The standard Porsche 911 Turbo’s 353 kW 3,6-litre bi-turbocharged flat six is by no means a slouch, but where there’s power, there’s always space for even more power. Or at least that’s what Porsche tuning specialist Sportec believes. The Swiss based tuner revealed a new version of its 911 Turbo based SPR1 that lifts the 3,6-litre flat six’s output to a staggering 631 kW at 8 200 rpm and 870 N.m of peak torque at 4 800 rpm. Power is transferred to all four wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox.

Weighing in at 1 345 kg, the power-to-weight ratio is 468 kW per ton. According to Sportec, the SPR1 takes a mere 3 seconds to hit 100 km/h, with 300 km/h arriving in just 18.9 seconds. The Swiss firm said that the supercar has recorded a top speed in excess of 380 km/h at Nardo, Italy.

Other highlights of the SPR1 include titanium connecting rods, a flat carbon fibre under floor, active suspension and F1 style ceramic brake discs plus composite (carbon/Kevlar) body panels, 20-inch forged alloy wheels, an integrated safety cage and a leather/alcantara interior.

Where will the madness end?! We say bring it on.
