TechArt GTStreet R

The TechArt GTStreet R is one of the most powerful aftermarket versions of the Porsche 911 Turbo. TechArt has outfitted the 911 with new engine upgrades, improved aerodynamics, luxurious interior refinements, and new Porsche wheels.One of the most exciting aspects of the TechArt GTStreet R is the twin-turbocharged flat-six engine. The stock 516 horsepower and 650 Nm output has been increased dramatically due to a host of new upgrades. With the TechArt Performance kit, power is increased to 660 hp and 860 Nm, and is sent to each of the four Porsche wheels through a TechArt sport clutch and standard six-speed transmission. This enables the turbocharged sports car to accelerate to 62 mph in 3.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 345 km/h.
Due to the incredible performance of the new TechArt GTStreet R, the German tuner has designed a new aerodynamic body kit to improve stability. At the front is a new apron that is lower than the stock unit and features a carbon fiber splitter. The new apron also helps to redirect air to the brakes and intercoolers at the front of the 911. The front apron also features a new multifunctional day-driving LED system that integrates DRLs, side lights, parking lights, and indicators. At the rear of the GTStreet R is an adjustable spoiler with air inlets and a carbon fiber diffuser that work to generate additional downforce and achieve a low drag coefficient.
Although the new aerodynamics work to create better high speed stability, nothing works as well as new forged 3 piece wheels and an upgraded suspension. Forged 3 piece wheels offer a unique styling aspect along with the low weight of a forged wheel. When fitting new Porsche wheels, TechArt recommends using Conti Sport Contact 3 or Michelin Pilot Sport Cup Plus tires. The suspension has also been upgraded with the new TechArt VarioPlus threaded chassis, giving the driver the ability to adjust the ride height by up to 25 mm. For convenience, customers can order the TechArt nose-lift system that can raise the front of the 911 by up to 90 mm to maneuver past obstacles.
Inside, customers have a wide selection of custom interior refinements. The entire cockpit, even the door and side panels, can be furnished in soft leather. The leather can be fitted with contrasting stitching on the seats, center console, and other trims. For a sportier feel, TechArt offers carbon fiber trim pieces, aluminum floor pedals, and illuminated entrance sills.
The TechArt GTStreet R is a showcase of exceptional performance and style. Everything from the 660 horsepower engine to the 3 piece forged wheels exudes confidence and pow
