Porsche Ares 992 Targa

The Italian company Ares Design has done one of the best restoration and modification projects. This is another masterpiece of this company, Ares 992 Targa, based on the 2018 Porsche 991 GT3 Targa.

The car is elegant, with a lot of style and is characterized by everything that can be expected from Ares. Like the Ares 964 Turbo introduced earlier this year, the Ares 992 Targa is a unique project. The car is equipped with a new carbon aerodynamic body kit designed by Centro Style, which is tastefully integrated into the body.

The car is slightly wider, 3.14 inches (8 cm) at the front and 1.57 inches (4 cm) at the rear, compared to the 991 GT3 Targa. The interior is completely upholstered in the highest quality leather, as well as the basic model, and new decorations have been added to increase the overall impression.

The upgraded Ares 992 Targa is powered by the same Boxer 6 engine as the 991 GT3 Targa but with 60 hp more. The car also has a new exhaust system.

The owner of this unique model is not known, nor how much the upgrade will cost.

The future of electric race cars

At the Munich Motor Show, Porsche unveiled the Mission R concept model. It is a fully electric race car that achieves the same results on the track as the current 911 GT3 Cup.

Mission R is made of plastic reinforced with natural fibers, combining modern technology and sustainable materials. To reduce the weight of the vehicle, the safety cage is made of carbon fiber. With a length of 170.3 inches (4,326 mm) it is slightly shorter than the 718 Cayman model.

Inside, everything is subordinated to the driver. On the two-spoke steering wheel, which can be used as an e-sport simulator, there is a display that shows the speed and other information about the car. Above the steering wheel is another screen connected to the side cameras (side mirrors) and the central mirror.

“Porsche is a brand for people who fulfill their dreams. The same goes for motoring. We experience our innovative strength on the racetrack, show courage in finding new roads and delight car owners with sporty performance. In addition to our participation in the Formula E World Championship, we are now taking the next big step forward in the field of electric mobility.The concept study is our vision of fully electric motoring for customers.Mission R is the epitome of everything that makes Porsche strong: performance, design and sustainability, ”Says Oliver Blume, CEO of Porsche AG.

It is powered by electric motors with a staggering 1,074 hp (800 kW). With all-wheel drive, the Mission R reaches 62 mph in about 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 187 mph (300 km / h). The electric motors are powered by an 80 kWh battery. Thanks to 900-volt turbocharging technology, the battery can be charged to 80 percent in just 15 minutes.

Porsche Taycan aero kit developed by RevoZport

As one of the best luxury electric cars, the Porsche Taycan has a new RevoZport aero kit.

RevoZport wanted to attract more attention by switching from the Mercedes-AMG model to electric cars like the Tesla Model 3. Now this tuner has unveiled its version of the Taycan inspired by the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. The Taycan is equipped with forged rims with or without aerodynamics, and the interior has remained the same.

This is not the first time that RevoZport is working on big brand models. So far, they have cooperated with many car companies, and some of them are Ferrari and Tesla.

The Aero kit is offered in two variants, the Taycan GT-Z and the Taycan Revoluzione. Both sets have their own special features, so users can choose which style they want. The Taycan GT-Z is tasked with transmitting Porsche’s legacy. This primarily refers to the 911 GT3 RS model, and not just any GT3 RS, but the 992 generation one. The price of this aero kit is $ 15,000.

The second variant, the Taycan Revoluzione, turns the Taycan into a sports sedan with an even distribution of thrust. It comes with a swan neck-shaped rear spoiler and a 918 Spyder-inspired rear diffuser. The price of this aero package is $ 12,000.
