durchgängige Performance

English translation: Top performance all the way

Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks
German term or phrase: durchgängige Performance
It's the heading of a section of a promotional brochure (for a manufacturer of automobile parts). The sub-heading is "Wir decken mit unseren Kompetenzen alle Fähigkeiten von der Idee bis zur Serie ab."

I haven't come up with a good adjective that collocates with "performance" - so far I've only thought of something like "from start to finish" for the whole phrase - but maybe some of you inspired people have better ideas.
