  • Manta Porsche 996 Turbo Transformed by OK-Chiptuning

    OK-Chiptuning-Manta-Porsche-996-Turbo-THUMBThe professionals at OK-Chiptuning decided to do something different on a Porsche 996 Turbo. First thing that grabs the attention here are the exterior colors that are in the color of the rainbow and impresses with its joyful character.

    However, what is more important here is that the car has received a boost in power and now has an output of 650 hp (478 kW) and 750 Nm (554 lb-ft) maximum torque. This was achieved thanks to a charge air cooler that was installed in both K24-Turbolader and GT2-RS-. Thanks to it, it is achieved more intense intake for turbochargers. Also Sachs-Performance-clutch and an exhaust system with continuous 70-millimeter-tubes contribute to the seamless performance of this Porsche.

    Furthermore, there is an AG-rim finishing for powder coating of the rims. The 19 inch rims are matched with an appropriate set of tyres in 235/35-19 or 305/30-19. In addition, in order to enhance the driving dynamics, KW-Coilover-Suspension of the version 3 is installed. There was also added a rear spoiler which was delivered by TechArt.

    At last, in order to bring about the “crazy” exterior effect, OK-Chiptuning collaborated with Cam Shaft Premium Wrapping. The result is that the Manta-Porsche received a three-colour foliation.

  • Premiere For 2013 Porsche 911 Turbo And Turbo S

    2013-Porsche-911-Turbo-S-THUMBThis year Porsche celebrates 40 years anniversary of its emblematic 911 Turbo model with the unveiling of the new generation 911 Turbo and Turbo S. In terms of technologies the models will combine the virtues of a circuit race car with those of an everyday road car.

    New all-wheel drive running gear with active rear axle steering, adaptive aerodynamics, full-LED headlights and up to 560 hp from the flat six-cylinder twin-turbocharged engine highlight some of the innovations included in the new variants of the 911.

    Furthermore, the chassis design is entirely new – it has 100 mm longer wheelbase riding on larger diameter 20-inch wheels. The Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PDCC) active anti-roll system enhances the performance and comes as a standard together with the Sport Chrono Package Plus and Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB).

    The performance of the powertrain is significant thanks to the new Porsche Traction Management (PTM) all-wheel drive system and the turbocharged 3.8-litre flat-six engine with direct petrol injection. The unit generates 520 hp (383 kW) in the 911 Turbo, and 560 hp (412 kW) in the Turbo S. The Power is transferred to the drivetrain via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK), which enables an auto start/stop function with engine shut-off.

    To make this car run even faster, Porsche developed a new all-wheel drive system (PTM) with an electronically controlled and activated multi-plate clutch. The system is equipped with a new water cooling function. In this way it can direct even more drive torque to the front wheels.

    The acceleration time for these Porsche models is more than satisfying. The 911 Turbo sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds, while the 911 Turbo S covers this sprint in 3.1 seconds. The top speed here is 197 mph.

    What is more, the new rear axle steering is what enhances track driving and everyday performance. This system comprises of two electro-mechanical actuators on the left and right of the rear axle. The result is unrivalled cornering agility and more dynamic steering responses.

    Additionally, Porsche has developed an active aerodynamic system for these models as well. It consists of a retractable three-stage front spoiler with pneumatically extended segments and a deployable rear wing with three adjustable positions. As a consequence the 911 Turbo and Turbo S deliver both optimal efficiency and ultimate dynamic performance.

    At last, the interior of the car is of course completely redesigned in both models. For instance, the Turbo S offers an exclusive interior in a Black/Carrera Red colour combination and Sport Seats Plus with 18-way adjustment and position memory. Here, the seat backrest shells are leather upholstered with double cap seams and various elements in Carbon Look.

    For the sound inside the coupe is responsible the Bose Surround Sound audio system that comes as a standard. A radar-controlled cruise control system, camera-based road sign recognition and speed limit recognition are other new options that are being offered.

    In this video by Dragtimesinfo, you’ll see a Honda NSX Twin Turbo prepared by Total Race with 700HP versus Porsche 911 Turbo S (997) Mk.2 Stock with just 530HP. However, the Porsche made a perfect start and set a terminal speed of 282.74 km/h in the first, which was more than enough to beat the mighty Honda.

    In the second start, the NSX also had huge troubles with the launch, but after that it managed to get the needed traction and won.

  • Jeep SRT-8 vs Mustang, 911 Turbo, Cayenne and X6M

    Here are several starts of a brutal Jeep Cherokee SRT-8 Supercharged with 700HP against some powerful, tuned vehicles – BMW X6M Hamann Stage 2 670HP, Porsche Cayenne Turbo Gemballa GT600 with 600HP, Ford Mustang GT500 612hp and Porsche 911 Turbo Stage 2 580HP.

    As you can see, all these SAVs and cars are underpowered, but as we know – power is nothing without control. Although the BMW starts first with reaction time of only 0.310 seconds, it is quickly overtaken by the Jeep. The X6 M crosses the finish line with 248.31 km/h terminal speed against 246.74 km/h for the Cherokee.

    In the second start versus the Cayenne Turbo the scenario is the same. Better reaction from the Porsche driver, but worse 60ft and overall performance – 236.43 km/h at 1 mile for the Cayenne and 262.49 km/h for the Cherokee.

    The third start is versus the mighty Mustang having 612 HP, a lot less weight and way better cD (drag coefficient). At the start the Mustang is dominated, because it is RWD against the AWD in Cherokee. The Mustang’s 60ft time is bad – 2.198 seconds against just 1.699 seconds for the Cherokee. However, the car crosses the finish line with 284.27 km/h, which is more than enough for a win.

    In the last start, the Cherokee is against Porsche 911 Turbo with 580HP. The SUV didn’t have any difficulties, because it started first, with better 60 ft time and overall performance – 260.05 km/h and 29.820 seconds at 1 mile.

    Check out the video below for all starts.
