Porsche 911 Turbo S is more powerful than ever

Porsche 911 (992) Turbo S is one of the most powerful models of the Stuttgart company, but also one of the fastest production cars in the world. However, the G-Power company believes that this car can do much more, so they have prepared a special equipment kit that makes the car more aggressive.

First of all, G-Power engineers did what they know best, increased the power of the engine. Now the 3.7L twin-turbo flat-six engine delivers 800 hp (588 kW) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm) of torque, which is more than enough to push this powerful car to 62 mph in just 2.3 seconds, 124 mph (200 km/h) in 5 seconds. In order to withstand the increase in power, the German tuner equipped the 911 Turbo S with a new GP radiator, carbon fiber rear wing, improved exhaust system, carbon fiber hood. Buyers will be able to choose between 21- and 22-inch GP Orange Hurricane RR and Hurricane RS lightweight aluminum wheels wrapped in 255/39 (front) and 335/25 (rear) tires.

Inside, the comfortable seats are upholstered in black leather with contrasting green stitching. The same combination can be seen on the door panels, steering wheel and dashboard.

The standard Porsche 911 Turbo S is powered by a 3.7-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine with 650 hp (478 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via an eight-speed dual-clutch automatic PDK transmission. It reaches 62 mph in 2.7 seconds with a top speed of 205 mph (330 km/h).

MH3 GTR is an upgraded BMW M3

Last year, BMW presented a new generation of the M3 model, which is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder engine with 473 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque in the basic version and those who want more power, can choose a more powerful version with 503 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque. However, the German tuner Manhart decided to produce a unique copy of this model called the MH3 GTR.

Let’s begin. This car is one of a kind, single copy. It is equipped with a carbon diffuser, spoiler lip and side aero flics at the front, side skirts, rear spoiler, four 100 millimeter tailpipe trims (optionally carbon or ceramic-coated), stainless steel exhaust system with valve control, 200-cell HJS catalytic converters, sport downpipes with 300-cell GESI catalytic converters, upgraded suspension. The customer can choose a Manhart Variant 4 setup coilover suspension or a lowering kit with H&R springs. The body is decorated with gray-blue color with silver-grey trim strips and lettering.

Inside, the standard seats have been replaced by two superlight Podium full Recaro carbon bucket seats with the Manhart logo on the headrest. The rest of the interior has not been changed.

When it comes to the powertrain, Manhart kept the 3.0-liter twin-turbo six-cylinder engine that now, thanks to the MHtronik control unit, delivers 650 hp (478 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. It is mounted on a set of satin black 20 inch Concave One rims wrapped in 265/30R20 (front) and 295/30R20 (rear) Michelin tires.

Porsche 993R

Among the many companies involved in the restoration and modification of the most famous cars, Paul Stephens Autoart is perhaps one of the best. Their latest work is the Porsche 993R based on the 911 Carrera (993).

The restoration of the car took five years. The weight of the car has been reduced and the number of horsepower has been increased, and the result is a great car. Now the 993R weighs 1,190 kilograms (1,220 kg wet), which is 180 kilograms less than the original Porsche 993 Carrera. This was achieved by installing lightweight aluminum parts, but also by removing the electric sunroof, installing lightweight manual electric mirrors, installing Porsche Motorsport glass for side and rear windows, bumpers were replaced with lightweight PS Autoart composite items. The original suspension was replaced with custom Porsche Motorsport parts.

Inside, most of the interior has been removed. Now the minimalist interior contains carbon fiber Recaro bucket seats trimmed in the finest materials, a sports steering wheel, a new dashboard without a glovebox, audio and center console.

The 993R is powered by a 3.8-liter flat-six engine with 360 hp (265 kW). As a reminder, the Standard 911 Carrera is powered by a 3.6-liter engine with 270 hp (199 kW). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a refined manual 6-speed gearbox with lightweight flywheel and clutch. Performance is not known but it will certainly be better than what the 911 Carrera offers, up to 62 mph in 5.6 seconds with a top speed of 168 mph (270 km/h). It’s mounted on a set of 18-inch rims wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport tires.
