2012 TECHART Porsche 911 Carrera S

Following the release at the 82nd Geneva Auto Salon in March, the Germans at TechArt invited us to experience their latest program at first hand. The brand new and first program linked to the seventh generation Porsche 911 made its official debut at the Swiss car show and we had a closer look at it near TechArt’s headquarter in Leonberg, Germany. The program is the first step in the release of numerous upgrades for the Porsche 991 model series and features mostly exterior and interior refinements.<br />The newly developed TechArt exterior design for the Carrera and Carrera S models is immediately noticeable because of its yellow paint job. The 991 Carrera S also received a contrasting interior, which combines the exterior yellow color with the black interior. Underneath, all the changes, TechArt choose the Porsche 911 Carrera S with automatic PDK-transmission and Sport Chrono package as their basis for the press car. The 911 Carrera S with PDK manages to accelerate from naught to 100km/h in 4.3 seconds. Pressing the Sport Plus button on the optional Sport Chrono package cuts that to 4.1 seconds. The top speed is 304km/h.<br />The Germans have not developed any technical parts of the car yet. The performance of the 3.8 liter flat-six engine still produces 400hp at 7,400rpm, and 325lb-ft of maximum torque at 5,600rpm. TechArt also skipped their carbon fiber engine design kit used on the previous 911 series. The engine is hardly visible when you open the engine hood at the back. So there was no need to develop any special parts or inner change any of the existing covers. Craftsmanship in the interior
