Porsche 911 Carrera and 911 Turbo by
Techart
The Porsche 911 is a razor-edged
performance tool to begin with, but every now and then it needs to be sharpen
for more extra oomph. That’s where Techart comes in.
Founded in 1987, the German tuner has 29
years of experience when it comes to modifying Stuttgart’s best, and its recipe
seems to work.
Starting with new aerodynamic body-kits
for the 991, Techart tries to offer a classy treatment of the vehicle’s characteristic
shape (or so it says), offering carbon-fiber and polyurethane RIM parts. A
two-piece front spoiler, featuring an integrated splitter, can be added without
tempering with the stock active front lip of the 911 Turbo, for example.
Techart’s added visual goodies work in tandem with the tuner’s fixed rear wing,
being operated by specific parameters for well-balanced aerodynamics.
The lesser Carrera can benefit from
these kind of modifications as well, including rear wings, newly shaped rear
air outlets, side skirts, roof spoiler and rear diffuser.
Under the hood, Techart’s powerkit
bumped the output of the Carrera S from 420 PS and 500 Nm
to 460 PS and 560 Nm. The power enhancement for the 911 is
more substantial, on the other hand, increasing the model’s power by an
additional 60 PS and 130 Nm, to a grand total of 640 PS and 880 Nm of torque.
Naturally, to let the boxer powerplants
growl and breathe, Techart offers revised exhaust systems, complete with
dynamic valve control.
