TechArt GTstreet RS, based on the Porsche 911 GT2 RS

Every day that goes by, an event like the Frankfurt Motor Show becomes more and more interesting, especially with news like the one that the German tuner TechArt has just surprised us with: a project based on the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, the vehicle considered by Porsche to be the most powerful and fastest ever built by the German brand.

Specifically, we are looking at a project to optimise all kinds of elements aimed at improving aerodynamics, chassis and interior, and above all at giving it a truly unmistakable aesthetic that is unmistakably the brand’s own, something that should make us understand what kind of vehicle we are dealing with.

Specifically, according to TechArt, they have worked hard to increase the power of the fantastic flat-six engine, a power that on this occasion rises to 720 hp and 900 Nm of peak torque, enough for the GTstreet RS to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds, break the 200 km/h barrier in 9.8 seconds or reach a top speed of 352 km/h.

On the other hand, elements such as aerodynamics have been improved thanks to a new, specially designed body kit based on the one TechArt had so far been fitting to all the 911s, an aerodynamic kit that has received a new adjustable front splitter which, together with the rear diffuser and the new rear wing, gives the whole car much greater downforce.

As is logical, new air intakes have been developed to direct and channel airflow towards the brakes and intercooler. Notable among these is the fitting of 20-inch forged lightweight alloy wheels, whose weight and rigidity have been optimised thanks to lighter twin-spoke designs or the use of a single centre-lock fixing nut.

Inside, the typical individual decorative components made of carbon fibre, aluminium pedals and lighting on the door sill plates have been fitted. Without a doubt, a beast worth seeing in person.
