The TechArt “GTsport 1 of 30” edition is based on
the outgoing 991.2 Turbo S, but packs a host of performance and cosmetic
upgrades to take it even further. Where the Turbo S in stock form packs 580
hp and 750 Nm of torque, TechArt’s Techtronic
power kit ups those figures to 640 hp and 880 Nm. The
result is a 0-100 km/h time of 2.7 seconds (down from 2.9 seconds stock) and a top
speed quoted at 338 km/h, up from the standard 330.
TechArt also fitted its variable sport exhaust for
better sound, capped by titanium finishers with carbon-fiber sleeves. The
suspension’s also dropped by 30 mm, the wheels replaced with
TechArt’s own 20-inch Formula IV Race two-tone forged alloys, and the tires
with Michelin Pilot Super Sport rubber.
There’s a full aero kit rendered in
carbon fiber and including an air scoop on the rear deck. And it includes a
new, smaller-diameter steering wheel. But as the name suggests, the tuner will
only make 30 of these kits, each carrying a retail price of € 29,991, including
19% VAT. That works out to roughly US$ 35,000 at current exchange rates, and
doesn’t include the US$ 190,700 purchase price of the donor car. Now we can hardly
wait to see what TechArt does with the new model once it’s out.
