Porsche’s cars have always been a favorite of tuning companies. There’s so many of them in fact, that any Porsche owner looking to make some changes has a real buffet of modifiers to choose from. They range from the discreetly upgraded examples, where more time has been spent on raising performance levels than trying to raise eyebrows. And then there’s the bold and brash modifications which can be seen from the orbiting ISS. The TopCar Porsche Panamera Stingray GTR falls into the second category.

But that’s not to say its all spoilers, grilles and power bulges, it is that too, but they’ve been surprisingly well thought out – with the possible exception of the Cheshire-cat inspired front grille.

TopCar already produce a modification package for the Panamera called the Stingray. But at the request of some clientele in search of a more extreme package, they added GTR to the end of the title and gave the car wider arches, new bumpers front and rear, a new hood and new sideskirts. The new bodypanels are formed from carbon fiber and Kevlar, helping justify the 45,000 Euro ($63,000) price tag for the body kit alone.

TopCar only intend to produce 25 examples of their Porsche Panamera Stingray GTR, and each car will be custom tailored to the buyer’s specifications.

As standard, the Panamera Stingray GTR will come with no engine modifications. However, and for a price, if you want them to slap the kit on a Panamera Turbo, the company will offer a range of performance modifications designed to raise the power levels – but only for the turbocharged Panamera. Fitting a sports air filter, new intake manifold and new sports exhaust will increase output to 600 horsepower. Another 100 hp can be gained by what TopCar dubiously call; ‘Sophisticated modification of the engine’.

The only other modification available is an optional Brembo brakes system.
