Geneva: Panamera Whacked With Ugly Stick

Swiss modifier FAB takes the big Porsche down a dark alley and beats the hell out of it

---

No shortage of 'coachbuilders' at Geneva who, in exchange for a briefcase stuffed with £50 notes, will give an already exclusive supercar that extra-special personal touch.

Full marks to Swiss-based FAB, though, for working a truly astonishing number on the Panamera - a car some felt couldn't get any uglier - and charging 500,000 euros for it. The shiny gold ostrich hide trim gives the driver a lovely, healthy glow.

Fell from the ugly tree hitting every branch on the way down only to land face first in the quagmire of bad tase get stuck and had it's wallet nicked by the "pay through the arse for that" pixies.

some decent pics would be nice as the story is all about the car's looks...

Its not an ugly car to start with and this has only made it look sportier.

I have to admit though that the pictures dont really do the car justice. You need to see one in the flesh to get a better idea of things. Probably not to many over in the UK I would have thought.

I seen a standard car, in black with nice Subtle wheels and tbh, I thought it looked a thousand times better than it does in pics. I think this might be the same.

Personally, I think this one doesnt look too bad in places. It would look alot better with big black wheels and a standard black interior, the two parts which ruin it for me.

Looks like him

I think it looks nice on the outside - a bit too much on the interior, however....

Yes. I'm working with him here at Geneva. Nice fellow.

As Clarkson said 'Porsche design..........the least a man can get!'

It doesn't need a coach builder to make this car ugly when you are starting with such a vile thing in the first place!!

He's like the uncle you always wanted to visit because he might take you out in his Marcos and go really fast as mum and Auntie chatted....

This creation looks horrendous. Wheels are way too bling, and that bodykit is just no no. There are much nicer eaxamples out there.

Is it the eighties again?

Easyjet go to Geneva and if I remember it right it's not too far from the airport, so you hop on a plane for the day out. It's a lot of walking though.

We did it a few years ago - almost a cheap as getting to the train to the NEC
