FT2: TechART GTStreet R and GTStreet RS

April 23, 2009 by George Skentzos  




In our contact with TechArt it quickly became apparent that these were not merely tuned Porsches we were dealing with, they were works of art with an engine.

FT2: TechART GTStreet R and GTStreet RS

Each TechArt vehicle is held in such high regard that while in company hands all unnecessary driving is avoided to keep the vehicles in pristine condition, so naturally CarAdvice has been able to secure not one, but two of these amazing creations.

Further to this point, the CarAdvice team will take the helm of TechArt’s flagship range – the GTStreet R and GTStreet RS – based on Porsche’s own current flagship 911 GT2.

With an incomprehensible 515kW and maximum torque of 860Nm available, it staggers the mind to think these figures are no longer merely numbers on a page – we will be driving these cars.

Their appearance is both radical and functional, with the GTstreet Aerodynamic Package adding 10kg of downforce on both the front and rear axles at a speed of 140km/h, good to know for the unrestricted German autobahns.

    Truly envious (actually a very dark colour of green) of you getting to pilot some of TechArts finest!!
    ….and why can’t Porsche have air intakes like that on the rear guards instead of the cheesy looking ones they have on the Turbo & GT2?

    Because Porsche is into mass production, TechArt just takes the finest Porsche has on offer and applies focus and attention to it all. Thank God we have Techart now in Australia !
