TechArt GTstreet R Takes the 992 911 Turbo To Extremes
If your standard 911 Turbo wasn’t enough, TechArt can turn it into the GTstreet R, an exquisitely customized 800 HP rocket.
You already have opulent taste if you’re springing the cash for a new 911 Turbo. But what if you’re just not satisfied with the offerings from the Stuttgart factory? Well for starters, you take your ride to TechArt, give them an idea of what you want, wait a little while, and be amazed at the creation that emerges. In this case, the GTstreet R.
TechArt’s booth at SEMA contained this gem, which is the cabriolet of the GTstreet R. It’s a name that, according to TechArt’s website, has lineage that dates back nearly two decades. It’s essentially a culmination of all the TechArt ideas about Porsche grouped into one. Increased performance, increased potential, and certainly increased customization.
Whie the GTstreet range is touted as being a track focused car, the cabrio here seems to showcase more of the customization from TechArt. Gentian Blue Metallic paint draws in your eye with a strong metallic flake, but soon you’ll see this one has a totally new front bumper treatment, along with GT3 style snout vents on the hood. Fender vents are an extra, too, with a totally new rear end as well to compliment the work done on the leading edge.
But then the interior is where this car really stands out. Light blue and white leather throughout is the dominant driving force of design. A unique stitch pattern is carried from the seats and onto the grip area of the steering wheel as well, and white stitching contrasts with the blue leather. The leather adorns everything, even the drive mode selector.
But that’s part of what the GTstreet R is all about. Total customization. Oh, and speed too. With this package, you’ll get 800 horsepower, plus 700 lb/ft of torque. Top speed is elevated, too. 217 miles per hour is your new v-max, if you really wanted to hit that mark. But given the 22 inch wheels, and more styles exterior rather than track-day rubber, we guess a car like this will be used mostly for a weekend cruise rather than be someone’s dedicated Nurburgring toy. The GTstreet R coupe, however…
