Release) TECHART program for Porsche 997 - As a matter of
principle
Leonberg, September 2009 – With unmistakable styling, TECHART is
presenting its tuning suite for the latest Porsche 911 Carrera 4S at
the IAA International Motor Show. This customized Porsche combines
perfect styling, sportiness and dynamism and embodies once again the
basic principle of all TECHART products: OEM quality – Made in
Germany. TECHART underpins this quality with its striking exterior
design, enhanced aerodynamics and performance characteristics in
addition to a stylish and exclusive interior.
Aerodynamics and design
The TÜV-certified
Aerokit I is the successful outcome of intensive development work in
the wind tunnel. At the same time, the PUR-RIM components fitted
increase the downforce on the axles and also improve the driving
stability. The front spoiler I underscores the dynamism of the 911
Carrera 4S and, by optimizing the air flow, helps to ensure
effective cooling of the braking system. At the same time, side
skirts emphasize the powerful contours. Depending on requirements, a
roof spoiler and three versions of rear wings permit precision
aerodynamic tuning on the rear axle. By way of example, back
pressure air vents have been integrated into the variable rear wing
IV along with an additionally adjustable spoiler lip (gurney flap).
The dynamic character is also emphasized by decorative trims for the
exterior mirrors – made from carbon fiber painted in the requested
color, decorative headlamp surrounds, a low swung rear diffuser plus
the new sports exhaust systems.
New TECHART flap-controlled
exhaust system
For the Porsche, TECHART
has developed two versions of a new exhaust system. The “Sport”
version, for instance, features two rear mufflers with an exhaust
flap, an exhaust flap control unit in addition to double-oval
tailpipes in a polished or black chromium finish. The “Racing”
version is also equipped with two stainless steel high-performance
headers and a sports catalyst. Drivers can choose between either a
production-vehicle-like sporty sound or a powerful racing car sound.
The “Racing” version also helps to boost the performance
significantly by 35 bhp in the upper speed range.
TECHART suspension
Firm sporty handling is
ensured by TECHART’s VARIO coilover suspension in addition to a set
of TECHART sports springs. The VARIO PLUS version is available for
vehicles with PASM. Both systems feature coilover shock absorbers
with an adjustable rebound and pressure stage plus special main and
additional springs. TECHART Formula and Formula II alloy wheels,
available as a five-spoke wheel in either a single-piece or
composite design, underscore this sportiness. For the new 911
models, a light alloy forged wheel - the TECHART Formula III forged
- is available in a twin-spoke design in a 19 and 20 inch format. By
way of an option, the TECHART nose lift system is also available for
negotiating curbsides and other ramps. At the touch of a button, it
is possible to raise the automobile by up to 60 mm – even when
driving at up to 60 km/h.
Individual in every detail - the
interior
A plethora of different
leather interiors, color-coordinated three-spoke airbag sports
steering wheels, aluminum pedals and trim strips are just a few of
the interior options available. Thanks to the TECHART craftsmanship,
virtually no bounds are set when it comes to realizing a customized
design. The silver-colored accentuating details are applied, for
instance, to the dashboard and decorative door panels, to the trim
around the infotainment system, in the center console, seat
backrests and coat hooks.
