This Porsche 911 Turbo S Nemesis is Capable of More Than 600 HP

It is time to hear about something new from the tuning world and this time it is not only related to the tuned car but also to the company. Under the spot is the perfect Porsche 911 Turbo S wich has been transformed by the Prototyp Production tuning company. The specialists have been working for a year now, but this is the first project we hear they are releasing.

Since birth, the tuner has promised to make literally everything in-house: ranging from the paint finish to the carbon elements. For this Porsche, the company hasn’t done much. However, we think that it is perfectly sufficient.

To start with the exterior, first that capture the glances are the changed wheels. The new ones are in-house made and are called NEMESIS. Being a limited edition of only 50 units, they measure 21 inches and are fitted with the appropriate Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires in 245/30 ZR21 at the front and 305/25 ZR21 at the rear.

At the back of the car, we also see a new stainless steel exhaust system, which features 2 valves and 200 cells sports cats. This perfectly compliments the improvements done on the engine. Via software treatment the output of 911 Turbo S unit has been enhanced up to 604 hp (444 kW) and 820 Nm (605 lb-ft) of torque.

At last, some simple additions are included throughout the interior like the mat carbon details.

We sincerely hope to see more from the Prototyp Production because this is a promising start of their automotive career.

Kaege Reinterprets the Porsche Macan S [VIDEO]

Kaege is a tuning company, which is obviously keen on German-made models popular for their sports capabilities. Therefore, a diesel Porsche Macan S fell under the expertise of the tuners. The first to modify was not the exterior nor the interior, but the engine. The diesel unit of nearly three liters of size received power upgrades and now can show-off with 310 hp (228 kW) and 700 Nm (517 lb-ft) of maximum torque.

Next on their mind was the exhaust system, which received an active sound system. The result is an extreme sound of a V8 engine, which can be manually adjusted via cruise control lever. No less than a lowering module was then needed to complement the new sporting characteristics of the Macan. This was made possible via a DLC variant of KW with App control, which can be managed via on-board adapter jack.

What is more, even SUV’s serial steel springs and electric shock absorbers can be lowered with the help of KW coilovers. Kaege can also supply the Macan with KW street comfort chassis and KW electronic shock absorber adjustment.

At last, the tuners took care for the exterior, which received exquisite CH-R II BBS wheels fitted with Michelin-Pilot sports tires. As they call it, a “little optics packet” was then added and it comprises of front and rear shock absorbers. In the end, painted red brake calipers are what rounds out the enhancement package for this Macan.

Porsche 911 Turbo S Gets MCCHIP-DKR Three-Stage Treatment

MCCHIP-DKR is releasing its first project for the year. Better later than never, isn’t it? In particular, it is a three-stage program developed for the Porsche 911 Turbo S. So, obviously, the tuner was not satisfied with the characteristics of this car, especially with those regarding performance and it made this extensive program to give the 911 more horses. On one hand this is a great idea, but on the other … well, there is nothing I can thing of, so it is definitely a great idea.

First, we must start with car’s standard output, which is 560 HP (412 kW) and 700 Nm (517 lb-ft) of maximum torque. The original maximum power stands at 318 km/h (197 mph). Next, we have to mention some additional upgrades before discussing the three stage program. This Porsche has new KW coilovers and a special wrapping delivered by Breitung-Design.

Basically the first stage began with a software optimization only. The result is 600 HP (441 kW), 820 Nm (605 lb-ft) of maximum torque and V-max of 321 kmph (199 mph). Next, the stage two wasn’t achieved by the same means only, but there is also an additional Capristo sports exhaust system. The effect is 20 HP over the Stage 1, same torque and a very minimal increase of the maximum speed with only 1 kmph.

The top optimization of the 911 Turbo S is based on the previous two but adds professionally upgraded turbo charger. The end effect does not need a comment since it is 660 HP (485 kW), 850 Nm (627 lb-ft) and 328 kmph (203 mph) of maximum speed.

Mystery Solved: Porsche Revealed the 911 GT3 RS in Geneva [VIDEO]

Remember when we told you about a mysterious Porsche model which is going to debut in Geneva? Well, the mystery is solved, since we have already at hand the911 GT3 RS car. The company itself announced this car as the “definitive track car for everyday use” and forgot to mention that you should be a millionaire or very wealthy to afford this. The price exceeds 200K of US dollars.

Drive system, aerodynamics and design were optimized and the proof of this is the lap time around the 14 mile Nürburgring Nordschleife of 7 min 20 seconds. The reason for this breathtaking performance is the 4.0-litre six-cylinder engine which produces 500 hp (368 kW) and 460 Nm of torque. The power is transmitted onto the road via the very special PDK transmission.

And if you wonder about the acceleration time: the street legal model can sprint from 0 to 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.3 seconds and to 124 mph (200 km/h) in 10.9 seconds.

There is a total of 10 kg saved from the weight of the model and this is due to the implementation of magnesium for the roof and carbon fibre for the engine and luggage compartment lids. Combined with RS-specific aerodynamic components like the front spoiler lip and the large rear wing, it is no surprise that this Porsche is so powerful.

Other standard features that will delight the lucky owners are the bi-Xenon headlights, sports exhaust and dynamic engine mounts. There is a choice of 20- or 21-inch forged alloys that are complemented by the PASM and PTV, or Porsche Active Suspension Management and Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus, respectively.

Alcantara interior was fitted for the sake of luxury, but what makes more impression are the sports seats that are based on the carbonfibre ‘bucket’ seats of the 918 Spyder. Club Sport Package comes as a standard in contrast to the Sport Chrono Package. While the first adds a roll cage, the second will optionally include several technology tweaks.

Porsche 911 GT3 RS is currently available to order with first cars arriving in showrooms in May.

Techart Releases new Tuning Kit for Porsche 911 GTS Models

Techart’s new program for Porsche 911 Carrera GTS and 911 Carrera 4 GTS offers individualization options that can literally match any taste. Enhanced aerodynamic styling, driving performance, wheels and bespoke interiors are all key characteristics of the refined Porsches. There is also good news for those who will be visiting the auto saloon in Geneva, because the

The individualized exterior of the 911 GTS is all about styling and aerodynamics. Although there is subtle difference to the standard models, it is quite distinctive. Take a look at the new front spoiler which upgrades the original front apron of the car.

It also creates extra dynamics by visually lowering the body and reducing the aerodynamic lift at the front axle. Next, there is the elegant roof spoiler, the prominent rear spoiler and sharp profiled side skirts.

In terms of driving dynamics, Techart created performance equipment and wheels that add to the credentials of the car. The new sport exhaust systems add a sporty highlight to the rear of the 911 Carrera GTS. In addition, it also provides a racier soundscape at all speeds.

As a matter of fact, there are two different exhaust systems. Both are dynamically valve-controlled to adjust the sound according to the driving style. Besides the sport exhaust system with two twin tailpipes on each side, the second system has a motorsport-like appearance, meaning that it comes with two central tailpipes and an extraordinary audible presence.

The driving dynamics of the Porsche were further enhanced vie the new sport springs bring the 911 GTS body closer to the track. Furthermore, the electro-hydraulic TECHART Noselift system provides 45 mm of additional ground clearance at the push of a button by lifting the vehicle’s body at the front axle. This feature is perfect to overrun obstacles like garage ramps.

The huge amount of power of the Porsche is transmitted onto the road via forged Techart Formula IV Race center lock wheel. They have five twin-spokes wheel design and come in 20-inch size and standard bicolor finish in titanium grey with a gloss-turned front surface.

Inside, the tuners have also prepared some tweaks for the 911 GTS models. Take for example the individualized door entry guards or the multi-function sport steering wheels with paddle shifters. Of course, we can’t miss the aluminium-made sport pedals, contrasted decorative stitching, color-coordinated instrument dials, and a coupe wrapped in select leather. Nice work Techart!

Borgward Returns and Is going to Compete with Brands Like Porsche [VIDEO]

After 50 years, the German brand Borgward is returning. It might not be as famous as BMW, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz and other German automakers but this brand produced some really spectacular models in the past. Established in 1919 by Carl F.W. Borgward, the company went bankrupt in 1961. The return of this forgotten automotive king will be marked by the release of something new during the 2015 Geneva Motor Show which is going to take place the beginning of March.

It is still unclear though what exactly Borgward has in store but expectations are growing. Releasing just a teaser video for now, the automaker shows a sports coupe in profile which kind of looks like it has inherited the spirit of the 50’s.

As mentioned before, the not – so – popular manufacturer now was writing an automotive history back in the day. The styles of the cars produced between 1919 and 1961 was considered to be ground – breaking and innovative. The progressive design incorporated class, specific presence and sophistication which labelled every vehicle as something marvellous. “As one of Germany’s largest and most successful car manufacturers of its time, Borgward created some of the most iconic cars of the early 20th century as well as a large range of commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, fire engines, boats, electric cars, sports cars and even helicopters.”

Perhaps the most notable model introduced by this German company was Borgward Isabella. The released clip offers a glimpce of the car as well as few more vehicles and some vintage racing images. But what do you think? Do Borgward cars stand a chance now?

Adidas and Porsche 911: An Unexpected Combination

Athleticism is measured in many different ways but Adidas seems to know how to dig its path to the best possible methods. The shoe company uses Porsche 911 as a platform which is able to commercialize and advertise their new UNCAGED adizero 5-Star 40 Football cleats. So the sporty 911 turns into a perfect base for a subtle marketing trick which promotes not just the car but a pair of shoes as well.

In order to match the athletic spirit of the Super Bowl event, Adidas is promising to provide three customized Porsche 911s to the NFL Scouting Combine runners who will achieve the best results. There is one condition only. They should wear the new UNCAGED adizero 5-Star 40 Football cleats. Just to clarify, the 2015 NFL Scouting Combine is a showcase which lasts for one week where prospective football players will go through a range of physical and mental tests before NFL coaches, general managers and scouts.

The three Porsche cars receive a uniquely designed bodylook which matches that of the shoes in question. The cheetah graphics which covers the entire back of the Porsche 911 Carrera is definitely like nothing else seen before. But it is kind of weird – looking paintwork really not only on the car but on the cleats too. Undoubtedly the winners will appreciate their prizes but I won’t be surprised if they decide to remove the graphics from the cars and make their Porsches look more… normal and less as vehicles that transport animals to the local zoo.
