TECHART is a company known for its fantastic work on Porsche models. Now it is releasing a special Air Suspension “Sport” module for the Macan and Cayenne models. When equipped with it the vehicle will benefit of sportier driving dynamics, enhance athletic looks and greater comfortability. The module has the capability of lowering the vehicles up to 22 mm, depending on the model.
To go into details, the exclusive feature is an added function which has been praised since it was revealed on company’s plug-in systems for previous Porsche models with air suspension. There are several modes of adjustment, that offer more direct and agile ride height levels.
The Macan can be lowered by 10mm in Normal Level, while the Sport Plus mode and the Low Level bring the vehicle closer to the ground with 20 mm. The Terrain Level is that one which has been kept the same as the standard level.
What is more, there is even a Loading level that allows for easier loading of the luggage compartment. In this mode, the rear end of the Macan can be lowered even more in order to achieve the added comfort.
The height of the chassis of the Cayenne, when equipped with this feature, can be reduced by 22 mm in Normal Level and by 10 mm in Low Level.
At last, the specialists have developed the unique Automatic Parking Level feature for both Porsche models. How does it work? After locking the vehicle, the body is automatically lowered by another 30 mm or 20 mm, in case of the Macan and Cayenne, respectively. As a result, both get a one-off appearance, which distinguishes them from the standard series models.
TECHART presents the all-new Aerodynamic Kit I for the Porsche Cayenne. For an individual touch, that lends the sporty SUV an elegant new look – with TECHART’s typical and unmistakable design. The second level of individualization for the Porsche Cayenne in addition to the TECHART MAGNUM will be unveiled to the public in Frankfurt in combination with a second TECHART performance kit.
TECHART Aerodynamic Kit I
Exciting, sporty and markedly elegant – the contour of the three-piece front spoiler is a clear statement regarding the SUV’s newly acquired TECHART gene and sets an attractive visual highlight. Integrated air ducts also ensure an optimized cooling of the brake system. The multifunctional daytime running light system, the TECHART lighting packages with LED technology or halogen headlights are available as an option for the Porsche Cayenne Turbo.
The TECHART daytime running light system does not only serve as a sophisticated design feature. Like TECHART’s lighting packages, it also makes a significant contribution to improving road safety. The LED system unit combines daytime running light, side lighting, parking lighting and turn signal lights in one common housing and blends in perfectly with the design of the Cayenne’s front end. The luminous intensity of the lights automatically adapts depending on the day light setting selected. In addition to that, the daytime running lights are dimmed when the vehicle is turning to ensure that the turn signals stand out. Typical for TECHART – the system is ECE approved and fulfills all prerequisites of the ECE regulation R87 for daytime running lights.
TECHART Porsche Cayenne Aerodynamic Kit
Fitting side skirt panels underline the elegant and sporty look of the SUV when viewed from the side. TECHART original equipment quality: only high-quality polyurethane RIM is used for all exterior components of the aerodynamic kit. The material ensures at the same time ease of painting, installation and maintenance, including trouble-free installation at every Porsche center and every authorized service center.
The elegant design of the aerodynamic kit can also be recognized here when viewing the rear end of the vehicle. Visually and technically, the TECHART roof spoiler and the TECHART rear apron with integrated diffuser and two subtle reflectors on the sides of the tailgate underline the SUV’s driving dynamics. Discrete design highlight: the two pieces of trim lend the taillights of the Porsche Cayenne a dynamic look. Matched trimming and exterior styling packages in paint or carbon fibre allow for almost unlimited possibilities to realize personal style.
The aerodynamic kit is not only impressive visually. Thanks to TECHART’s sport exhaust system with EC type approval, the Cayenne complements its sporty look with an impressive sound. TECHART’s dual tail pipes with embossed lettering complete the TECHART look of the Cayenne’s rear end.
Furthermore there are Formula and Formula II light alloy wheels in dimensions of 20- to 23-inch or 22- and 23-inch as well as Formula III forged light alloy wheels in 21- and 22-inch available. Besides the attractive standard colours, individualized colour combinations are available to suit the taste of the customer.
Performance Kits for Cayenne Diesel and Cayenne Turbo
There are altogether three performance kits delivering a significant improvement of driving dynamics and acceleration of the Porsche Cayenne models. For instance, the TA 058/D1 performance kit provides the Cayenne Diesel with an additional 29 kW (40 hp) and 70 Nm torque, helping the SUV to accelerate to 100 km/h from standstill in 7.2 seconds and reach 160 km/h in just 18.9 seconds. The TA 058/T1 performance kit for the Turbo version of the Porsche Cayenne is also impressive. 412 kW (560 hp), a maximum torque of 780 Nm and accelerating to 100 km/h or 160 km/h in 4.4 and 9.9 seconds respectively are the results of the first level of customization. The heart of both kits is the intelligent TECHART engine management system called TECHTRONIC. Once installed, the engine control system provides just as much additional power as needed for every driving situation at the push of the standard sport button located in the center console. Up to full boost for maximum acceleration.
Successful double pass – thanks to the intelligent networking and communication between the engine management system and TECHTRONIC, the performance kits are impressive due to optimized output values in all areas and a balanced torque in terms of performance. The standard engine electronics remain untouched without affecting vehicle diagnostics or servicing. In addition to the two-year warranty, TECHART offers a warranty for engine and transmission problems in accordance with TECHART’s warranty provisions.
World Premiere – TECHART performance kit TA 058/T2
During the IAA, TECHART will also present the world premiere of the TA 058/T2 performance kit for the Porsche Cayenne Turbo. The demand of TECHART customers for dynamic performance and driving pleasure is satisfied with a total output of over 440 kW (600 hp) and a maximum torque of more than 900 Nm.

TECHART upholsterers and master upholsterers fulfill every request with regard to interior appointments at highest level of craftsmanship – for an elegant and unique atmosphere and highest demands on comfort and individuality. Another highlight: the wide variety of entertainment options for the Cayenne such as TECHART’s W2 entertainment package with two screens integrated in the headrests of the front seats.

Officially premiered at the Geneva Motor Show 2010, which took place two months ago, the next-gen Porsche Cayenne is now ready for its first styling transformation from TECHART, the famous German-based aftermarket expert. (more…)
TECHART Automobildesign really set the sparks flying at this year`s trial of strength at the High Speed Event in Nardo/Italy. Test driver Sandro Reuter reached a top speed of 321,2 km/h, respectively 200 mph, with the TECHART refined Porsche Cayenne Turbo. TECHART thus secured a new speed record for Fullsize-SUVs. The circular 12.4 kilometer track is still considered to be the world´s fastest motor racing circuit, even ahead of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the United States.
The winner car, refined with the TECHART equipment, is based on a Porsche Cayenne Turbo with Turbo S technology. The installed TA 055/2.2 performance kit takes the engine up to 680 hp, an increase of 130 hp compared with the standard production model. The Aerodynamics Kit I, together with the “Sport” air suspension module, additionally delivered the necessary performance on the circuit.
But thought was also given to TECHART´s usual external upgrades on the vehicle. The TECHART daytime running lights, sports steering wheel, carbon kit, aluminium pedals, decorative stitching and seat belts in gray, additional leather in Luxury Black and illuminated door entry guards with the TECHART logo made the car to a highlight in the pit lane.
Along with the driver`s skills, this success was primarily driven by the perfect, systematic adjustment of the wheels and the suspension. For the record run at moderate temperatures the TECHART Team chose Continental Cross Contact UHP high-performance tires on 22-inch TECHART Formula rims, which were exposed to specific loading as a result of the one-sided cornering on the circuit. Longstanding TECHART test driver Sandro Reuter said with great satisfaction: “The SUV was ideally prepared for the event. Both the engine and the tires showed a high level of performance and consistency.”
