Porsche Cayenne Vantage 2 Lemon

The Top Car tuning brand has made ​​some elaborations of the finest luxury vehicles Porsche, but their latest version of their much vaunted Cayenne Vantage 2 seems to have taken the direction of the lemon. Commissioned by one of its customers, Top Car was asked to design a Cayenne Vantage 2 looking very colorful. The Russian tuning company has agreed to the request and has produced the Lemon Cayenne Vantage 2.

As the name implies, the Porsche SUV was wearing a special color created ad hoc, Citreous Lemon, which was accentuated by a special paint Lime Pearl on various parts of the exterior. Similarly, the interior of the Cayenne are fitted with perforated black leather seats in the center and lime green on the sides.

The project also includes a new body kit consisting of front bumper, wheel arch extensions, side skirts, bonnet, sills, tailgate spoiler, rear diffuser and a new set of 5 spoke alloy wheels, all rather similar to the design Cayenne Top Car Vantage 2.

Moreover, the Cayenne Vantage 2 Lemon gets the same performance changes made ​​on the standard model, which includes a new engine management software system, new air filters and a new sports exhaust system. Thanks to the changes, the SUV is able to produce a power of 780 hp, a significant increase of the model standard 500 hp.
