Press Release) FAB Design Porsche Panamera: A Full Broadside
FAB Design has refined the new Porsche Panamera and turned the
conservative, standard product into a dream car.
The tuners from Mellingen have expanded their programme from one
originally limited to Mercedes to now include the FAB Exclusive
Line. Here, mainly in accordance with customers' wishes, small
numbers - limited to no more than 15 - of other luxury brands are
developed. In such a way were Maybach and McLaren refined. The FAB
Panamera is, therefore, the first - but definitely not the last -
vehicle from this new series that doesn't come from the house of
Daimler.
The sport limousine modified for the first time by FAB catches the
eye mainly because of its extrovert Wide Bodykit. Its made of a
sportily redesigned front element with powerful cooler intakes and
an all encompassing front spoiler. The front hood and other external
accessories are naturally made of real carbon.
The eye of the beholder falls immediately on the widened wing that
takes in the rear passenger doors so elegantly that the vehicle
seems more like a coupé. In addition the side skirts were made to
fit the design and connect the line of the front apron with the rear
of the vehicle - on which is enthroned a completely new form of rear
spoiler that receives the optimum air stream from the roof spoiler
and that ideally fits the vehicle's performance. Beneath it can be
found the FAB rear skirt with an integrated diffuser and three
trapeziform, centrally placed endpipes.
The carbon fibre rear wings mentioned above are designed to improve
the output at the rear of the vehicle, then the engineers from
Mellingen haven't let the performance go unnoticed.
After the modification the 4.8 litre turbo delivers up to 700 PS. By
mounting a lowering module the vehicle's centre of gravity is
lowered by around 20 millimetres. A sports braking system that peeps
out from behind the three-part, 22 inch spoked rims takes care of
the appropriate negative acceleration.
