  • TECHART Magnum is Back and it’s More Beautiful and Powerful than Ever!

    TECHART Magnum Front ViewTECHART 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

    TECHART Magnum Rear View

    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.

  • Porsche Macan and Cayenne Receive TECHART Air Suspension Module

    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 Releases new Tuning Kit for Porsche 911 GTS Models

    rsche-911-GTS-1240Techart’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!

  • Techart Porsche Targa 4 in Lime Yellow [Yes or No?]

    Techart-Porsche-911-Targa-4S-THUMB2014 Porsche 911 Targa 4 model debuted at the beginning of the year at the Detroit Auto Show. And as we remember it, we get genuinely excited being a reinterpretation of a classic. Now Techart is ready to show us its take on the car through (as they say) sharpening its character. They have created an aero kit, dedicated wheels and unique interior! Starting with the aerodynamic kit, the Techart’s Targa 4 receives wide body with active taillight strip and of course a glass roof with iconic aluminium bar. The kit was made of lightweight fibre composite of carbon and polyurethane RIM, and its characteristics include high levels of load-bearing capacity and dimensional stability with a low tare weight.

    Next, it also adds two-part front spoiler I with integrated splitter drags, which serves in terms of lowering the vehicle. It is combined with new rear spoiler II wing profile and new diffuser add-on. Going further, we can’t miss the aero wings, which are integrated into the front air inlets, and create a dynamic shaft outline. They work in concert with the air outlet grille at the front apron.

    911 Targa 4 also get exclusive alloys, which are called Techart Formula IV light-alloy wheel and that come in five-twin-spoke design. They are offered in 20- and 21-inch size in various colors. The tuners also offer suspension options for the car. The sport spring kit brings the vehicle closer to the asphalt, while the noselift system generates an additional 45mm of ground clearance by lifting the vehicle level at front axle.

    Exhaust systems sport and sport muffler racing deliver the acoustic performance of the Porsche 911 Targa 4 models with a touch of a button. The valve-controlled system can be used even when closed under full load across the entire speed range.

    Inside, this Porsche gets enhanced with in-house saddlery. The illuminated aluminium door entry guards, the ergonomically shaped thee-spokes multifunctional sport steering wheel with paddle shifters and aluminium sport pedals are all there. The company ha also provided aluminium foot rest, decorative stitching, backrests for sport seats plus in leather, safety belts. There is also the option of Techart Carbon Interior Styling Packages.

  • Is Techart’s new Porsche Macan Lineup Character-Oriented?

    Techart-Porsche-Macan-Lineup-THUMBThe famous tuning company Techart, which specializes in modifying Porsche models only, claims that its latest Macan Lineup is “character-orientated”. We are about to put some questions and see whether this is likely to be so or not.  Techart’s fifth generation Macan can show-off with new aerodynamics, better engine performance, new exhaust systems, suspension and wheels as well as interior refinement. So far so good, but lets go further into details.

    First, the aerodynamics program for this Porsche model stands under the slogan “Reduction vs. concentration” and offers the typical design language of the company. Therefore, the attributes of the basic vehicle’s sporty lines are emphasized. Precisely, the aerodynamic elements include new front spoiler, side skirts, roof spoiler, rear spoiler trim and rear diffuser, which were made of high-quality PU-RIM. This material general characteristic is the low weight.

    For those who do not think that these aero-elements are enough to make the car exceptional, then Techart has created for them the in-house made Sports Package Carbon that sets sincere styling highlights. It includes duct trim at the Macan’s front, new side mirror trims as well as roof spoiler. There’s a catch though – they will only be available for all Porsche Macan in carbon fibre.

    Talking about personalization and character-orientated tuning, the customization company is offering attractive accent colour via its individual paint elements like fog light trims, air intake uprights, front wings or side blades fit seamlessly into the desired play of colours. But … is this enough?

    Of course, if there weren’t any power kits for these Porsche Macans, the answer would be probably “No”. However, Techart tuners are thoughtful and have come along with several proposals for power gains. Speaking in these terms, the 6-cylinder engines of the Porsche Macan models are enhanced via company’s power kits, based on the intelligent Techart engine management system, dubbed TECHTRONIC.

    This system elicits additional power output for the petrol and diesel engines and generates approximately 50 hp (37 kW) and 70 Nm (52 lb-ft) more power for the Macan Turbo with just one press of the Sport- or Sport Plus button. Thus the maximum output of the twin-turbo engine becomes 450 horsepower (331 kW) available at 6.200 1/min and 620 Nm (458 lb-ft) at 2.700 1/min. The acceleration time in Sport Plus is measured at 4.4 seconds for the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h, which is 0.2s faster that the standard model; from 0 to 160 km/h – in 10.6s (standard model 10.9s). The top speed increased from 266 to 271 km/h.

    This additional power has to have its audible equivalent. Here come Techart’s exhaust systems Sport for the Porsche Macan models. They are made of stainless steel, which ensure that you’re not only able to feel, but also hear the strength of the Macan. The electronically valve-controlled exhaust is controllable by the press of a button at centre console.

    As a result, the driver gets a distinctive and rich sound with a high recognition value for the V6 petrol engines. In addition, Techart’s Sport Tail Pipes in stainless steel and attractive dual oval design with embossed logotype provide the visual significance.

    Next are the suspension options that offer additional variability and sportiness. The well known Air Suspension Module Sport of the tuners has been intelligently adjusted to the vehicle levels of the Macan models. It enables ride height adjustment in driving, loading and parking condition for vehicles with standard air suspension. In the low level or driving in Sport Plus mode, the vehicle lowers by 30 mm in comparison to the normal level and remains activated during all speeds.

    The possibilities of individualization for the Porsche Macan models continue with the offering of three wheel designs, available in 21- and 22-inch as well as in various surface finishing combinations. Besides attractive color combinations, they can be customized individually to suit the vehicle in question. Brake calipers can also be customized with unique paint to match the colour combination in the wheel arch.

    At last, we have to review whether Techart interior refinement for the Macan is what will eventually round-out this character-oriented tuning. Inside we see that the exquisite new leather equipment was complemented by tuning company’s interior styling package. The latter features carbon fibre or in exotic woods elements.

    There are new ergonomically shaped 3-spokes multifunctional sport steering wheel with Techart paddle shifters, aluminium sport pedals and foot rests, floor mats, loadspace floor ma as well as illuminated door entry guards. And here is where we feel a little bit disappointed. In general this tuning offers exceptional individual customization … except for the interior. Maybe Techart has to learn something like tuners such as Vilner and A. Kahn Design? What do you think?

  • Techart Porsche Cayman Shows-Off with new Rear Spoiler II

    2014-Techart-Porsche-Cayman-THUMBTechart Porsche Cayman now can be proud of its most distinctive part: Techart’s Rear Spoiler II, which is part of the Aerodynamic Program of the tuning company for the current Cayman models. The rear spoiler emphasizes the flat outline and short overhangs of the mid-engine sports car. At the same time it takes the aesthetic and technical requirements into account equally, making the car look more spectacular than ever.

    The new addition to the aerodynamic kit determines Porsche Cayman models visually and in addition, it delivers dynamics and strength to the mid-engine sports car’s flat outline. To be more precise, the characteristic wing profile as well as the base console underneath with functional spoiler lip is made of high-quality PU-RIM material.

    In addition, filigree aluminium uprights with Techart logotype is what allows the driver to adapt the wing profile’s angle manually. This means that the effective aerodynamic surface can be adjusted regarding the driving conditions, or just by the individual preferences of the driver. When combined with tuning company’s Front Spoiler I, the Rear Spoiler II generates ideal handling behaviour.

    The latest addition in the Cayma range was the GTS specificatioin. It is powered by a 3.4 liter flat-six engine, delivering 340 horsepower (250 kW) and 380 Nm (280 lb-ft) of torque. The Cayman GTS needs just 4.6 seconds to cover the sprint from 0 to 100 km/h on its way to a top speed of 285 km/h (177 mph).

  • 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?
