2011 Anderson Porsche Panamera Review

It is a rare case, when the car from Porsche is expected with so much excitement, as the current Panamera 970, that was first presented to an astonished public in Shanghai in April 2009. The USA has - not surprisingly - emerged as its preferred market area.

The company ANDERSON Germany headquartered in Dusseldorf, has taken on the Porsche Panamera of 4S category adopted in the Black Edition and has initially provided a body kit that includes front apron, a set of side skirts, rear apron and spoiler. The air inlets from the left and right emphasize the sportiness of the vehicle.

The headlight trims were mutated to a quasi-evil eye. And LED daytime running lights including tinting are simply a part. The exclusive air intakes in the bonnet fit the character of the Panamera perfectly. On the one hand, the complete satin black painting adds the car the "innate sharpness" of the race car; on the other hand, it reminds of one of those "radar-resistant" flying machines. Mirrors, grille, door handles, logos, tailgate and window frames painted in glossy black present a contrast. Together with the window tinting and the tinted front and rear lights, the appearance is almost grandiose.

ANDERSON has achieved the performance increase from 400 to 485 hp now, with a correspondingly higher maximum torque both by an exhaust system with Rennkats and software optimization. As for exhaust system: With a three-way remote-controlled valve, additional 17 hp can be achieved. That remains the link between the car and asphalt surface: The rims in dimensions of 10x22 inches, inside which one can see the red-painted brake calipers, were fitted with tires in dimensions of 265/30-22 inches at the front axle and 295/25-22 at the rear. All of that is still height adjustable in three levels by pressing a button, but just 40 millimeters.

The interior features the front and rear red LED footwell lighting, of course, dimmable. In this entourage, there can be only a complete interior finishing in carbon leather and black Alcantara with red trim and diamond seams. Thanks to ANDERSON, the diamond stitching is used on the Alcantara roof lining again. An ergonomically sculptured, exclusive sports steering wheel attracts the driver's eyes. Carbon trims, steering wheel, front and rear center console and door sills complete the picture, where handles and roof panels are also painted in gloss black - with red logo and black border.
