MC Customs and Savini Wheels Show off a Porsche Panamera

Miami's own, MC Customs, went postal and installed a Mansory Kit onto a Porsche Panamera and added Savini SV8s wheels.







Mansory or not, body kits are horrendus.

Mr Cartoon talks LA Car Culture with Rob Kardashian

The guys at Sanctiond Car Care (Mister Cartoon and 'em) released a video about Rob Kardashian as he talks about LA Car Culture. He talks other stuff as well, but we're only touching on the car aspect. But I do love tattoos as much as the next person, seeing how I have a Yankees one. Watch the video, and I'll give my usual feedback.



I was pulling for Rob Kardashian. He starts out by saying he loves old school cars, and kind of gave an insight about what he loves about Los Angeles Car Culture, and I respected him for it. Rob continues by saying that Bruce (his step dad) gave each of his genetic sons an old-school car which they had to restore themselves (more respect). Then you see Rob hauling down the street in an Oldsmobile that's the same age as I am. And I'm thinking "Uh Oh, he might actually know a thing or two about Los Angeles Car Culture". But the moment was shot and killed when you see Rob speeding down the street in a white Porsche Panamera, which has nothing to do with Lowriders.

He made it so close, but yet so far.

Of course the video looked great- because it was shot by Estevan Oriol and thankfully he gave it that Southern California feel.

I still think Khloe has more street-cred than Rob.

Akon's Porsche Panamera Turbo Presented by Butler Tire

Atlanta's Own, Butler Tire had the pleasure of working on Akon's Porsche Panamera Turbo. And as you remember in the past, when I talked about his cars, Akon has a thing for white cars. So after owning Ferraris, Bentleys, Lamborghinis, and the Mercedes SLR McLaren, you know the Porsche Panamera wasn't too far behind.







I think it's interesting when celebrities have a fleet of cars in a specific color. Sometimes they have a specific reason why, then others just happen to like that color.

Cartunes of Atlanta Customizes Megatron’s Porsche Panamera

You know I had to google Megatron because I honestly thought I was about to talk about a cartoon character, but come to find out, it's a football player. Anyhow, Cartunes of Atlanta had the pleasure of customizing Calvin "Megatron" Johnson's Porsche Panamera.

So far, CarTunes added Dual 10″ W6 enclosures covered in blue suede, JL Audio HD Amplifiers, Focal K2 Power Speakers, JL Audio ZR 8″ Midbass Drivers, Blue Suede Headliner, Custom High Flow Cats and Down Pipes, High Flow Intake, Custom Tuning, and there's more to come. Check it out...











I have to admit, that shade of blue is gorgeous. I've noticed that they forgot to mention the smoked tail lights and the color matching on the aftermarket wheels.

Not bad. Not bad at all...

713 Motoring gets their hands on Lawrence Vickers' Panamera

(I may not know football, but I do know that the car above is the Jaguar I've been crying over. And not the Panamera that I'm about to talk about)


The Hardworking guys at 713 Motoring released a video of one of their projects- A Porsche Panamera belonging to Houston Texans' Lawrence Vickers. (You know I had to google Houston Texans to find out that's a football team.) Anyway, it started out stock and once Brandon and the crew got their hands on it, it was a done deal. Check it out...



I'm not a fan of red, but it does look good. But... *whispers* I like the Jaguar above way more. And I don't do football, but I will appreciate the cars that the players drive.

P.S. This Saturday marks the beginning of New York Yankee Season. Saturday is the first Preseason game, but if you go to Tampa to see them, don't expect A-Rod, Derek Jeter, CC Sabathia, or my baseball crush Robinson Cano out there. Their season starts in April.

Roadstarr Motorsports Shows off a Stealth Porsche Panamera Turbo

(Don't cry, this is the Before photo)

LA's own Roadstarr Motorports released photos of a Porsche Panamera Turbo done the best way anyone could customize a car- Stealth style. According to Roadstarr, "The purpose of this project is to finish off what the Germans did not get a chance to do with class and style. The budget for this project was a mere $49,850.00 (not much for a vehicle of this magnitude). Roadstarr Motorsports is well known for creating the “wow effect”, and that’s exactly what was accomplished on this project “Stealth”."

(During)

"The Stealth Project was first and foremost completely striped down to its chassis, followed by engineering aerodynamic effects to make sure that this lion stays on course when the foot is put to the metal. After vigorous tests and analysis, the team decided to use the Aerodynamic aesthetics of World renowned German Tuner “TechArt”. It was a perfect match since Roadstarr Motorsports has a long history relationship with TechArt. The wheels were designed by Roadstarr’s team. The object of the wheels was to keep within the German racing appearance as well as making sure that the big 22” wheel does not create extra weight to keep up with. The wheels designs were precision engineered to minimize UN-sprung mass and rotational inertia's. This was accomplished by utilizing technology used in the aircraft manufacturing industry. The material used is aerospace grade 6061-T6 forged aluminum and stainless steel fasteners. With that said, the team design was based on a three piece wheel. As the body was being prepared to undergo a full paint job, the rest of the team decided to re-engineer the factory ECU (electronic control unit) to make it more management efficient. Thus, adding a whopping extra 45hp to this lioness beast. The factory headers were replaced by custom built headers using titanium headers with an integrated 100 cpsi metallic catalysts. The factory exhaust system was simply thrown out and replaced with a custom built stainless steel exhaust system that’s light without compromising any engineering thus increasing the power on the Stealth an additional 27hp."

(And after...)

Not bad, not bad at all. But everyone knows I'm a sucker for anything stealth and/or completly blacked out. Yes everyone, there is a difference between the two.

Bangalore got its new Porsche Panamera S

Porsche Panamera S Bangalore

The new Porsche Panamera S is in Bangalore! Good Lord, I am wondering who the owner is? He must have true passion for automotives and handsome cash growing in his backyard, to be driving around in a dream car (which usually stays in one's dreams).

Until 2009 Porsche, the German marquee known for its two-door excellence upset many Porsche purists (especially die-hard fans of Porsche who believed Porsche was the mother of two-door cars). However, the Panamera's appearance with its long hood and rear hatch resembling a stretched version of its iconic 911 meant it looked fantastic. It also boasted an exhilarating power package and offered excessive luxury. The Panamera has a sumptuous interior loaded with modern technological amenities and expensive leather upholstery. Whoever believes it to be a four-door coupe, let me tell you it’s not. It’s a four-seater Porsche, with performance figures to match many two-seater sporty devils!

The Panamera is a four-door luxury sedan with a coupe profile, weighing at nearly 1,800kg. This beauty was unveiled at the 13th Auto Shanghai International Automobile Show in China (April 20090. The name Panamera is derived like the Porsche Carrera line, from the Carrera Panamericana race.

The design language of the Panamera has not changed from its typical Porsche philosophy: form should follow function. With the distinctive proportions and lines you can clearly say it has the Porsche factor. The wings are slightly higher than the bonnet and, at the rear, they are distinctly muscular and form the typical Porsche shoulder line.

The Panamera S is equipped with a 4.8-litre naturally aspirated V8 engine that produces 400hp and 500 Nm of torque. The Panamera S accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.6 seconds, with a top speed of 285 km/h. These figures are bound to get your heart pumping to jump in and try.

Porsche Panamera is said to be more exciting and a higher performing alternative to the traditional executive saloons such as the BMW 7 Series, the Audi A8, and the Mercedes-Benz S-Class. However, Panamera competes more directly with cars like the Aston Martin Rapide, the Maserati Quattroporte, the Mercedes-Benz CLS-Class, and the BMW 5 Series Gran Turismo.
