We are inclined to disagree with Edo Competition’s claims that its new Porsche Panamera Turbo S tune with 700-horsepower is the most powerful version of the saloon ever as a quick look at our archive proves otherwise; the tuner itself had presented a 750HP version of the car called “Moby Dick” back in January 2011…
That’s not to say the Edo Competition’s Panamera Turbo S isn’t fast. On the contrary, thanks to a series of modifications ncluding new exhaust manifolds and turbochargers, high-flow catalytic converters and air filters plus an ECU tweak, the V8 gains 150HP and 130 Nm (96 lb-ft) of torque for a total of 700 horsepower and 880 Nm (649 lb-ft).
According to the German tuning house, the upgraded Panamera Turbo S completes the zero to 100km/h (62mph) sprint in 3.5 seconds and reaches 200km/h (124mph) in 11.4 seconds, as opposed to 3.8 seconds and 13.5 seconds respectively for the stock model.
In addition, the 700-horsepower sports saloon reaches an electronically limited top speed of 340km/h (211mph).
In order to put all those ponies on the road, Edo Competition has fitted the Panamera with a lowering module that brings the body 30mm closer to the ground while the car now rides on new 22-inch wheels in a carbon-fiber finish shod in stickier and wider tires.
On top of these modifications, Edo Competition also offers an exterior package and numerous upgrades for the interior.
