Porsche Cayenne with 930 HP

Leave a comment

The current generation Porsche Cayenne served as the basis for a new project by German tuner TechArt, called Magnum. It is a special equipment kit made of carbon fiber that takes the SUV to the next level.

The Porsche Cayenne is known for its excellent performance and good design, but the new carbon components make it even more impressive. The equipment kit includes a new front bumper with black elements and optional body-colored wings, a radiator grille, a new hood with two large air vents, wider wheel arches, new sills, and new exterior mirror housings. The Magnum is available in standard, Sport, Unique, and First Edition versions.

The Sport version offers a more aggressive diffuser with two centrally located exhaust pipes, like those of the Cayenne Turbo GT, as well as a carbon roof spoiler and a small lip spoiler. The Unique version offers more customization of the exterior and interior.

The First Edition offers the highest level of customization and uniqueness, such as individually numbered front wheel arches and a customized interior. This version is limited to just 25 units.

When it comes to the powertrain, TechArt has increased the power of the twin-turbo V8 engine to 930 hp and 1,100 Nm of torque. This is enough to accelerate the car from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.6 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 330 km/h. The car is mounted on a set of 23-inch wheels with black, silver and carbon elements.

Manhart TR 950 is a Porsche 911 GT2 RS with 966 HP

Leave a comment

The Porsche 911 GT2 RS is considered one of the best models from the 992 generation, but that didn’t stop the experts at Manhart from making it even better. This is the Manhart TR 950, with impressive performance and more power.

The 911 GT2 RS is powered by a 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine with 700 hp and 750 Nm, which is more than impressive, but now with the combination of a remapped ECU and a mapswitch with a turbo performance kit, the power goes up to 966 hp (720 kW) and 800 lb-ft (1,090 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox (PDK), upgraded with adapted software and a reinforced MANHART clutch by Dodson.

The turbo performance kit includes larger TTH turbochargers, an upgraded radiator, an aluminum MANHART IPD manifold, a new water intercooler by MANTHEY, and MANHART Downpipes Sport with 200-cell HJS catalytic converters.

The car also received add-on parts by DB Carbon made from high-quality carbon fiber composite material, which includes a front spoiler with side extensions, aero flics for increased downforce, frames for the air intakes in the front, side skirts, inserts for the air intakes in front of the rear axle and a diffuser with side extension plates. There’s also MANTHEY-KW coilover suspension, 21″ and 22″ MANHART Forged Line wheels in a classic gloss black finish wrapped in 255/30ZR21 front and 335/25ZR22 rear Continental SportContact 7 tires. Manhart also offers individual color customization on request.

Of course, Manhart has not forgotten about aesthetics, so the TR 950 is equipped with a decorative set standard for all Manhart projects with gray lettering and stripes.

Porsche is targeting a new Nurburgring record for manual cars

Leave a comment

Porsche previously announced that it will not give up the manual gearbox, and now it wants to become the king of this type of transmission. The venue will be one of the most famous tracks in the world, the Nurburgring Nordschleife, where Porsche with the 911 GT3 model will try to set the best lap time for road cars with a manual gearbox. Currently, the record is held by the Viper ACR with a time of 7:01.3.

Andreas Preuninger, director of Porsche GT development, announced the event by saying that the manual gearbox is very important for the German marque. Porsche is used to setting top times with its PDK transmission, available with seven or eight speeds, depending on the model. That’s why this venture should have been a piece of cake for the Stuttgart-based company.

Despite the fact that most manufacturers have decided to stop offering cars with a manual gearbox, not because it is more expensive than an automatic, but because some of them do not want to have two types of gearboxes on their shelves, Porsche will not do that. The Germans are more than aware that the manual transmission will be reserved only for select customers and for true sports cars like the recently updated 911 GT3, which they intend to sell in larger quantities.

If the Porsche 911 GT3 manages to set a new record, it is very clear that the Germans will show others that manual transmissions are still worth using, especially since there are very few true sports cars left in the world with this type of transmission.
