Renowned tuner Techart, known for adding insane power to everything with a Porsche badge, has finally worked over the 2009 Porsche Cayenne Diesel SUV, adding more performance and improving its style.

Specially developed for the Cayenne Diesel, Techart's new Aerokit 1 includes a redesigned front panel with a deeper front spoiler, integrated driving and fog lamps and additional cooling vents to help keep temperatures under control during consistently hard driving. Deeper sills help manage under body airflow and at the rear a new apron with integrated diffuser completes the underbody aerodynamics. Airflow behind the vehicle is managed by a low... Renowned tuner Techart, known for adding insane power to everything with a Porsche badge, has finally worked over the 2009 Porsche Cayenne Diesel SUV, adding more performance and improving its style. Specially developed for the Cayenne Diesel, Techart's new Aerokit 1 includes a redesigned front panel with a deeper front spoiler, integrated driving and fog lamps and additional cooling vents to help keep temperatures under control during consistently hard driving. Deeper sills help manage under body airflow and at the rear a new apron with integrated diffuser completes the underbody aerodynamics. Airflow behind the vehicle is managed by a low drag roof spoiler. For models fitted with Porsche's air suspension, the Aerokit 1 package also includes a unique suspension control module that lowers the vehicle, reducing roll and further improving aerodynamics. When the vehicle is stationary, the control system lowers the vehicle a little more to improve access and to further improve the low, aerodynamic look. Other pieces include headlight and rearlight surround trims, 21in alloy wheels fitted with Michelin Diamaris tires, quad exhaust pipes, a three-spoke Techart sports steering wheel, aluminum pedals and custom leather trim. If the Aerokit 1 still appears 'too' subtle, Techart also offers 22in body colored wheels, a custom bonnet and piping leather trim. Under the hood, customers can opt for Techart's latest TA 055/D1power upgrade, which boosts the vehicle's 3.0-liter turbodiesel engine from 240hp (176kW) to 290hp (213kW) and takes torque from 550Nm to 630Nm at a still low 2,200rpm. More importantly, up to 500Nm of torque is available from just 1,100rpm and lasts right up until 4,000rpm. The end result of all the modifications is a 0-60mph time of 7.7 seconds - 0.6 seconds quicker than the stock model. The real improvement, however, is that the huge torque and very flat delivery provides impressive acceleration from most speeds, making the vehicle feel more like a big V8 than a highly efficient diesel V6.2009 Porsche Cayenne Diesel Read More

Renowned tuner TECHART, known for adding insane power to everything with the Porsche badge, will be bringing a pair of modified Porsche Cayennes to the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, one a diesel, and the other a super-potent Magnum version of the Cayenne Turbo S.

The Magnum (dark grey) gets a power bump to 680hp (500kW) and 665lb-ft (900Nm) thanks to a retuned ECU and a host of other engine mods. Sports air filters, a new turbocharger, high-flow manifolds, custom exhaust and more add up to yield the stump-pulling power and torque. Dressing up the engine to look its best, TECHART fit a shiny carbon fiber kit over the cylinder head and added an... Renowned tuner TECHART, known for adding insane power to everything with the Porsche badge, will be bringing a pair of modified Porsche Cayennes to the 2009 Geneva Motor Show, one a diesel, and the other a super-potent Magnum version of the Cayenne Turbo S. The Magnum (dark grey) gets a power bump to 680hp (500kW) and 665lb-ft (900Nm) thanks to a retuned ECU and a host of other engine mods. Sports air filters, a new turbocharger, high-flow manifolds, custom exhaust and more add up to yield the stump-pulling power and torque. Dressing up the engine to look its best, TECHART fit a shiny carbon fiber kit over the cylinder head and added an engine cover with red lacquer highlights at the front. All that power is good for 0-62mph (100km/h) times of just 4.2 seconds and 0-124mph (200km/h) in 14.5. Top speed comes at a mind-warping 191mph (308km/h) - in an SUV. Also part of the Magnum package: a full body kit, 30mm lowering, a choice of 20-23in wheels, and a reworked interior, including a de Sede Classic S line treatment for the seating and upholstery. The diesel version (in white) gets a less sport-focused tune, with emphasis on the aerodynamics of the vehicle. A full bodykit, front, sides and rear gives the vehicle a new aesthetic and promises smooth airflow, while custom alloy wheels give the SUV a polished look and inside, carbon fiber trim and upgraded materials yield a complete custom package. Both vehicles will be on display next week at the TECHART booth in Geneva, Switzerland.TECHART Porsche Cayenne Magnum S and Diesel Read More

Techart is well known in the aftermarket tuner scene for creating some of the greatest performance kits for Porsche cars, so it comes as little surprise that there has been plenty of interest in the German tuner’s latest kit designed for the facelifted 911 range.

The GT Street R is fitted with a power upgrade kit, which boosts engine output to 660hp (485kW) and 634lb-ft (860Nm) of torque. These sees acceleration figures for the automatic 911 Turbo whittled down to just 3.4 seconds for the 0-100km/h sprint. The manual model takes just one tenth of a second more, and both models will reach a claimed top speed of 345km/h.

The manual model takes just one tenth of a second more, and both models will reach a claimed top speed of 345km/h. The increase in engine output is due to the addition of a pair of new turbochargers, large carbon fibre inlet pipes, special intercoolers, a sports exhaust system with high-performance manifolds, and an improved sports air filter. Accompanying the list of engine mods is a new coil-over suspension set-up, a custom bonnet, carbon-fiber headlight and side mirror trim, sporty side sills, a carbon roof spoiler, and new air ducts behind the front bumper. The custom aerokit has been tested to add an additional 10kg of downforce on both the front and rear axles at speeds of about 140km/h. At request, Techart can also add individually tailored leather fittings, 20in three-spoke forged alloy wheels and aluminum pedals.Techart GT Street R Porsche 911 Turbo Read More

Techart is well known in the aftermarket tuner scene for creating some of the best functional aerokits for Porsche cars, so it comes as little surprise that there has been plenty of interest in the German tuner’s latest kit designed for the facelifted 911 range.

The pieces are constructed from high-quality polyurethane and have been developed using extensive wind-tunnel testing. The new front spoiler not only gives the 911 a slightly more aggressive look, it also reduces buoyant forces on the front axle and ensures optimal air flow to the brakes.

A roof spoiler and a three-way adjustable rear wing allow owners to customize the level...

A roof spoiler and a three-way adjustable rear wing allow owners to customize the level of downforce applied on the rear axle to suit different driving tastes and performance needs. There are also a number of different wing styles, including a fully-active unit with an integrated back pressure air channel and additional adjustable gurney flaps. Other details include decorative carbon-fiber trim for the side mirrors, a chrome finish for the headlights, lightweight wheels, and a custom sports exhaust system with a dual-oval muffler design. Techart plans to present its new kit plus several other in-progress pieces for the facelifted Porsche 911 at the Essen Motor Show on the 28th of next month.Techart Aerokit for the 2009 Porsche 911 Read More
