Doing our usual internet surfing, we came across a very interesting little project by Renntech. Known for overhauling the insides and outsides of Mercedes models, the Florida-based tuning house took a walk on the wild side by turning their attention to the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet. Together, Renntech and newly minted partner, Akrapovic, have brought out the beast in this Porsche with a spectacular engine upgrade. Renntech began by providing an ECU modification for the 911 Turbo Carbio, and then Akrapovic took over by adding a new sports exhaust system. These additions got the the standard 500hp up to a much faster 600hp and 660Nm of torque. Nothing was said as to how this boost improved the Porsche’s performance numbers, but we can only imagine that a 100hp jump makes a big difference. Check out the video after the jump to see and hear the new power in action. From the angles provided, we can’t really tell if any extensive exterior modifications were made, but we wouldn’t be surprised if the usual bumper, wing, and wheel upgrades were done as well. 19 comments: Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet by Renntech/Akrapovic Renntech/Akrapovic is an expert I would say when it comes to modification! And I’m sure that the new sports exhaust system that will be offered by the 911, would definitely increase the performance of the engine.
Yay! The ugliness of this car is very persuasive. I really don’t mind about the color! This is the worst looking car that I have seen.
Yes I know I’m nitpicking, but I love the English language and believe that professional writers should excel at their craft. That means getting the basics right. Check your facts, check your spelling and hire a good proofreader.
This is a nicely written article. I like the reference to the driver getting "an eyeful of nothing". But these typos and grammatical errors make it harder to enjoy.
Wow, nice new angles from Porche 911. And amazing power as always from Porsche. If you want to speed up to 60 mph in just a couple of seconds, this
is a new Porsche car to consider.
Although the naturally aspirated 911 gets a revised platform with new styling for 2005, the ’05 Turbo soldiers on with the existing platform.

well the first step was to install a custom exhaust that was delivered by Akrapovic, with the move being followed by the introduction of a Renntech proprietary ECU software.
