Most interesting is the new Powerkit upgrade for the Turbo, which boosts power by 40 horsepower to a
total of 540 horsepower, reducing 0-60 mph times to 3.9 seconds, just a tenth quicker than the standard
Turbo. Top speed rises 2 km/h, or about 1.2 mph to 189.5 mph, yet despite the performance increase,
it still manages a combined Euro cycle of 20.5.
The price of the Powerkit is even more substantial, however, at 16,695.70 euros including VAT, or about
$21,500. It will be available for new Panameras from September, and can be retrofitted to existing
Panameras courtesy of Porsche Tequipment from November.
Also announced today is a new Sport Design Package, which features a unique exterior color, widened
black air intakes, new side skirts, and standard rear underbody and diffuser. Available from October,
the new Sport Design Package will cost 4,851.50 euros (including VAT), or about $6,250. The side skirts
can be had separately for 969.85 euros, or roughly $1,250.
Finally, a new set of 20-inch Sport wheels measuring 9.5-inches wide up front and 11.5-inches wide in
the rear, available in a range of exclusive colors, will also be available for new and existing Panameras
for 1,588.65 euros or around $2,000.
As with all euro-to-U.S. pricing, expect the final figures to be somewhat lower on our side of the pond.

 

Very nice to see more options being available, of course for cost, I would like to know how this option can be installed for exisiting 2010 models, and believe $2,000 price tag for sports wheel is only for upgrade cost from standard 19' turbo wheel

 

But is this coming to the USA? When?

My dealer assured me these options were *not* available on Porsche NA Turbo allocations thru December of this year.

 

panamera with black sports wheels= win

 

"the Powerkit treatment includes Porsche's Sport Chrono Turbo Package, and if the car is driven in Sport Plus mode, torque output is further increased to 590 lb-ft."

$500/hp

 

Does anyone know what all is included with the Turbo Powerkit? I think the exhaust, sports chrono is bundled as part of that package.
