For most automotive enthusiasts, the Porsche Cayenne Turbo S is almost too much sports truck as it comes from the factory. However in this crazy world of winged warriors and blown behemoths there is no such thing as enough, so the Porsche tuning experts at TechArt are offering a new performance package that significantly improves the SUV’s abilities.
On the outside, the Höfingen based tuners have added a bold new front bumper apron complete with larger air intakes and a combination of LED and large lower driving lights, a new vented hood, wider arches that house anywhere from 21 inch to 23 inch wheels, new rear bumper with integrated air diffuser and cutouts for the TechArt tuned exhaust and and a rear roof spoiler that all work together to turn the Cayenne Turbo S into a truly mean machine.
Thanks to an revised engine computer program, high flow air filter, modified turbochargers and tuned manifolds, TechArt has boosted the Cayenne’s output up to 680 HP and 664 lb-ft of torque up from the standard car’s 550 HP rating. The result is a 0 to 60 MPH time of 4.2 seconds for the 5000 pound machine that can also reach 125 MPH from a standstill in just 14.5 seconds on its way to reaching a top speed of 191 MPH. If you were a bit intimidated by the Turbo S before, the TechArt tuned Cayenne should scare the pants off of you.

The German tuning specialists Techart have just relased a new lineup of high performance modifications for the Porsche Boxster and Cayman models. The aero is available in two flavors, somewhat conservative with only a front lip and a rear wing, or all out including a wide body conversion that includes the LED driving lights, sculpted side skirts, sleeker side mirrors and the Techart Vario or VarioPlus threaded chassis high performance suspenion. Techart is offering a racing exhaust system for the flat six powered Porsches that can be finished off with either a glossy or black chrome finish. The aftermarket manufacturer then utilizes their signature Formula wheel to beef up the diminutive Porsches.
The upgrades don’t stop with the exterior, the interior receives a few upgrades like a sport chronometer, TECHART 3 spoke sport steering wheel, new trim on the doors and carbon/stainless steel doorsills with illuminated logos. The sport buckets are wrapped in soft leather and dressed up with decorative stitching in the owner’s choice of colors as well as a trio of aluminum sport pedals and a healthy helping of carbon fiber. So now no matter which Porsche you drive Techart CEO Thomas Behringer has a tuning program for you.

The fellows from GT Spirit recently traveled to Germany and while on their visit to the high end Porsche tuner TechArt’s facility in Leonberg, they ran into to aftermarket manufacture’s CEO Thomas Behringer. He founded the company back in 1987 with the “philosophy of creating cars which blend artistic perfection with technologically advanced features,” and when asked about why he chose this particular maker Behringer replied: “I really want to stay close to the Porsche heritage, because of its unique character.”
A tuner of this stature and experience has truly seen it all, when asked Berhinger replied: “The craziest request we ever got was a Porsche GT3 we fitted with a Louis Vuitton interior. The main problem was getting the interior fabrics from LV. It became an impossible task. We told the customer and together we came up with a plan. The owner of the car went to a Louis Vutton shop, bought every bag inside the shop and shipped these to us. Each bag was cut apart and the fabrics where used inside the car for head lining, doors, steering wheel, dashboard, seats and center console.”
Now TechArt isn’t a company who made a name for themselves on flashy body kits and Altezza style taillights, the CEO insists that they “do everything ourselves and think that individuality is key in the way you develop, produce and sell products. We only develop items that are of any use within the car’s setup. It should always be functional, a reason why Berhinger’s ride of choice is the TechArt GTstreet R Cabriolet. “It is the best example of our lifestyle creating cars positioned above a standard Porsche mixed with TechArt individuality.”
After first announcing their tuning kit for the diesel powered Porsche Cayenne at the Geneva Motor Show, the German tuners at TECHART have just revealed the latest details about their new ride.
The high performance tuners started their work under the hood. The 3.0 Liter turbo diesel power plant now delivers 290 HP and 465 lb-ft of torque. The alternatively fueled luxury vehicle can sprint from 0 to 60 MPH in 7.7 seconds while still getting 25.3 MPG from the two ton performance vehicle.
The customization program also includes a reworked suspension complimented by a set of 21 inch alloy wheels wrapped in Michelin Diamaris 4X4 XL, SUV specific rubber sized 295/35 R21. The front end receives a new front bumper with a deeper front spoiler and integrated running lights, lower side skirts and a new rear apron with integrated diffuser. Some simple head and taillight masks also accentuate the Cayenne’s sporty character. Finally, spent gasses exit through a pair of oval exhaust tips framed nicely by the TECHART rear valence.
The interior of the Cayenne is upgraded with trim upgrades that include light weight aluminum pedals and dead pedal as well as leather trimmed luxury logo floor mats. However the nicest touch comes from the three spoke TECHART sports steering wheel with Porsche airbag inside. The kit from TECHART can be all yours for only $24,200. That is not including the $4,000 engine kit or the Cayenne to put everything on, either way if you want a high quality high performance Porsche, you can’t go wrong with TECHART.

Owners of modified vehicles and sports cars know that a deep front lip not only looks good but will aid an automobile’s aerodynamics at speed. However these low hanging front bumpers can be a nuisance around 5 MPH, while parking or driving onto steep ramps. German tuners TECHART have a solution that uses a hydraulic unit to raise the front end raises the front of the 911 by 60 mm with the touch of a button.

One of the biggest problems with the aesthetics of factory wheels is that more often than not, they don’t show off the vehicles brakes. The Porsche tuners at TECHART have a solution for this problem. They have just released their classic TECHART Formula rim in 21 inch and 23 inch diameters. The long and slender spokes do a great job of filling the wheel arches while at the same time showcasing the cars calipers. While the two-piece Formula II wheels eliminate having to drive around with curbed rims ever again.

TECHART’s latest creation for Geneva, is a showcase for all the tuners have to offer. The Magnum is based on a Cayenne Turbo S and benefits from a massaged exterior and a refined interior. The wide sculpted arches house enough rubber to get the 680 horses to the ground and allow the Porsche to sprint to 60 MPH in only 4.2 seconds before reaching a top speed of 193 MPH.

The odds are that Porsche will be showing off their new Cayenne Diesel in Geneva, but they won’t be the only ones. TECHART is taking the opportunity to release their own take on the Porsche by upgrading it with their own aero and wheel package. The diesel Audi V6 found in the Porsche produces 240 HP from the factory; expect to see closer to 300 HP from TECHART.
