Techart has revealed their initial customization program for the 2013 Porsche Boxster, before the world premiere which is scheduled in December at the 2012 Essen Motor Show.

They also have the Formula III forged wheels that adopt a dynamic double spoke design. Thanks to the forged alloy configuration, these wheels are up to 40 percent lighter than stock wheels. The twin tailpipes of the Boxster are manufactured from stainless steel and can be equipped with a custom muffler. Another way to go is to install the complete sport exhaust system with valve control. Another package available is the sport spring kit which brings the car closer to the ground by 30mm at the front and 20mm at the back. Upon customer request, the interior cabin of the Porsche Boxster can be fitted with a carbon fiber package, decorative stitching and a vast selection of leather options. We should also mention the three-spoke steering wheels and the custom paddle shifters.

WHITE STORM EDITION by ANDERSON Germany
Before the premiere 2009 in Shanghai the Porsche Panamera, which is not only in-house called as the Porsche 970, was considered as a gamble. Against all the customs in Zuffenhausen he had front-engine and four doors. However the sales achievements have quickly taken the wind out of the sails of the critics of a fourth Porsche model series against all their prophecies of doom. Meanwhile, the talk is of a total of seven model series in the future.
In the meantime, it should have been sufficiently gotten around, that ANDERSON Germany makes the impossible possible concerning cars and especially in the high-end segment.
Thus, even this Panamera GTS can be rightly defined as absolutely unique.
The increased performance from 430 up to 508 HP is achieved by the software enhancement and a three stage adjustable exhaust system via remote control.
The last one adds 17 extra HP to your account.
According to all rules of art, the installed body kit by ANDERSON Germany includes a striking front skirt, a set of side skirts, which continues the wheel arch interrupted design to the rear as well as a not less exclusive rear skirt.
The clearly visible outlines of the head lights in the front create a special kind of evil eyes, while the rear lights and the glass panes all around are tinted. In addition to the white satin complete painting there is also an as special as select sports bonnet with its decent side air inlets.
Now let's come to the very ambitious and seemed made for the Panamera wheel-tire combination:
Shiny black rims measuring 10 x 22 inch with 265/30-22 tires on the front axle and 11 x 20 inch with 295/25-22's at the rear. Certainly this rim as well, like almost everything at ANDERSON Germany can't do without an exclusive special feature: The front white of the four circles shines at night, when the light falls on it! Furthermore, the Porsche 970 is still button height adjustable in its three original levels, though the whole thing happens now all in all 30mm lower. In spite of the lowering, the white under car illumination with four LED lamps in the side skirts is absolutely fascinating.
Even the interior comes up with the customary ANDERSON Germany exclusivity. An ergonomic sports steering wheel in a predominating brown fits perfectly to the whole interior finishing in a combination of leather and Alcantara with white diamond stitching. An interior package in white carbon, which is installed in the trims, the steering wheel and the middle consoles in the front and the back, sets additional accents. The entry sills with their brown logo also consist of identical material. The final touch of the special is a white footwell lighting in the front and the back with a dimming function. The sound of the exclusive interior is ensured by a high-end sound system with amplifier, subwoofer and various speakers.
The acting premium tuner ANDERSON Germany from Dusseldorf has taken up the cause of making luxury cars unique. Of course, stars and celebrities from all over the world make use of this with pleasure again and again.
All over the world is to be taken literally: Wherever the vehicle is, it can be picked up there and after the work is done it can be delivered back again. And even if there is no vehicle yet at all, ANDERSON Germany can with pleasure manage the procurement of an object of desire.

Gemballa GT Aero 2 for Porsche 958 Cayenne


German tuning company Gemballa has announced a styling update to their GT Aero body package for the Porsche Cayenne 958. As an extension of the GT Aero 1 kit introduced at the beginning of 2012, the Aero 2 kit pursues a more elegant appearance. Thanks to its modular design, the Aero 2 kit adds new wheel arch extensions and side sills for an understated stance. The Aero GT 2 kit can be purchased as a complete kit or existing customers with the Aero GT 1 kit can upgrade. All body components are made of carbon-fiber and designed to fit the original factory mounting points.

Press release:

The Next Stage of Evolution
GEMBALLA GT AERO 2 styling package for the Porsche Cayenne 958
Nature's way is to perfect its creations step-by-step. GEMBALLA has developed its GT AERO packages for the Porsche Cayenne 958 using a similar evolutionary process.
The GT AERO 2 package is an extension of the GT AERO 1 kit introduced at the beginning of 2012, and further increases the presence of this premier SUV, while taking its aerodynamics to the next level.
The second generation Porsche Cayenne is a more elegant design than its predecessor, and appears more compact despite its greater overall dimensions. GEMBALLA uses a modular system to enhance the Cayenne's individuality, while enabling owners to add to the entry-level GT AERO 1 package at any time.
The new GT AERO 2 kit includes all the components of its ‘little brother' to which are added wheel arch extensions and connecting side sills that emphasise the Cayenne's width, giving it an even more purposeful appearance.
As with other GEMBALLA styling conversions, all the GT AERO 2 components are made in Germany from the highest quality carbon-fibre. GEMBALLA aero components are designed to fit the original factory mounting points so no cutting or drilling is necessary.
GEMBALLA ensures the precision fit of all its components, with tolerances controlled by state-of-the-art digital measuring equipment. "Our design process ensures that the highest fitting accuracy is achieved. This also makes repairs, or removal for subsequent sale in the case of a leased vehicle, straightforward and cost effective," explained GEMBALLA CEO, Andreas Schwarz.
The modular system also allows various combinations and permutations by owners. For instance, someone who already has the GT AERO 1 Kit fitted, can install the GT AERO 2 wheel arches as the next step.
A distinctive set of alloy wheels always transforms a car, and GEMBALLA's 22-inch wheels make a huge difference to the look of any Cayenne. These immensely strong 22-inch forged wheels keep unsprung weight down to around the same level as the factory 20-inch wheels. For those on a tighter budget, a cast version of this wheel design is also available.
GEMBALLA builds cars that look sporty, and feel light and responsive to drive, This lean and mean philosophy is entirely in line with the principles of evolution.
