KTW Tuning Enhance The Porsche 991 Carrera S

KTW-Porsche-Carrera-S-991-medium

The Porsche 991 (AKA the 911) – fifty years of history, pedigree and fine-tuning. Can it ever reach perfection? Is there such a thing as perfection? Okay, let’s not get too philosophical about it. After all, what’s good and what’s bad and what’s perfect is a very subjective point. That explains why KTW from Germany have taken up enhancing the Porsche Carrera S 991.

Rest assured, the Porsche’s 3.8-liter 400 hp has been left immaculate. In fact, all KTW did was to get their hands on a TECHART body kit and glue it on. In other words, a front lip spoiler, two side skirts, two wing mirror caps, a rear lip-like spoiler and a big anti-wing on top. Okey so there are also the Formula III 21-inch wheels which complete the picture .

Again a TECHART feature, is the noselift system which is supposed to eliminate that fear of scraping a speed hump. There’s also a custom made exhaust system with valve control.

KTW say that the interior too has undergone a lot of changes – the steering wheel, the seats, the dashboard, the center console and many other. There is, however, nothing specific on these modifications. The seatbelts are red. Does that count?

The transformed Kia vehicles definitely make surprising impression. The gasoline car is also known as Edition Desperados and includes a 1.6 GDI unit which deliver 135 hp (99 kW).

But this is not all of it. KTW has also featured here rim slots, removable trailer coupling, darkly tinted rear taillights and the airbag for driver and co-driver.

The other Kia is equipped with front driven diesel 1.7 CRD unit, also and it is also known as Edition Desperados. The engine produces 116 hp (85 kW) and the tuning here includes aircon, 6-speed transmission, removable trailer coupling with MOT approved 2,600 kgs of towing capacity, carbon seat heating and airbags for both driver and co-driver.
