Geneva 2011: New Porsche Cayenne is transformed into the LUMMA CLR 558 GT

•Two-tone interior made up of beige and black leather
•Comprehensive bodykit influences the car's sporty look
•Performance boost increases the power of the diesel engine to 276 hp
•22-inch alloy wheels

An exclusive interior incorporating the finest leather, a forward-looking bodykit and greater power are what characterise the LUMMA CLR 558 GT.

The interior showcases the high standards of LUMMA Design. Nowhere is this better exemplified than in the two-tone leather upholstery. The appearance of the stylish animal skins in both beige and black is further enhanced by the decorative seams in the contrasting colour. The diamond-shaped stitching in particular really shows off the lavish way in which leather is used in the car's interior. Then there's the fine Alcantara which covers all the interior's plastic coverings. The ergonomically shaped sports steering wheel (which includes an airbag) and the carbon-look interior ledges are also upholstered with leather. The colour-coordinated instruments and aluminium pedals with anti-slip rubber coating add further refinement to the car's interior.

But it's not just the car's interior where LUMMA Design makes an impression; the exterior too proves that the CLR 558 GT is a truly exclusive vehicle. The complete bodykit consists of the front spoiler, rear bumper, side skirts, sporty looking bonnet and rear spoiler. The sporty appearance of the fully revamped Cayenne is enhanced still further by its real carbon elements, with the car's rear lip, rear diffuser and front spoiler bottom all made from the ultra-light yet sturdy material.

The car's sports exhaust is unique. Not only does it make a thunderous sound; its three tailpipes also create a thoroughly distinct look, with the middle tailpipe of a diameter of 100 millimetres flanked by the two 80 millimetre ones.

The vehicle's engine power delivers what the car's appearance and sound promise. Thanks to the LUMMA D-Box, the power output of the 6-cylinder diesel engine is increased from 240 hp (176 kW) to 276 hp (203 kW) while its maximum torque now reaches 630 Newton metres compared with the previous version's 550 Nm. To ensure that the electronic accelerator pedal works more immediately, the tuning company has fitted its own LUMMA accelerator pedal power module.

The car's electronic suspension lowering module ensures particularly agile cornering ability. LUMMA Design uses this at the standard air suspension system on both axles to lower the Cayenne by around 40 millimetres, thereby achieving significantly sportier handling on winding country roads. This allows the high-performance tyres (in sizes 295/30 at the front and 335/25 at the rear) to work especially well on the 10x22 inch and 12x22 inch LUMMA sports rims.

With its latest offering, LUMMA Design has managed to transform the standard Porsche into a unique sports car. The utterly distinctive looking bodykit and the exclusive interior are the highlights in the vehicle's upgrading to a LUMMA CLR 558 GT. The individual components can be ordered from selected specialised stockists or directly from LUMMA Design's headquarters in Winterlingen, Germany.
