Default TechArt GTstreet 911 Turbo



With its 2001 TechArt GTstreet based on the 996 Porsche 911 Turbo, TechArt created one of the fastest and most powerful street-legal sports cars of its time. The next evolutionary stage of this fascinating concept celebrates its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2007: the new TechArt GTstreet based on the 911 Turbo of the latest 997 series.

Like the predecessor, the new GTstreet edition centers on a powerful engine. The 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat engine is modified by the TechArt engine specialists and now develops 630 bhp at 6,800 rpm, up from standard 480 bhp. Peak torque increases 605 at 4,500 rpm.

Thus equipped the TechArt GTstreet delivers performance that firmly places it among the world’s fastest sports cars: 0 – 62 mph in just 3.2 seconds, 126 mph after just 10.9 seconds and a top speed of 214 mph speak volumes.

The body kit for the TechArt GTstreet was created in the wind tunnel, and offers an optimal symbiosis of aerodynamic downforce, minimized drag and striking design.

It reminded of the M5 Luma Design, but this looks much better IMO.

That looks great! I love everything about it: the subtle body-kit, the big black/orange wheels, the rear wing and the two tone color. Now let's hope the real car won't look too different from this...

If it will have the handling of the GT3 RS that would be superb 8)

^ I'm sure it will handle amazing, but with 4wd it won't be as easy to hold in a controlled powerslide as the GT3 I guess. On the other hand, the extra power makes up for a lot!
