There’s fast and then there’s TechArt fast. The German aftermarket company that has made a name for itself in the crowded world of Porsche tuners has presented a new and more potent performance package for the current 911 (997) Turbo.
The TA 097/T3 conversion kit for the 997 Turbo involves the installation of a sport air filter, new manifolds, TechArt turbo chargers, high performance intercoolers, as well as the an ECU upgrade and engine styling package in carbon-fibre.
In factory trim, the 911 Turbo’s force-fed 3.8-litre flat-six lays down 368 kW and 650 Nm of peak torque, and this package will bump that up to 515 kW and 880 Nm. As a result, the TechArt-prepped Porsche completes the classic sprint from zero to 100 km/h in a mere 2.8 seconds and breaks the 200 km/h barrier in 9.0 seconds. Top speed is rated at 352 km/h.
