TechArt's Stealthy 790-HP Porsche 911 Turbo S: The GTstreet R Touring Release

Prepare to witness the fusion of understated elegance and breathtaking performance as TechArt unveils their latest masterpiece – the GTstreet R Touring. Based on the formidable Porsche 911 Turbo S, this bespoke creation combines subtle aerodynamic enhancements with an audacious power upgrade, promising an exhilarating driving experience like no other.

SUBTLE AESTHETICS

While the TechArt GTstreet R Touring may appear relatively subdued compared to its track-focused sibling, the Flyweight, it’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The Touring edition retains the carbon fiber body kits found on the original GTstreet R, allowing for extensive customization options to suit your unique tastes.

However, TechArt has dialed down the ostentation by swapping out the multi-tiered wing for a sleek carbon fiber ducktail spoiler, a staggering 60% lighter than the standard 911 Turbo’s wing. Larger cooling ducts further enhance the airflow to the upgraded twin-turbo flat-six engine, ensuring optimal performance under even the most demanding conditions.

POWER

Speaking of performance, TechArt offers two tantalizing tuning options for the Touring edition, each more potent than the last. The TA092/T1.1 upgrade amplifies the 3.7-liter flat-six to a blistering 700 horsepower and 664 lb-ft of torque – a substantial 59 hp and 74 lb-ft increase over the standard 911 Turbo S.

But for those seeking the ultimate thrill, the TA092/T2.1 upgrade pushes the boundaries even further, unleashing a jaw-dropping 790 hp and 701 lb-ft of torque. With this level of power on tap, the GTstreet R Touring can sprint from a standstill to 62 mph in a mere 2.5 seconds, ultimately reaching a top speed of 217 mph.

HANDLING PROWESS REFINED

TechArt’s commitment to performance extends beyond sheer power, with a widened track of 1.2 inches and a lowered suspension by an inch, ensuring precise handling and uncompromising grip. For those seeking further customization, an optional adjustable coilover kit is available, complemented by TechArt’s lightweight 20-/21-inch Formula VI forged center-lock wheels.

INTERIOR OPULENCE

Step inside the GTstreet R Touring, and you’ll be enveloped in a world of bespoke luxury. TechArt offers a myriad of customization options, from exquisite leathers and heritage fabrics to custom-colored seat pipings, ensuring that your interior reflects your unique style and preferences.

EXCLUSIVITY REDEFINED

Exclusivity is the hallmark of the GTstreet R Touring, with production limited to a mere 25 examples – a far cry from the original GTstreet R but not as scarce as the Flyweight. This rarity comes at a premium, with each conversion starting at 98,250 euros or around $107,520 with the current exchange rates – a price that must be added to the standard 911 Turbo S’s MSRP.

For those seeking a fusion of understated elegance and uncompromising performance, the TechArt GTstreet R Touring is the ultimate expression of automotive excellence. Prepare to turn heads and leave a lasting impression on the streets with this stealthy powerhouse.
