It could be straight from hell.
After the Panamera Turbo, Porsche’s most powerful sedan, had already received a full performance and aerodynamics makeover from EDO Competition, the logical next step was to take on the 400 horsepower Panamera S.
The output of the Panamera S direct-injected V8 engine was increased from 400 hp to 465 hp. This enables the EDO Competition Hellboy Panamera to accelerate from zero to 62 mph in 4.6 seconds and reach a top speed of over 190 mph.
The power increase to 465 hp and a torque output of 550 Nm do their part to liven things up. Thanks to the new, pressure-monitoring and self-adjusting exhaust system with butterfly valves, it’s perfectly possible to keep things quiet and comfortable. Edo Competition’s newly developed header-back stainless-steel exhaust system features high-performance catalytic converters, high-flow mufflers and new tail pipes. As a welcome side-effect, the new system is about 77 kb lighter than the factory setup.
EDO’s newly developed carbon fiber front skirt with integrated daytime running lights also features enlarged air intakes for improved cooling. The new carbon fiber front lip increases downforce and the elegant side skirts add to the car’s side profile. A new carbon fiber rear skirt along with the diffuser and fins, new side mirrors and fender vents enhance the vehicle’s aerodynamics and looks. An old classic instead of a large wing: a ducktail spoiler, reminiscent of the legendary Carrera RS, completes the picture.
“Less is more” was the guiding principle, especially since improved performance and a higher top speed were the focus of this build. The aerodynamic pieces were designed to be compatible with all Panamera versions, be it the V6, V8 or Turbo.
To improve the car’s handling and traction, EDO employed ultra-lightweight forged 21 in. wheels. The front wheels measure 9.5 x 21 and use 265/35 ZR 21 tires, the rears are 11 x 21 with 305/30 ZR 21 tires. An electronic lowering module that can bring the body up to 30 mm closer to the ground can be fitted on request.
Hellboy’s visual impact would be lacking without a suitably exquisite interior, which is why EDO Competition has upgraded the cabin in a number of ways. New steering wheels, center and shifter consoles, pedals, seats or custom upholstery work, the possibilities are endless.
