German tuner TechArt has created a new kit for the Porsche 911 Turbo. After the conversion, the engine delivers 580 hp at 6,000 rpm and a maximum torque of 700 Nm at 4,850 rpm. Power is transmitted to all four wheels via a modified six-speed manual gearbox with TechArt gearshift travel shortage and additional gearbox-oil cooling.
The 3.6 liter boxer engine was modified with two bigger turbochargers, a sports air filter, and the stainless steel exhaust system with special manifolds and integrated high performance catalysts. The car will hit 62 mph in 3.46 seconds, and can reach a top speed of 210 mph.
The exterior has also been customized with TechArt Formula five-spoke wheels and an aerodynamics kit. The TechArt front spoiler reduces aerodynamic lift by 15 percent, while the new rear wing produces 20 percent extra downforce in conjunction with the TechArt rear diffuser. Gallery after the jump…

Looks clean. I can’t wait to see their version of the Turbo S model, that is if Porche decides to make it…

Too much appendages spoil the 911 look. Seems like the best looking current 911 is the GT3.

I personally like TechArts work. They’re clean, understated, and add a touch of aggression that the 997 911T lacks. I also love the white pearl paint with the black rims. I’m not even a Porsche fan.

If you have ever driven or been driven in a Turbo, you know the first thing this car needs is more power.

i respectfully disagree. 480 to the wheels w/ 457 lbf·ft of torque is quite enough.

I would soil my trousers if I saw the face of that car in my rear view mirror. It looks a little desperate for attention, but in a menacing, my car needs more air than your car kind of way.
For those of you who want more power, where would you deploy it?

I was at a car meet a few weeks ago when a Porsche 996 Turbo TechArt GT-S showed up. He had done over $200,000 worth of upgrades to his Turbo!! He had 718 hp to the wheels, and he was using 2 GT-35 turbos, the suspension from a Porsche Cup car, etc. etc. etc. there was so many modifications it was ridiculous. But his looked very clean and nice this however is kinda screwed up.

Needs a Fokker Triplane rear wing a la Red Baron from days gone by. And bigger … MUCH BIGGER.
