Russian tuner TopCar Design is known for its close relationship with carbon fiber and sportscars/supercars. Their latest creation, the Porsche 992 Stinger GTR Limited Carbon Edition, is based on a 911 Turbo S, will be offered in just 13 examples, and takes things to a new level. Usually, when we talk about aftermarket carbon fiber bodykits we refer to bumpers, bonnets, side sills, rear wings, and various aero components. In this case, though, TopCar designed and manufactured a complete set of 84 parts for the Porsche 992, made of four layers of carbon fiber – one external, one internal, and two structural layers. In order to understand the extent of the modifications, you have to look at the graphic showing every body panel that has been converted to carbon fiber.
From a distance, this might appear to be a slightly modified 911 Turbo S but if you look closer you will notice that 100 percent of the car’s exterior surfaces are covered in carbon fiber with beautifully arranged weaves and contrasting yellow accents. Since they build a new body for the 911, TopCar has slightly altered the design of the new panels and the aero components making the car look even sportier. They are also offering their own forged RS Edition wheels with a diameter of 20-inches at the front and 21-inches at the rear, plus an Akrapovic titanium exhaust with black tips.
There are no mechanical changes which means that the twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six produces 641 hp and 800 Nm of torque. Power is transmitted to all four wheels through an 8-speed PDK allowing for a 0-100 km/h acceleration in 2.7 seconds and a top speed of 330 km/h. The carbon fiber conversion alone is going to cost you an eye-watering € 100,000 (US$ 117,365). In order to get the complete package you will also have to buy the optional forged RS Edition wheels for an additional € 8,000 (US$ 9,387), and the titanium exhaust by Akrapovic for € 5,000 (US$ 5,869). Last but not least, if you want colored carbon fiber, you will need to pay an extra € 25,000 (US$ 29,345).
Add it all together and you get a € 138,000 bill (US$ 161,982) added to the cost of a brand new Porsche 911 Turbo S which starts from US$ 203,500 in the US market. Let’s hope that the 13 owners of the 992 Stinger GTR Limited Carbon Edition won’t scratch or dent their precious bodies.
