switzer P680 hardware. Two new turbos give the Porsche Panamera a better boost response with their billet compressor wheels, while the cooling system have been improved with a new intercooler.
