    740 hp Edo Competition Porsche Panamera Turbo Moby Dick























    Moby Dick with 750 PS: edo competition presents the most powerful Panamera Turbo
    with a host of goodies

    A Panamera Turbo doesn’t distinguish itself as the most understated looking vehicle on the road, but edo competition takes it a step further still.

    So far the specialist company from Ahlen in Westphalia has mainly had sports cars from manufacturers such as Aston Martin, Bentley, Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche in its order books, but now edo competition has taken on a four-door sedan from Porsche, and completed a customization project incorporating numerous upgrades.
    An important visual ingredient is the aerodynamics package from Mansory, which was installed on customer request. The new rear valance provides a lot of room for the high performance exhaust system developed by edo competition, featuring four large stainless steel exhaust tips and butterfly valves.

    The edo electronic lowering module offers precise handling and improved vehicle dynamics. The new 22 inch wheels do their part to enhance the Panamera’s athletic appearance. If desired, the wheels can be custom painted to match the exterior of the vehicle or to provide a contrast.

    The main focus, however, was on performance.
    It’s not that a stock Panamera Turbo is short on power, but if a customer asks for an extra helping, edo competition is more than happy to accommodate these wishes and come up with a professional solution.
    After a development time of almost two years, the technicians have finalized an engine that is – in contrast to the efforts of others – not the result of a project with ever-increasing power targets and a multitude of tweaks, but one that was designed for big power from the outset. The output of the Panamera’s twin-turbo V8 was increased from 368 kW / 500 hp to 551 kW / 750 hp, enabling the four-door sedan to accelerate from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in under 4 seconds, and to achieve an electronically governed top speed of 340 km/h (211 mph), depending on the tires used.

    As part of the engine modifications, the exhaust system was also completely redesigned. The revised tips complement the design of the new carbon fiber rear valance and a fantastic exhaust note adds to the driver’s enjoyment.

    An upgraded interior provides the finishing touch. In order to perfect the visual and sensory aspect of the product, edo competition also devotes attention to interior upgrades. According to the customer’s wishes, leather and fabric are combined with the finest wood, lacquer, metal or carbon fiber surfaces. All of it custom made and therefore unique. Perfect stitching on dashboards and seats as well as personalized interior accents showcase world-class craftsmanship. Steering wheels, consoles, pedals, seats or a complete interior; virtually everything can be tailored to the customer’s tastes.

    All modifications are carried out exclusively at edo competition Motorsport GmbH in Ahlen.

    It was fun while it lasted...

        you can tell by the interior that it isn't really made to be a racing car like the 911. I don't entirely dislike the design, but I do feel it's not quite there yet.

          I saw a Panamera when I was in Eastern Europe a few months ago. I must say that the design is growing on me, so to speak.

            The TECHART GrandGT – extraordinary, confident and uniquely sporty. As of now exclusive Carbon Styling Kits are available for the distinctive individualization program for the Porsche Panamera. For highest demands on quality, design and sportiness.

            Carbon fibre components convince with extraordinary product properties such as an impressive dimensional stability, a great strength and a low intrinsic weight. The selected exterior components, which are made of carbon fibre, create unique highlights at the entire car. The front apron with the front grill insert and splitter in carbon fibre shows the viewer the dynamic and sporty design approach of the TECHART GrandGT. Even at the rear of the Panamera, the high-tech material is used in a generous way at the diffuser as well as at the gurney flap of the dominant rear spoiler. Refined air ducts at the flanks of the car complete the carbon fibre components in the exterior of the 4-seater.

            With the Carbon Interior Kit the driver can experience the sportiness and elegance of the TECHART GrandGT also in the inside of the car. Carbon fibre trims at the dashboard, the door panels as well as the center console panels in carbon fibre and the illuminated door entry guards in a carbon fibre look ensure a high presence of the material also in the interior.

              I love Techart! One of my favourite tuners for German autos. They did a whole special on them on the Speed Channel a while back.
