TECHART’s GTstreet R is Lean, Mean, and Quite Green
The 991 Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S are pretty amazing cars. They’re some of the fastest-accelerating cars on the planet, and can handle a racetrack when the opportunity arises. But what if you want more power? What if you want something faster? What if you want something in an awesome, retina-searing green? It appears that folks at TECHART have you covered.
They call it the GTstreet R, and it starts its life as a 911 Turbo or Turbo S. From there you can add horsepower. A stage two kit will be available early next year that bumps power to 720 hp and torque to 920 Nm. That’s 140 horsepower more than stock from a Turbo S.
If you don’t want to go that extreme on power, they have a stage one kit for the Turbo S bumping power to 640 hp and 880 Nm. They’re claiming a 0-62mph time of 2.7 seconds (from a factory stock claim of 2.9s) but it could very well be quicker than that.
If you want a stage one kit for your non-S 911 Turbo, you can still get a 60 horsepower bump to 600 horsepower and 790 Nm.
Beyond the boost in power, TECHART improves the aerodynamic performance the 911 by adding a lot of carbon fiber, wind tunnel tested body work. Additionally, a rear wing helps keep the car planted at speed. At 186 mph in Sport Plus, the new bodywork and modifications add 707 additional pounds of downforce to the car.
20-inch (optional 21-inch) tires help keep the car planted, and wrap a set of special TECHART wheels. The 20-inch wheels have road-legal UHP tires with center locks. The 21-inch wheels are equipped with high-performance road tires.
A coilover suspension helps handling, and has PDCC connectivity or a front axle lift system.
TECHART offers two different interior options depending on your style and what you’re going for. The Exclusive interior wraps everything in leather, and would be the recommended interior option for those who still want some everyday livability.
If your a masochist, or plan on taking your car to the track regularly, the Clubsport interior replaces the leather with God’s fabric — Alcantara — highlights. Additionally, the Clubsport interior features a color-matched roll bar, door opening loops, and a 6-point harness.
The car is striking, that’s for sure. In the green paint scheme shown on the factory car it looks downright sinister. It helps knowing that it’s not all just for looks either; the bits are wind tunnel tested and the carbon fiber is there to lighten the vehicle. It won’t be mistaken for a normal 911.
At this time there is no pricing information available, but it’s surely not going to be cheap. But if you had your hopes up on a 911 GT3 RS the offering from TECHART might appeal to you, especially considering the power upgrades that are available. We have no doubts that it’ll be quite the monster.
