German tuner Techart has unveiled its latest creation, a highly limited, motorsports-inspired take on the Porsche 911 Turbo S. Limited to just 19 examples, the GTstreet R Flyweight removes about 60 kg from the car, and adds a wide variety of new aero elements and a bunch of power. To begin with, Techart gives the 911 Turbo S its Powerkit TA092/T2.1 upgrade package, which adds optimized turbochargers, sports air filters, overrun air valves, and tuning software. All in, that amounts to a total of 788 hp and 950 Nm of torque.
The tuner says that’s good to get the car
off the line and up to 100 km/h in just 2.5 seconds, and on to a top
speed of over 350 km/h. To keep that all under control, it also adds
Öhlins coilover suspension and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires. For higher
speeds, meanwhile, the GTstreet R Flyweight is helped out by its thoroughly
redesigned aero package. That includes a fixed carbon fiber front splitter,
side air fins, and a carbon fiber under body panel, all of which help to
significantly increase downforce, Techart claims.
A carbon fiber front fender with wheel
arch extensions has more prominent (and efficient) air outlets, while the rear
wing has a weight-optimized carbon fiber base. The angle of the upper wing can
be adjusted to help balance downforce and drag requirements. The front lid and
rear intake cover, meanwhile, have been replaced by carbon fiber parts, and
their hood locks replaced with quick-release latches to help save every ounce.
A lightweight polycarbonate rear window also helps the car shed pounds. The
weight savings continue inside, where the front seats are replaced by Recaro
Podium CF performance seats, whose carbon fiber shells weigh just 4.9
kg. Custom pads, meanwhile, are 3D printed to add as little material as
possible, while being strategically placed to keep drivers comfortable.
The rear seats, on the other hand, are
simply thrown out and lightweight carpeting is utilized inside to help reduce
the amount of insulation necessary. In all, these modifications, in addition to
the exterior changes, help reduce the weight of the car by around 60
kg, as compared to a similarly specced 911 Turbo S. Set to make its public
debut on March 21 at the Bangkok International Motor Show, customers will have
to act fast because order books have already opened for the GTstreet R
Flyweight, of which, as mentioned above, only 19 will ever be made.
