The facelift of Porsche's original Panamera platform — internal code 970.2, launched for the 2014 model year and produced 2013 through 2016 before the completely-new 971 second generation arrived — tightened the front fascia, re-profiled the LED headlamp signature, introduced a revised Turbo S Executive long-wheelbase variant, and brought the Panamera S E-Hybrid plug-in version as a regular-production model. Mechanically the 970.2 retained the architecture that defined the Panamera since 2009: front-mounted V6 or V8, seven-speed PDK, rear- or all-wheel drive, four adult seats, 300-520 hp depending on variant, with the Turbo S topping out at 570 hp. Mansory's programme for the 970.2 is a full carbon widebody — the most structurally extensive of Mansory's Porsche Panamera catalogue — designed to give the 970 a visual stance competitive with the Aventador and Urus-level widebody platforms that had become reference points in the UHNW tuning market by the mid-2010s.
Mansory worked the Panamera 970 platform from the original 2009-2013 pre-facelift car through the 970.2 facelift, treating it as a stable carbon-development platform because the core proportions (5 015 mm length, 1 931 mm width, 2 920 mm wheelbase on standard; +150 mm on Executive) scaled well to widebody extension without losing coherence. The Panamera's front-engine / rear-biased proportions accept a widebody in a way the mid-engine cars cannot — flared arches read as power statements rather than aerodynamic solutions. Mansory's 970.2 brief therefore leaned into the widebody axis: bonded front and rear carbon fender extensions widening the track by approximately 25-30 mm per side; full-replacement carbon front bumper with enlarged lower-grille apertures and integrated carbon splitter; carbon rear bumper with race-derived diffuser and four 100-mm exhaust exits; deep carbon side-skirts; functionally-vented carbon bonnet; carbon mirror housings; rear trunk-lid spoiler; and available carbon roof-panel overlay. Interior retrim covers the full cabin in saddle-grade leather with diamond-quilted seatback panels, Alcantara headliner, and carbon inlays replacing the factory wood trim.

Does the kit fit the Panamera S E-Hybrid plug-in variant? Yes — the E-Hybrid's front-end geometry matches the standard 970.2 Panamera, and the kit preserves charging-port access.
Will the Turbo S Executive long-wheelbase donor fit? Yes — Executive donors require the extended-wheelbase side-skirt variant (+150 mm) which is a separate carbon SKU.
Is the factory PASM / air suspension retained? Yes — all suspension hardware and calibration remain factory. Ride-height drop modules available as separate option for static show-stance preference.
What about the pre-facelift 970.1 car? The 970.1 requires a different front bumper and fender geometry (separate programme order) but rear components and skirts are shared.
Are the fenders bonded or bolted? Bonded with structural polyurethane adhesive plus mechanical fasteners behind arch liners. Factory-panel removal is not required; original panels are retained internally for future reversibility.
Can the 570-hp Turbo S engine be further tuned? Yes — Mansory offers ECU remap to ~630-700 hp depending on fuel grade as a separate commission item beyond this visual programme.
What is the typical order-to-road time? Roughly 4 months (10-14 weeks production + 2-3 weeks install) for kit + wheels; add 3 weeks if interior retrim ordered.
