Porsche special edition Maria Sharapova Panamera GTS

Porsche special edition Maria Sharapova Panamera GTSAs the Sochi Olympic Games kicked off Friday in Russia, tennis champion Maria Sharapova wasn’t simply there for the torch-lighting ceremony. She took delivery of a very special 2014 Porsche Panamera GTS to demonstrate how far Porsche goes to satisfy its high-end customers.  Given that sport competition is a central theme in her life, Maria Sharapova went with the most athletic of the 2014 Porsche Panamera range, the GTS, which she chose to have painted white.

Special edition Maria Sharapova Panamera GTS – touches include black gloss trim used for the headlight surrounds, wheels and window trim. Sharapova also chose to have the taillights tinted and black tail pipes added to the car’s sports exhaust system.

The instrument dials have also been painted to match the body and the headrests embossed with the Porsche crest. The final touch is a set of carbon door sills with Sharapova’s name emblazoned on them.

The Maria Sharapova’s Porsche Panamera GTS was introduced for the 2013 model year and comes with a naturally aspirated 4.8-liter V-8 good for 440 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque. It needs just 4.5 seconds to sprint to 60 mph and will hit a top speed of 178 mph.

Off the tennis court, Sharapova has dabbled in product design — “full collections of luxury accessories, apparel, and even candy,” according to Porsche — and adding this Panamera GTS is an unexpected addition to that list.

“I never thought I would have the opportunity to add a car — especially a Porsche — to that repertoire,” she said. “Creating and specifying a very personal Porsche Panamera was such an exciting undertaking. It opens the door to a whole new design sensibility and allowed me to bring my own personal aesthetic.”

When she was signed last year, Porsche CEO Matthias Muller said Sharapova was “the perfect choice” to represent Porsche since she “combines top performance in her sports with elegance and power.” Other automakers, especially Audi, pay similar celebrities to drive their cars and smile for the cameras at big events like the Sochi Olympics.

In April last year, Porsche struck a deal with Sharapova to make the 26-year-old Russian superstar athlete the automaker’s first-ever brand ambassador. She then helped introduce Porsche’s all-new small SUV, the 2015 Macan, at the Los Angeles Auto Show in November.

2014 Porsche Panamera Dressed in Crocodile Leather and Gold

TopCar 2014 Porsche Panamera Stingray GTRWith due respect to some of the best interior tuners in the industry, Russia’s TopCar can make its own claim as one of the best.

It’s got a long history, not to mention an inventory, of some pretty impressive programs and while it may be cause for it sit on its laurels, TopCar isn’t doing any of that. Instead, it built another version of its universally lauded Stingray GTR program for the 2014 Porsche Panamera .

We’ve seen this before, only this time, Porsche Tuning Company – TopCar is taking the interior treatment to a whole new level with a new dress-up for the cabin. Brace yourselves, this is one for the record books.

Traditional two-color treatments are normal for this kind of business. But a combination of purple leather and gold inserts? That’s definitely a new one, and something TopCar worked effortlessly into the cabin of the 2014 Porsche Panamera.

The purple theme of the interior is actually made from genuine crocodile leather with matching diamond stitching. That’s the kind of leather you don’t want to stand away from. And the purple is really subtle, not some eggplant-looking eyesore that will drive rats away. Very classy and very elegant, kind of like what you’d expect royalty would wear.

The luster is pretty sweet to look at, and might we add, fun to be around with when driving this Stingray GTR Panamera.

Speaking of which, the sports sedan also received a new body kit as part of TopCar’s renowned program, including new bumpers, a redesigned hood, updated wings and doors, and a new set of lightweight forged ADV.1 Wheels.

All that, and we still can’t get our eyes off of that interior.
