At the upcoming Geneva auto show, tuner TechArt will unveil a new version of its GTstreet based on the 911 Turbo of the latest 997 series. A similar car was revealed in 2001, based on the 996 model series.
The GTstreet features a 3.6-liter twin-turbo engine modified by the TechArt engine specialists to develop 630 horsepower at 6,800 rpm, up from standard 480 horsepower. Peak torque increases from 620 Nm to 820 Nm at 4,500 rpm.
The car hitting 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds and 124 mph after just 10.9 seconds.
The body kit for the TechArt GTstreet was created in the wind tunnel, and offers optimal aerodynamic downforce.

———->an even sweeter version of my MOST FAVORITE car in the world: the 911 Turbo.
I still can’t wait for the 997 Ruf R Turbo though……

*sarcasm* Wow, nobody saw that coming.
Heh, what I meant was that anyone could’ve predicted the way they were going to make it look by just looking back to their previous models. Nothing really new. Regardless, it looks really good IMO. Techart has always made good stuff. The 997 Carrera kit that they have is still my all-time favorite, simple, clean & not overdone.

A lot of TechArt’s body kits look VERY similar to the stock Porsche body. They just seem to push it that little bit further. Lines get sharper, holes get bigger, fascias get lower. It’s great.

I really just wish they would change the front end . After over 20years of having the same kinda look, it needs to be updated.

As far as sales numbers/ratings are concerned, buyers seem happy.

The TechArt M5 was one of the best looking things I’ve ever seen. This 911 looks nice too from the pix.

TechArt does some nice things to Porsches, but Ruf and especially Gemballa make them dream cars. I’d still accept this 911.

Gemballa are really good looking, but mechanically there are not what they should be, resulting in some cars spontaniously going up in flames

Andre Neves, sales and number also are because of the numbers on the track. But the style anyone can say needs a big of an update more so then what they are doing.

My favorite brand has always been Porsche. Somebody said that they should update the front end, no they shouldn’t. Porsche is porsche and hope it will always be the same looking. Only little changes, like those new led tail lights. TechArt is my own favorite and i hope that some beautiful day i have my own Carrera, of course tuned by TechArt. Its just quite expensive here in Finland.. Standard 911 turbo costs something like 215 000€ (285 000$) + equipment + techart tuning.. the pirce will easily be over 300 000€.
