July 14, 2022 Francis Mitterrand

The German company TechArt has prepared a special equipment kit for the Coupé version of the most powerful Porsche 911 from the Carrera family, the Porsche 911 (992) GTS.

A special equipment kit brings a new five-piece front spoiler, two-piece Airframes that highlight the air intakes, new side skirts, a multi-part rear diffusor above which TECHART Aero Wings are located, and a roof spoiler, and for those who want more downforce in the offer is also a large rear wing. There are also plenty of carbon parts such as the hood, sport mirrors and exhaust tips. Adaptive suspension and sports springs allows the vehicle to get 40mm closer to the ground.

Inside, TechArt has allowed customers to personalize the interior. The comfortable seats are upholstered in leather, which is offered in several colors, combined with wool, while the headboard features the TechArt logo. The offer also includes illuminated carbon door sill plates, sporty aluminum pedals, handcrafted TECHART sports steering wheels. Track enthusiasts will love the six-point seat belts and safety cage behind the B-pillar.

When it comes to the powertrain, the standard Porsche 911 (992) GTS is powered by a 3.0L 6-cylinder biturbo boxer engine with 480 hp (353 kW) @ 6500 rpm and 420 lb-ft (570 Nm) of torque @ 2300 -5000 rpm. Now, thanks to improved software, the 911 GTS has 560 hp (412 kW) and 494 lb-ft (670 Nm) of torque. This makes the 911 GTS more powerful than the Porsche 911 GT3 and almost equal to the 911 Turbo. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed PDK gearbox. It reaches 62 mph in 3.1 seconds, which is 0.3 seconds faster than the standard model. It is mounted on 20- and 21-inch TECHART Formula V multi spoke wheels.

Ferrari F8 Tributo with more power

July 13, 2022 Francis Mitterrand

In 2019, Ferrari presented the F8 Tributo and with it a new V8 engine with 710 hp, which many consider one of the best engines produced in the past few decades. However, German tuner Keyvany believes that the engine can develop much more horsepower.

The sports car received carbon parts such as sills, rear diffuser, side mirror housings, spoiler and more, which increased the downforce. Of course, Keyvany did not forget to equip the car with new 21/22-inch aluminum rims.

Inside, black fabric dominates in combination with black, red and white leather. The seats are upholstered in white leather with a tricolor stripe running vertically down the middle of the seat, while the headboard features an embroidered inscription and company logo.

The Ferrari F8 Tributo is powered by a 3.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 850 hp (625 kW) and 680 lb-ft (922 Nm) of torque. The standard F8 Tributo has 710 (530 kW) and 568 lb-ft (770 N-m) of torque. To unleash the extra power of the V8 engine, the tuner remapped the ECU unit and installed a new exhaust system. Now the F8 Tributo hits 62 mph in 2.8 seconds, 0.1 second faster than the base model, with a top speed of 218 mph (351 km/h).

Ferrari Monza SP2 with 830 HP

July 13, 2022 Francis Mitterrand

The German company Mansory is known for modifying luxury cars and super cars. So recently, at the request of one owner, it presented the unique Ferrari Monza SP2. Ferrari produced only 250 of the Monza SP2, and this owner wanted his car to stand out from the rest.

In 2018, Ferrari presented two models, Monza SP1 and Monza SP2, inspired by the 750 Monza, 250 Testarossa and 166 MM models. This started the era of a new lineage of models called the “Icona” series.

Mansory equipped the car with new carbon components such as front lip, reinforced sills and a new rear diffuser. The front part is decorated with a double stripe across the bonnet, a black aerodynamic scoop on the driver’s side. Monza SP2 is painted in Rosso Corsa color, which was also used for the edges of the carbon parts. The car also got “YT.5 Air” rims, new air intake system, new exhaust system and tuned suspension components. It sits on 21- and 22-inch alloy wheels wrapped in 275/30 ZR21 (front) and 335/25 ZR22 (rear) tires.

Mansory Monza SP2 is powered by a 6.5L V12 engine that now has 830 hp (610 kW) and 546 lb-ft (740 Nm) of torque. That’s a significant increase considering the standard Monza SP2 has 810 hp (596 kW) and 530 lb-ft (719 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The base SP2 reaches 62 mph in 2.9 seconds with a top speed in excess of 186 mph (300 km/h), while the performance of the upgraded model is unknown.
