A Panamera? Wow...

When Porsche unveiled their super controversial Panamera, the initial impressions were mixed. If it’s not the extra set of doors, it’s the oddly shaped hatch that has the enthusiasts up in arms. But regardless of the opposition, we can all agree that it is not a surprise to see Porsche racing and N.Technology leads this thought. They have extensive motorsport background in building and managing racecars from touring, rally and GT cars. They are renewing their long tradition of race engineering production leading to the building of the very first Panamera racecar. Back in February 2010, N.Technology chose the Porsche Panamera S as a result of their research and analysis of the present and future motorsport scenario on a commercial, technical sporting and regulations point of view as posted in their site.

Here are the technical specs of the Panamera S racecar Chassis: Steel frame with aluminum components Engine: V8, front Capacity: 4.8 litres, 4 valves per cylinders Power: 450hp Intake: Single throttle Traction: Rear wheel drive Friction: Carbon double discs diameter 184 mm Gearbox/transmission: 6 gear sequential, self locking ramps and plates differential Brakes: Front 355×35 disc, with 6 pots caliper, Rear 330×32 disc, with 4 pots caliper Steering: Pinion and rack Suspensions: Front double wishbone with 3 ways adjustable dampers, rear four rods multilink with 3 ways adjustable dampers Wheels: Magnesium wheels 10,5×18 Tires: Michelin 27/68-18 Aerodynamics: Front splitter, front and rear widened fenders, Rear wing (single supplier of the same element for all cars) Weight: 1,320kg

Heck I'm keeping an eye out for a "decent" GS 400 just because of those cars.
