Design and Features
editTo the stock Porsche 997 Turbo, TechArt has added a body kit featuring new front and rear spoilers, carbon fibre grille, headlight covers, and side skirts. The car is fitted with TechArt's own 20" wheels, with Michelin Pilot tires to improve handling. The interior is trimmed out with carbon fiber and custom upholstery as well. The most significant modification to the car is under the engine lid. TechArt has modified the stock 3.6 litres (219.7 cu in) flat-6 with larger turbochargers, improved engine control unit chip, and stainless steel exhaust system. With these modifications, the engine develops 600 hp (447 kW; 608 PS) at 6400 rpm and 609 lb⋅ft (826 N⋅m) of torque at 3700 rpm, allowing for a top speed of 210 mph (338 km/h). Customers pay for the base 997 Turbo, which costs $122,900 USD, then add the desired modifications; the bodykit costs $11,000 USD, while the engine upgrades are $29,500 USD. The full package retails for about $186,000 USD.
