Techart Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet

The Porsche 997 911 Turbo Cabriolet has a lot going for it in stock form. 480 Horsepower, all wheel drive, the great looks, and the Porsche heritage. Techart has been know for their line of wheels, body kits, and performance upgrades for years. They take the best and make it better.

Just in time for the Essen Motor Show(European equalivent of SEMA) arrives Techarts version of the new 911 Turbo. Techart really outdid themselves with this one. 630 Horsepower with 604 lb ft of torque. This makes for a top speed of 214mph! What makes all this power? Techart started with adding larger turbos to the 3.6 liter boxer engine, a new exhaust system and manifolds, a new intake system, and of course a reprogramed computer. The enhanced chassis also allows for the car to be lowered an additional 25mm from stock. While still taking advantage of the Porsche's sport mode. Techart also enhanced the brakes with new calipers, rotors, and brake lines.

Two different aerodynamic packages are planned also. Aero Package I consists of a front spoiler lip, side sill, rear diffuser and rear spoiler. Aero Package II adds a different front spoiler, side sill, rear apron and rear spoiler. Headlight shades, mirror shades, roof spoiler, air outlet grid in the front apron. Also part of the package are 20 inch Techart Formula wheels. With your choice of either Continental or Michelin tires.

Pricing for the package is not available yet, though it should be a considerable amount over the stock 911 Turbo Cab's $136,000 price tag. Still a very exciting package.
