TechArt Does It Again - The TechArt GTStreet R Based on the 991 Turbo S | TAG M
Our history with TechArt dates back to the introduction of the Cayenne Magnum, the beast SUV from Germany that launched a new genre of customization for that class. The year 2007 marked an exciting moment for TAG Motorsports, as our first full TechArt build took shape and a wonderful relationship with a company focused on excellence flourished.
Fast forward nearly 10 years, and TechArt has repeated its formula for success once again: take an already incredible design and performance standard and lift it up to new heights.
Introducing the new TechArt GT Street R.
Representing the ideal symbiosis of outstanding performance and unrestricted suitability for daily use, the TechArt GT Street R is based on the Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S models, and takes the characteristics of the 911 Turbo to new a new level of performance drivability.
Exterior design and aerodynamics:
The expressive, lightweight carbon fiber body parts put the 911 Turbo in the spotlight. At the same time, the aerokit optimizes the road handling of the GTstreet R by increased downforce. Active aerodynamics provide a total downforce of 321 kg at 300 km/h in Performance Mode. This enables breathtaking lateral acceleration and driving stability at all speeds.
The carbon fiber GTstreet R front apron with its active front spoiler lip optimizes the airflow onto the water- and oil coolers with additional air intakes. A central air outlet helps to reduce the aerodynamic lift. The integrated front lights are tastefully surrounded by carbon airframes. Laterally positioned flaps increase the downforce and reduce the drag coefficient at the same time. The lightweight carbon front lid, which bears a three dimensional TECHART logotype at its inside, underlines the vigorous appearance of the TECHART GTstreet R with its dynamic shape.
The carbon front fenders feature front wheel arch air outlets. Both, the heat generated by the brakes as well as the overpressure produced by the turning wheels are discharged through racy visible carbon slats. The carbon side skirts continue the GTstreet R design line and interlink the extended wheel arches at front and rear aesthetically. For maximum airflow to the intercoolers, the rear side sections of the GTstreet R feature powerful carbon air intakes.
The rear apron incorporates distinctive air outlet ducts – typical for the TECHART GTstreet styling. A trim panel made of visible carbon fiber creates visual impact by connecting the three dimensional taillights. A carbon rear diffusor frames another GTstreet R highlight: the high performance sport exhaust system. Four central carbon fiber tailpipes release the exhaust fumes while generating an extraordinary and powerful soundscape.
On top of the engine lid, the active GTstreet R rear wing catches the eye with its contoured carbon wing profile, carbon side panels and two aerodynamic carbon fiber winglets. In Performance Mode, the GTstreet R wing is raised automatically and its angle is adjusted by up to 15 degrees. A large aerodynamically shaped carbon air intake unit ensures sufficient air supply for the engine at any time.
Driving dynamics & performance:
To provide the required grip, TECHART fits enlarged tire dimensions to the GTstreet R. The road contact is ensured by 265/35 ZR 20 tires at the front (also available: 265/30 ZR 21) and 325/30 ZR 20 tires at the rear (optional: 325/25 ZR 21). Customers can chose among 20-inch or 21-inch wheels. The forged 20-inch TECHART Formula IV Race centerlock wheels are equipped with roadlegal UHP tires. The 21-inch TECHART Formula IV wheels feature a weight optimized rim construction and are equipped with road tires. Both wheels can be individually customized in color and surface finish.
TECHART provides different options for the chassis such as the TECHART VarioPlus coilover suspension with PDDC connectivity or the TECHART Noselift front axle lift system. TECHART Noselift makes common obstacles like parking garages, ramps or speed humps a thing of the past as it instantly provides 60 mm of additional ground clearance at the front axle at the push of a button. Individualization of the brake calipers is quality-made with a temperature-resistant coating and ensures a perfect color match.
Needless to say that the new TECHART GTstreet R demonstrates its performance skills not only in terms of its visual appearance but also when it hits the road. TECHART boosts the performance of the engines of the 991/I and 991/II 911 Turbo and Turbo S models with a range of impressive powerkits, which generate a total power output of up to 471 kW (640 hp) and a maximum torque of 880 Nm (650 lb/ft). In addition a second stage of powerkits, unleashing a total of 530 kW (720 hp) will be available as of early 2017. In combination with the 911 Turbos’ active all-wheel drive system, the driving performance of the GTstreet R reaches a new level.
Besides its stunning sound and appearance, the new TECHART high performance sport exhaust system features another highlight. TECHART introduces a continuously variable pneumatic valve control as a novelty in the new GTstreet R. The stepless valve adjustment optimizes the exhaust back pressure depending on different load conditions and avoids unwanted frequencies effectively.
Interior design:
Entering the new GTstreet R, the whole know-how and workmanship of TECHART’s interior manufactury reveals. TECHART created two different GTstreet R interior variants. The interior package »Exclusive« flatters with finest leather, the Clubsport version sets sport-focused Alcantara highlights. Among a wide range of refinement options included in both interior packages, the »Clubsport« interior includes a color-matched roll bar, 6 point harnesses and door opening loops.
Both interior versions come with door panel inserts and seats with GTstreet R design stitching. Dashboard, center console, roof liner, sun visors and door pillars are covered in leather or Alcantara. The mode switch at the steering wheel, the air vents, the air vent adjusters, the PDK gear selector, the gear lever surround and the seat adjustment are lacquered in custom color. As an option, TECHART carbon fiber interior parts complete the tailormade surrounding, such as trims, panels or seat backpanels in different visible carbon fiber finishes, to mention a few.
Settled in the sport or in the sport bucket seats, the ergonomic TECHART sport steering wheel awaits the driver. Coming with a smaller diameter, a straight-ahead marker, paddle back-covers as well as fully individualized in terms of colors and materials, no wishes remain unfulfilled. Color-matched instrument dials, door entry guards and aluminium sport pedals round off the unique interior design. As a sign of exclusiveness and originality, the glove compartment features a milled GTstreet R signet with a sequential number on its lid, and, inside the glove compartment, an exclusive handmade GTstreet R wallet contains the vehicle documents.
We are very impressed with the quality of the design and attention to detail of the GT Street R, which is a clear example of TechArt’s determination and strive towards excellence. We can’t wait to build one.

Woooo wheeeee, that's something seriously fugly!
Or as Arnold said to the Predator: "You are one ugly motherf@%#er"
Which is too bad, because it looks like a lot of though and engineering actually went into it.

I kind of like both designs, a bold statement against status quo.
I would drive it with my bat suit for the green and pimp suit for the black - perfect for halloween / comic con / gangsta gathering etc :P

i just want that exhaust. The 991.2 PSE exhaust gap is just odd (Cayman has awesome exhaust design). I wonder if Techart can sell the exhaust only.

The look at me lines/angles + look at me green = too much look at me.
But. Wonder what this would look like all in black.
We've all seen some hideous monsters roll out of Porsche Exclusive too.

It looks like if you toned it down 10% and painted it a normal color, it would probably look damn nice.

Well, overall it is not my cup-of-tea. But I do like some of the design ideas presented by Techart. I would personally turn the 'volume' down a wee-bit on the color scheme and some features.

I think it’s safe to say that this is certainly a very specific car in regards to who its for and how its setup.
However, there are choices to be made when a build like this takes place.
Here are some shots from TechArt of a different set up.
