A little gaudy for my liking. Detracts from the classic Porsche design IMO. I'm a big fan of simplicity in design.

Personally I am also a stock kind of guy but I don't mind the interior and power upgrades.

The quad centered exhaust pipes make me cringe a little.

That powerkit will undoubtedly be a hot item, assuming it's not priced into the stratosphere.

Whew! Couldn't make it past the "bonnet reveal." All the heavy breathing and audible swallowing and jaunty, nudge nudge wink wink delivery made me long for the days when audio and video work was handled by professionals and the people who sounded like that on TV were doing comedy show parodies of amateurs. One-half star.

As for the car, I did get far enough to see the orange air-vent tabs, a move lifted directly from the "I can't afford to actually modify my car but I can randomly spray some highlights onto some interior parts" crowd. Not to disparage that actual crowd -- they long to modify their car and can't afford to so they scratch the itch as inexpensively as they can. I've been fairly poor and I get that.

But the only thing poor about TechArt's customers is their taste.

it bit over the top w/ those orange accents. otherwise, the exterior looks good except for the quad tips in the center.

Yep, looks like Corvette's.

It would be cool if they make a center twin pip just like GT3 and 911R's.

I too think a bit over the top mainly due to the orange painted bits/calipers. I like the custom interior and even the film although I'm not certain about the all black wheel. Yuk those orange painted bits!

I've always consider the TechArt stuff a bit garish and nothing I would do to my toys. However that being stated, I really like the flat bottom steering wheel shown in the video. I wish Porsche offered one - I don't feel like having mine modified but it would help us older owners when getting into our cars.

Powerkit: interesting. Orange accents - and I like orange as my coming CS is in Lava - is a bit twee to my eye; an orange dial for the mode selector

I wonder about the efficacy/effect on drag of the add-on wing...
