Thought a Porsche Panamera Couldn’t Race? Think Again

Sometimes when a tuner takes on the Porsche Panamera or Cayenne, they try to turn it into a face racing car, which looks strange because everybody knows those cars were not built for racing.
However, that conception has been turned on its head by this following car. It’s the Panamera race car owned by Petri Corse Motorsport. The monster is extensively modified using the latest racing technology, sporting wings that point out every which way, a full roll cage and a massively reworded engine bay.

Speaking of engines, it’s got a race-breed 4.8-liter V8 that is built according to the Superstars International Series regulations for which it needs to qualify.

This video shot by NM2255 at the Monza track in Italy. We think you’ll agree that watching this 5-meter-long car letting the tail out is a rare sight.

Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
