Techart introduces ‘manic’ GTstreet R

We know Porsche of making powerful cars, but some aftermarket tuners have found ways to make the German sports car even more powerful. Based on the Porsche 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S (991), TECHART, the German automobile tuner has built a sportscar that sets new standards, again.

With so much power introduced to the 911, engineers did a wonderful job by optimising road handling of the GTstreet R by increasing downforce, thanks to the active aerodynamics which provide a total downforce of 321 kg at 300 km/h in Performance Mode enabling the car to reach breathtaking lateral acceleration and driving stability at all speeds.

The carbon fiber GTstreet R front apron with its active front spoiler lip optimizes the airflow onto the water- and oil coolers with additional air intakes. A central air outlet helps to reduce the aerodynamic lift.

The integrated front lights are tastefully surrounded by carbon airframes. Laterally positioned flaps increase the downforce and reduce the drag coefficient at the same time. The lightweight carbon front lid, which bears a three dimensional TECHART logotype at its inside, underlines the vigorous appearance of the TECHART GTstreet R with its dynamic shape.

The carbon front fenders feature front wheel arch air outlets. Both, the heat generated by the brakes as well as the overpressure produced by the turning wheels are discharged through racy visible carbon slats. The carbon side skirts continue the GTstreet R design line and interlink the extended wheel arches at front and rear aesthetically. For maximum airflow to the intercoolers, the rear side sections of the GTstreet R feature powerful carbon air intakes.

On top of the engine lid, the active GTstreet R rear wing catches the eye with its contoured carbon wing profile, carbon side panels and two aerodynamic carbon fiber winglets. In Performance Mode, the GTstreet R wing is raised automatically and its angle is adjusted by up to 15 degrees. A large aerodynamically shaped carbon air intake unit ensures sufficient air supply for the engine at any time.

To provide the required grip, TECHART fits enlarged tire dimensions to the GTstreet R. The road contact is ensured by 265/35 ZR 20 tires at the front (also available: 265/30 ZR 21) and 325/30 ZR 20 tires at the rear (optional: 325/25 ZR 21).

Customers can choose among 20-inch or 21-inch wheels. The forged 20-inch TECHART Formula IV Race centre lock wheels are equipped with road legal UHP tires. The 21-inch TECHART Formula IV wheels feature a weight optimized rim construction and are equipped with road tires. Both wheels can be individually customized in colours and surface finish.

TECHART provides different options for the chassis such as the TECHART VarioPlus coil over suspension with PDDC connectivity or the TECHART Noselift front axle lift system. TECHART Noselift makes common obstacles like parking garages, ramps or speed humps a thing of the past as it instantly provides 60 mm of additional ground clearance at the front axle at the push of a button. Individualization of the brake callipers is quality-made with a temperature-resistant coating and ensures a perfect colour match.

TECHART boosts the performance of the engines of the 991/I and 991/II 911 Turbo and Turbo S models with a range of power kits, which generate a total power output of up to 471 kW and a maximum torque of 880 Nm. In addition, a second stage of power kits, unleashing a total of 530 kW will be available as of early 2017.

Besides its stunning sound and appearance, the new TECHART high performance sport exhaust system features another highlight. TECHART introduces a continuously variable pneumatic valve.
