XYZ Racing Tarmac Rally Coilovers — Porsche PANAMERA (971) (Cancellation Kit for Electronic Damping) 2016-2026

The 971 Panamera’s factory PASM adaptive damping is tuned for autobahn cruising and B-road grip, not the surface lottery of a closed tarmac stage. XYZ Racing’s Tarmac Rally coilover for the Porsche Panamera (971) replaces that electronic system outright, and this fitment includes the cancellation kit needed to disable the factory PASM wiring so the car runs on manually set mechanical damping without throwing fault codes on the dash.

Built from XYZ’s own stage experience, the setup is calibrated to absorb compressions from cambered corners, mid-stage ruts and sudden crests without kicking a car of this size off line. It suits 971 owners entering closed tarmac rally events or running fast, rough-surface trackdays where wheel control under repeated hits matters more than a cushioned ride.

What this coilover does for your 2016-2026 Porsche Panamera (971)

Fit this coilover to a 2016-2026 Porsche Panamera (971) and the biggest change is how the axles absorb sudden surface breaks – pot holes, washouts, stage lips – without punching a harsh spike through to the cabin or knocking the nose off line. Suppressing that shock at the wheel keeps the tyre’s contact patch loaded more consistently, which is where the traction gain actually comes from on a loose or damp stage rather than from the tyre compound alone. Because the Panamera puts real weight over the front axle under trail-braking into hairpins, calmer damper response through compression and rebound keeps the chassis settled instead of pitching, so you can commit to the next apex with the car still composed. The cancellation kit means none of this fights the factory PASM electronics – the coilover is the only damping system working, with no default electronic intervention overriding your settings.

About the Tarmac Rally coilover

XYZ’s Tarmac Rally coilover is built for sealed-stage tarmac rally use, where the surface changes from smooth asphalt to broken, cambered and rutted sections within a single stage. The valving is set to soak up the impact of rough or uneven ground and larger hits without the body kicking back at the driver, which keeps the car settled rather than skipping across broken tarmac. That control is aimed directly at tyre traction – a wheel that stays in contact with the road puts power and braking down more effectively than one that’s being bounced off it. XYZ arrived at this tune through its own tarmac rally programme, carrying settings developed on stage rather than adapted from a road or circuit product. The result is a coilover built to keep a car stable and predictable through the kind of surface transitions a closed stage throws at it, not just a firmer version of a road set-up.

Fitment for the Porsche Panamera (971) (2016-2026)

This kit is built for the Porsche Panamera 971, covering the 2016 to 2026 model years. It’s specified for cars fitted with Porsche’s electronic PASM damping from the factory, and includes the cancellation kit required to disable that system cleanly so the mechanical coilover controls damping without conflict. Confirm your Panamera carries factory adaptive damping before ordering this variant rather than the standard kit.
