Porsche opened its fifth Porsche Charging Lounge

At the end of January, Porsche opened its fifth exclusive Porsche Charging Lounge. This charging station is located near Hamburg and the A1 motorway, making it easily accessible not only for drivers in northern Germany, but also for travelers heading to the Baltic Sea.

This charging station operates 24 hours a day and allows owners of all Porsche electric cars to use four DC fast charging stations with a capacity of up to 400 kW. While the vehicles are charging, drivers can enjoy comfortable seats with built-in speakers, as well as a wide selection of refreshing drinks and snacks, a water dispenser, modern sanitary facilities, and free Wi-Fi.

Porsche developed the modular concept of the filling station in cooperation with the F.A. studio. Porsche, and this one in Hamburg was the first to be implemented. It has a unique design that provides the ability to adjust depending on the terrain. The modules are mostly made of steel, stainless steel, wood and stone, and are manufactured by Porsche’s partner in Baden-Württemberg, using energy from renewable sources. The facility is air-conditioned using a heat pump, and part of the energy comes from the photovoltaic installation on the roof. Also, attention was paid to the optimization of energy consumption, so the lighting is automatically reduced when there are no visitors

In addition to the charging station in Hamburg, Porsche also has charging stations in Bingen am Rhein, Estenfeld near Würzburg, Koblach (Austria) and Ingolstadt. Access to the charging station and lounge area is only possible via Porsche ID, and if the license plate is linked to the Porsche ID, the barrier opens automatically using license plate recognition. Users can register via the My Porsche app, and access is also possible via the Porsche Charging Card or the QR code from the My Porsche app.

Porsche Cayenne with 930 HP

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

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.
