Default Spicy Hot: Lumma Packs 470 Horses into Porsche Cayenne With CLR400 GT

WINTERLINGEN, Germany — Lumma Design has been doing its magic to German cars for a few decades, starting with convertible conversions of the Opel GT in the 1980s.

In the 1990s, it specialized in Mercedes-Benz and Audi. So transforming the Porsche Cayenne now was perhaps a foregone conclusion.

According to Lumma boss Horst Lumma, the standard Cayenne "looks too smart and neat." So his latest creation, the CLR400 GT, is out to change that. It is definitely not for the shy. The Lumma Cayenne has an ultra-aggressive stance that is helped by special 22-inch wheels; a new front end including double headlights, new bumper and three-part grille; a shocking rear with four exhaust pipes; and a tough black color scheme.

But the CLR400 GT isn't just a looker. The Cayenne S on which it is based is capable of 340 horsepower, but various modifications in the engine bay result in 470 hp from the 4.5-liter V8 engine.

The body conversion alone costs around $27,000, while the height-adjustable chassis and special wheels add another $13,000. More power? The customer is always right; that will be another $24,000.

What this means to you: Visit picturesque Germany for its beer, its Black Forest — and its hot tuner cars.

Sex on wheels man!

I would like to see my sisters Infiniti FX35 with the Power Enterprise Turbo kit for the 350Z it made 420hp at 8psi. Wonder what it would do with a built block and about oh lets 20 psi? Can we say 500+ HP at the wheels.

Regardless that porsche is hot as hell!

I remember there is also a supercharger kit from Stillen for the FX35. Some guy in the DC area did a turbo with an FX45.
