Porsche Panamera Tuneathon Continues with Anderson Germany

Another day, another tuning proposal for Porsche's Panamera sports saloon which is proving to be particularly popular with the aftermarket industry. This one comes from Anderson Germany which has just finished tidying up the details on its latest project based on the non-turbo Panamera 4S.

Starting with the engine programme, a software update and a sport exhaust system that comes with a remote-controlled butterfly valve allowing the driver to control the tone, help increase the 4.8-liter naturally aspirate V8's output from 400HP to 485HP. Other go-fast features including a height-adjustable sports suspension and new 22-inch alloy wheels finished in black with red accents that are wrapped around tires sized 265/40 and 295/25 in the front and rear, respectively.

The car is then finished in a satin black shade and is fitted with a new body kit, while the mirrors, grille, door handles, logos, bar, tailgate and window frames are painted in a glossy black color. Anderson Germany also tinted the headlamps and tail light covers.

There's a variety of customization options available for the interior ranging from the carbon-style leather and black Alcantara seats with red diamond-shaped seams, to carbon fiber trims and accent LEDs for the door sills.

Anderson Germany Rolls Out Tuned Audi Q7 V12 Diesel with 550HP

Tuning specialist Anderson Germany has got its hands on the most insane version of Audi's Q7 SUV, the flagship V12 TDI model. In stock form, the 12-cylinder oil-burner generates an output of 500 horsepower and a ludicrous 1,000 Nm (757.56 lb-ft) of torque from six liters of displacement, enough to get the all-wheel drive model to 100km/h (62mph) in 5.5 seconds. A new air filter and software optimizations from Anderson Germany help increase output by 10 per cent to 550-horsepower.

The tuning firm also fitted the Q7 V12 TDI with new brakes featuring eye-popping red-calipers and a lowering module for the suspension.

Next up on Anderson Germany's list is the exterior enhancements, which come in the form of a carbon fiber package for the front grille surround, mirror caps, rear diffuser and roof rails, while all logos, the air-vents, the twin tail pipes and the grille are finished in a shiny black color. The smoked lights at the back and a new set of 22-inch alloy wheels with black spokes shod in 295/30 22 tires all around, are also part of the package.

For the interior, the tuning company proposes white carbon-applications on the dashboard, steering wheel and doors, while the seating surfaces and door panels are upholstered in leather and quilted black Alcantara with contrasting white seems. Optionally, Anderson Germany also offers a matching child seat. The new LED lights round off the interior upgrades.

The German tuner has not given pricing yet on the new Q7 V12 TDI package.

Anderson Germany's Lamborghini Gallardo White Edition with 600HP

Anderson Germany�s latest creation, the Lamborghini Gallardo White Edition, is, well, white. What we're trying to say is that the discrete exterior modifications implemented by the D�sseldorf-based tuner got lost in all that snowy paintjob. Otherwise, the 20-inch alloys with shiny black spokes do stand out and 600 ponies sound nice - just as long as you know how to control your hands and feet once you get behind the steering wheel.

According to the tuning firm, the exterior upgrades include tinted windows and tail-lights, carbon trim and a wide bodykit. The latter is comprised of a new front apron, lowered side skirts, diffuser and rear spoiler. There are also LED lights on the sides of the Gallardo and red brake calipers, which may have looked better in white.

The cabin is generously clad in -you guessed it- white carbon trim, while the seats boast a two-tone finish, achieved by combining black Alcantara with white leather.

The engine has been fitted with sport air filter and exhaust system and, after some software optimization, it�s capable of delivering 600 hp, or 40 more ponies than the stock 5.2-liter V10. A sport suspension completes the tuning package.

The Lamborghini Gallardo White Edition is available for purchase, but Anderson didn�t release any information on pricing.

Anderson Germany's Bentley GT Speed Elegance Edition

Leaving no stone unturned, Anderson Germany has presented a new tuning take on the Bentley Continental GT Speed. Called the Elegance Edition, the package enhances the British grand tourer with number of performance and styling goodies.

Exterior dress-up pieces include a carbon fiber bonnet with additional air intakes and a new boot lid made from the same lightweight material. Carbon fiber can also be found on the new front and rear bumpers, with the LED daytime running lights, side skirts and new chrome grilles up front completing the body kit which is limited to 150 pieces worldwide.

In the interior, the cabin has been decked out in carbon fiber trim while the seats are now finished in black leather with contrasting white stitching.

The Continental GT Speed leaves Bentley's factory in Crewe with a 610HP W12. Thanks to a series of modifications including software optimization, a new air filter and a sport exhaust system with additional Rennkats, output is lifted to 695-horsepower. A remote-controlled valve adjusting the exhaust that allows the driver to choose from three different noise levels is also part of the package.

Anderson Germany unleashes the Audi R8 V10 Racing Edition with 585 HP

Anderson Germany is just one in a long line of tuners who think they can make the Audi R8 better. Called the Racing Edition, the D�sseldorf-based tuner's R8 V10 has gone through a number of external and internal modifications, including an engine upgrade that increases peak power to 585 hp (436 kW).

The appearance can make or break a tuned car's fortune, so the Germans offer a complete visual kit, meant to make the body look better and also more aerodynamic. The material of choice here is carbon fiber. The lightweight material is found on the aggressive front apron, the discrete rear spoiler, rear diffuser, rear window bordering and the exterior mirrors.

Even the 19-inch wheels, which are wrapped around in 235/35 and 295/30 tires, receive a carbon finish with orange accents.

What about the interior? You guessed it: carbon fiber all the way, combined with leather and orange stitching. The packet includes carbon door trims, radio frame, ashtray, gear stick frame, hand brake knob and steering wheel.

To gain those 60 extra ponies, engineers used a new, valve commanded exhaust system, which is also 17 kg (37 lbs) lighter, better air filters and modified engine management software.

Anderson Germany didn't release performance figures, but they claim top speed has increased by 12 km/h or 7.5 mph. Also, pricing and availability are not known yet.
