Referring to performance cars as fighter jets is nothing new, but the advances in the wrap industry now allow owners to take this bond one step further. Let's take the 2017 Porsche Panamera we have here, for instance.
The long-roof Porsche has been given a new identity thanks to a complex wrap job, one that uses the JAS-39 Gripen as a source of inspiration. And we have to admit that the low-key visual approach perfectly fits the Panny, adding to the understated aura any Zuffenahsuen machine is born with.

Notice that the wrap is as complex as they get, with the attention to detail climbing to the sky. This isn't an accident, since the design of the second skin job comes from digital artist Scott Kepple.

We've shown you the man's creations on multiple occasions, as the pixel wielder is responsible for some the coolest wraps out there.

Now, you might wonder why a Porsche owner would use the JAS-39 as a... muse. At least in this case, the reason behind the visual transformation is simple. We're talking about a Swedish Porscha, while Saab's jet fighter can be considered a symbol of the country.

We're talking about an affordable plane - the machine may not grab attention in the same way as a Eurofighter Typhoon or a Lockheed Martin F35 Joint Strike Fighter, but it certainly offers an excellent cost-to-firepower ratio.

Returning to the second incarnation of the Porsche Panamera, now that plenty of owners have taken delivery of their machines, we can explain the aftermarket side of the industry to touch more and more units of the lavish sedan.

For the time being, we'll have to settle for light custom touches, such as the wrap we have here or custom wheels, but we'll certainly get to see deeper projects starting from next year. Meanwhile, you can check out the transformation of the said Panamera in the clip below.
