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.

  1. So a fat SUV that's quicker than most 911s and some Ferarris. I'm pretty sure they've done this before. Cool (not aesthetically, but for just the physics-defying engineering they had to do to build it), still I think it would've been cooler to go all out with the diesel version, too. Imagine the torque! Next up, get it to do 0-62 in under 4 seconds.

  2. Almost as insane as the Gemballa Bi Turbo version

  3. TechArt is one of the masters, but indeed, they do need to retire those tired sideskirts. Also, I'm sure they could have done a better job on the paint where you can discernably notice the difference between factory and booth painting... ah well, I'll wait to see what's up with the engine mods before passing judgement.
