TECHART Magnum is a project based on the Porsche Cayenne famous for its uniqueness. Now it is back, more powerful and looking as good as hell! Almost everything has been renewed, starting from the design to the output rating. So let’s check it out!
Magnificent Exterior
At the front of the new design of the Magnum we see firmly shaped surfaces. The side air intakes, the bumper and the front spoiler have the typical TECHART shape. The design of the front apron and the splitter optically reduce the height of the car and create an impression for wider appearance, which is further emphasized via wheel arch extensions and side skirts.
The central radiator grill merges with the side air intakes, while the “Airframes” feature in-house made daytime running lights. Regarding the Aero Engine Lid, it is made of carbon fiber and incorporates two air outlets.
The back of the Magnum is defined by side air outlets that mimic the Airframes of the front apron. In addition, the rear diffusor plays significant role in the design. TECHART sports tailpipes were integrated in the Magnum rear apron. At last, we should also mention the addition of the impressive roof spoiler. TECHART is also offering a wide variety of differently sized unique wheels and tires combinations.
More Core Features
We are talking about the Magnum bodykit. To make an important instance, the air intakes are not just a styling feature, but a functional one, too. The front apron reveals the ducts and air passages which guide the cooling air and dissipates the heat optimally. Water coolers, intercoolers, braking systemor contribute for well-balanced aerodynamics.
Powerkits and Improved Performance
There are three TECHART engine powerkits available for the Cayenne Magnum. The first one increases the horses with 35 hp (26 kW) and comes for the TA058/SD1 for Cayenne S Diesel; the second with 80 hp (59 kW) for the TA058/T1 for Cayenne Turbo; and the third with 180 hp (132 kW) for the TA058/T2 for Cayenne Turbo again.
As a matter of fact the latter powerkit increases the engine power of the Cayenne Turbo from standard 520 hp to 700 hp, while the maximum torque is increased from 750 Nm to 920 Nm. The Magnum based on the Cayenne Turbo can actually sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in only 4.1 seconds. The top track speed is 295 km/h.

Like its predecessor the new TECHART Magnum sets itself apart with a spectacular aerodynamic-enhancement package that fits all versions of the Porsche SUV. All body components are manufactured from PUR-RIM plastic in OEM quality.
The curved TECHART fender flares add eight centimeters to the width of the Cayenne. The Magnum rocker panels provide a fluent transition between the wider wheel arches.
The new aprons for front and rear that replace their production counterparts were designed to correspond visually to the more pronounced contours of the wheel arches. The TECHART Magnum front apron lends the latest Cayenne generation an even more striking appearance. Its large air inlets feature elegantly styled slats and provide ample cooling air for radiators and front brakes. A total of four auxiliary headlights and daytime running lights improve active safety.
The TECHART Magnum rear apron with integrated diffuser reduces lift on the rear axle and provides the perfect backdrop for the TECHART stainless-steel sport exhaust system with two chrome tailpipes on either side.
The body conversion can be rounded out with moldings for front and rear lights, as well as with a new hood that features two air outlets that optimize heat balance in the engine bay.
The Magnum also features custom-tailored wheels and tires. The largest possible version features TECHART Formula II light-alloy wheels in size 10.5Jx22 in front and in size 11,5Jx22 in the rear. For optimal tires TECHART chose ContiCrossContact UHP tires in sizes 295/30 ZR 22 and 335/25 ZR 22, which are approved on the Cayenne for a top speed of 300 km/h.
These tires also make the Magnum a prime candidate for the engine tuning of the Cayenne Turbo that is currently under development and in its most powerful incarnation will produce up to 620 hp / 456 kW.
The air suspension of the Cayenne Turbo is modified with the TECHART sport module that lowers the ride height for enthusiastic on-road driving by 30 millimeters. The entire range of adjustment from the lowest ride height (loading level) to the highest (special off-road level) measures some 110 millimeters.
The TECHART Magnum repertoire also includes countless interior options. The range of products starts with exclusive accessories such as an ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel and carbon-fiber applications for the cockpit, available in a number of different colors.
Requests for an even higher degree of customization can be fulfilled with exclusive TECHART fully leather interiors in any color and design imaginable.
