TechArt has finally dropped out its new GTstreet Cabriolet model based on the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet. For those who don’t know the ”standard” 911 Turbo delivers 480 hp but with the help of the new sports air filters, carbon sports exhaust sustem, high performance intercooler, new turbocharger, stainless steel exhaust manifold, and the Motronic fuel management system the vehicle is capable to deliver now an astonishing 630 hp. With the new amount of power, the car can hit 100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds while the top speed is limited to 345 km/h due to the safety measures.

The body kit of the car consists in a front apron with carbon fiber splitter, carbon fenders , rear apron with integrated carbon air diffuser and black chrome exhaust pipes. In order to provide better stability the tuner added a new suspension system which can be individually adjusted, capable to lower the vehicle with up to 25 mm when a button is pressed. The tuning company also added its stylish TechArt Formula III 20 inch wheels fitted with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup Plus tyres. For those folks who want to by one of these beauties, the pricing starts at €255,000.
After unveiling the facelifted version of the 911 line-up, Porsche has started to work at the next generation Porsche 911, and here’s the first photos taken at a mule around the Nurburgring.
Even if the mule is wearing a 997 body work there are a few details showing we are actually looking at the next 998: the addition of blistered wheel arches hinting at a widened track and a makeshift wing providing additional downforce. Also the quad exhaust tips pulled from the Carrera S aren’t fitted as flush as the 997 model.
After unveiling the 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 last month, Porsche is now working on a facelift version of the Porsche 911 Turbo convertible, which launches next year.
Like the recently launched version, the Turbo Convertible will also feature a direct injection engine and the Porsche’s ’PDK dual-clutch gearbox.
The power will increase with 20-30 hp, meaning it will go beyond 500bhp. Also direct injection also means that the Turbo will be around 15 percent more economical than before.
If you wake up day after day only to find your bank balance replenished by a few million dollars, chances are at some point, you won’t know what to do with it. Take this Porsche 911 owner for example. He couldn’t find ways to get rid of the fast-accumulating green paper and did this to himself.- A 40- pound pure gold covered Porsche 911.
We find the idea annoying but appreciate the work that has gone into it. The carvings and designs on the surface are brilliant and would have taken weeks to complete by an extremely set of talented and skilled individuals. The polished surface looks nice and should have masked the rear-view mirrors entirely, eliminating the need for a reflective glass and related electronics for adjustments, but maybe next time?!
Driving a Porsche 911 on the streets would grab enough attention leave alone a gold-covered one. Is the Sultan of Brunei reading this?

The new 2009 Porsche 911 went on sale today in Germany. Prices are as follows: €83,032 for the Carrera. The Carrera Cabriolet and Carrera S both cost €93,980 and the price of the Carrera S Cabriolet is €104,928 (all prices include VAT at 19 percent).
The newly developed 3.6 and 3.8 liter flat six cylinder engines provide a very dynamic drive for the two coupés and cabriolets with classic rear wheel drive. The use of direct fuel injection for the first time ever and the PDK, available as an option, make the 911 even sportier than ever.
At the same time, these technologies give a lasting improvement to the already exemplary efficiency of the 911 models. This means that the Carrera Coupé with PDK and 345 bhp achieves fuel consumption of 9.8 litres per 100 kilometers, while the CO2 emissions are reduced by up to 15 percent. The 911 Carrera S Coupé now produces 385 bhp from its new 3.8 litre engine with a maximum speed of just under 300 km/h.
