Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo Gets the Techart Treatment

Techart is heading to the 2018 Geneva Motor Show with at least four Porsche projects.

Headlining Techart’s lineup is the world premiere of its new Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo project, called the GrandGT Supreme. The exterior receives a new Techart GrandGT styling package, along with 22-inch Techart Formula IV wheels, a Techart sport exhaust system with titanium and carbon fiber tips, as well as a custom painted body in Racing Green.

The interior of the customized Panamera Sport Turismo gets an overhaul as well, with un-embossed Nappa leather being used. The famous tuner says the vegetable-tanned hides are free of chromium and are finished solvent-free. There’s also a custom Techart steering wheel and painted trim panels, matching the exterior body shade.

Power has been increased to 640 horsepower, while maximum torque is 664 pound-feet. As a result, the stylish Sport Turismo goes zero-to-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 3.4 seconds.

Joining the Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo project in Techart’s booth at Geneva is a modified 911 GT3, which includes a carbon fiber sport package, the Techart GTstreet R Cabriolet based on the 911 Turbo S, and a Macan to show off the Techart range of products for the crossover.

Review: Saying Goodbye to the CC V6

For all its size and its global reach, Volkswagen is still, in many ways, a deeply human company. There was, for instance, the Bugatti Veyron an ego project if ever there was one. Then the purchase of Ducati, a move most called folly. And then there was the Phaeton, the Volkswagen that most folks can’t afford. Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

More 3.0-Liter TDI Settlement Details Expected by January 31

Volkswagen and the TDI Plaintiff’s Steering Committee were in court today for another status conference following the agreement in principal reached earlier this week. Little new information was given at the conference held before Judge Charles Breyer today, but the court ordered the parties to develop a formal settlement agreement, class action notices, and a class notice plan by January 31, 2017. For now, though, owners still don’t know how much to expect in compensation. Elizabeth Cabraser, lead Counsel for the Plaintiff’s Steering Committee reaffirmed in a statement today that the compensation would be “substantial.” The potential cost to Volkswagen is widely reported to exceed $1 billion, though, with an additional $225 million going into an environmental trust to help offset excess emissions. Buy back offers are still only expected for the oldest 20,000 of the roughly 80,000 VW Group vehicles sold in America with the 3.0-liter TDI engine. Those vehicles are mostly SUVs, like ...
