Gemballa is still developing the Mistrale Panamera based on Porsche's four-door sedan. Showcased here instead is a set of wheels fitted in the Panamera. The tuner's website states that they come in two styles; a 22-inch GT Sport wheel with tyre sizes 265/30/22 at the front and 315/25/22 on the rear, as well as the 22inch GT Sport - Rs with some riveting on the outside edge available in 22 and 20-inch.

TechArt might have stolen the march on other tuners by being the first to present their Panamera tuning programme at the recent 2009 IAA, but Gemballa is not waiting around for others to do thesame. Hopefully, at the coming Essen Motor Show we will know exactly what its engineers are cooking.

Wow gemballa, you've really done it this time. Only a wheel package and some body kit for around $200000, like the carrera GT. If anyone would be so interested in performance i'd get a custom fabricator and...have them build it up?

Can't say that Gemballa stuff has ever done much for me. The TechArt stuff looks way better. As far as how "ugly" this car looks, I have said it before, I will reserve my judgement until I see it in person. Well I have, I have driven it. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and this car will not do it for everyone, just like some dont like 911's. But it is stunning in person, I love it. And...the drive? Oh my God! There is NOTHING out there that will touch it! Not only in performance, that is hands down way better than anyone else. The interior is amazing! And thank God for no stupid iDrive, or MMI, or big cumbersome rotary button that you have to access a million menues before you can achieve what you can with the simple push of a button! I can't wait till the car magazines start doing shootouts against other brands out there! Go ahead, look at my "ugly" butt! Perhaps it will help the naysayers appreciate it, they will see plenty of it if they wanna go against a Panamera!
