Porsche 911 Turbo GTstreet R by TechArt
TechArt has revealed the GTstreet R, their new
range-topping model based on the Porsche 991 Turbo and Turbo S, in full. The bodywork features
extensive revisions over the standard Porsche 911 Turbo and even includes a new
active aero agenda that provides 321 kg of real downforce at 300 km/h.
The carbon fiber front apron comes with an active
front spoiler that optimizes the airflow towards the water- and oil-coolers
while a central air outlet helps in reducing the aerodynamic lift. The
laterally positioned flaps on the front bumper increase downforce and reduce at
the same time the drag coefficient. The carbon wing on the rear is also active,
rising automatically with its angle adjusted by up to 15 degrees when the
Performance mode is engaged.
TechArt will offer the GTstreetR with a range of
power upgrades over the standard 911 Turbo models, starting from the 600 hp
powerkit. Next in line is the 640 hp package which allows the new GTstreetR to
accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 2.7 seconds, with 0-200 km/h coming in 9.2 seconds. TechArt will also offer a 720 hp powerkit for those
wanting even more speed, starting from early 2017.
The chassis can be fitted with either a set of 20in
or 21in alloy wheels, while customers will be able to choose a VarioPlus
coilover suspension with PDDC connectivity and a Noselift front axle lift
system, which provides 60mm of additional ground clearance. The new sport
exhaust system comes with a continuously variable pneumatic valve control,
optimizing this way the back pressure depending on different load conditions.
The cabin can be specified in two different
variants, the Exclusive and the Clubsport. The first one comes with the finest
leather upholstery while the Clubsport features Alcantara highlights, a
color-matched roll bar, six-point harnesses and door-opening straps. In both
versions the dashboard, center console, roof liner, sun visors and door pillars
are covered in leather or Alcantara while carbon fiber trim is offered as an
option.
TechArt's new GTstreetR combines the staggering aero
performance of the GT3 RS with the incredible pace of a tuned 911 Turbo,
offering a quite attractive package to impatient clients that just can't wait
for Porsche to bring out the new GT2 RS.
