TechArt Launches New Performance Kits for Facelifted Porsche 911 Turbo


Longtime Porsche tuner TechArt is at it again. This time, the object of its tuning affection is the refreshed and more powerful Porsche 911 Turbo that was revealed at last year's Frankfurt Motor-Show.

In particular, the German firm has launched a new performance kit available in two stages that provide the 911 Turbo with an extra punch and even more power.

The first stage is called the 'TA 097/T1' and it includes a recalibrated engine control unit and the use of a sport air filter. Theses upgrades add an extra 70HP bumping power up to 570HP. That allows the 911 Turbo to sprint to 100km/h (62mph) in 3.2 seconds and max out at 324 km/h or 201 mph.

On top of the aforementioned mods, the second stage kit 'TA 097/T2' also involves the installation of new manifolds and a custom sport exhaust system, pushing output to 620HP and 820Nm (604.8 lb-ft) of peak torque, up from the standard car's 500Hp and 700Nm or 516 lb-ft - with overboost.

As a result, the Porsche 911 Turbo complete the 0 to 100 km/h (62mph) sprint in 2.9 seconds, while the 200 km/h barrier is broken in 9.3 seconds and the sports car reaches a top speed of 333 km/h or 208 mph.
