Porsche 911 Turbo S with 790 hp

The Porsche 911 Turbo S is one of those cars that many tuners have tried to make better with more or less success, but when one of the world’s best and specialists for Porsche cars, TechArt, takes it into his hands, the result is a true beast with 790 hp.

The tuner equipped the Porsche 911 Turbo S with the GTsport carbon package, which includes a front bumper with side wings, side skirts, side air intakes, a rear diffuser, bumper vents, a rear spoiler, a new hood, side mirrors, adaptive suspension, and a TechArt sports exhaust system with carbon ends of the exhaust pipes. There are also two sets of rims, Formula VI Race with optional carbon aero discs and Formula VII Race. Inside, a combination of leather and Alcantara covers the seats, steering wheel, dashboard, door panels and center console as well as the armrest.

When it comes to the powertrain, customers will be able to choose between two upgrade packages, the Power Kit TA092/T1.1 and the Power Kit TA092/T2.1.

The Porsche 911 Turbo S is powered by a twin-turbo 3.7-liter flat-six with 640 hp (477 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) of torque. The Power Kit TA092/T1.1 package brings a remapped ECU and a power increase to 700 hp (522 kW) and 664 lb-ft (900 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed PDK transmission.

Power Kit TA092/T2.1 brings power increase to 775 hp (578 kW) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm) with Gasoline Particulate Filter, or 790 hp (588 kW) and 701 lb-ft (950 Nm) without Gasoline Particulate Filter. Also, the top speed has been increased to 350 km/h (217 mph).

When it comes to price, TechArt did not say how much the upgrade will cost.

Autozam AZ-1 as a mini Ferrari F40

Liberty Walk is a Japanese car shop that makes body kits for Ferrari, Lamborghini and GTR. Their latest work is a car created as a combination of Ferrari F40 and mid-engine kei-class sports car Autozam AZ-1.

The AZ-1 was one of the most exciting cars from the Japanese kei class. Even in factory form it looks like a mini supercar, and the gullwing doors add to the sporty look. It is powered by a 657 cc three-cylinder engine with 63 hp (47 kW) mated to a five-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels.

The tuner changed the front of the AZ-1 with a new grille and hood to resemble the F40. Wings in the corners, an extended splitter, extended fenders connected to massive sills were also added. Dual round headlights are not part of the package.

New door panels with the shape of the NACA opening were installed, creating a look closer to the legendary Ferrari. A new fixed rear wing, diffuser and redesigned bumper with reflectors have been installed, but there are no taillights.

Although Liberty Walk doesn’t mention the exhaust system, the photo shows three centrally placed tailpipes, just like those on the F40.

When it comes to the price, the body kit costs $22,600, and that includes all of the above as well as sports seats. 16″ and 17″ six-spoke wheels wrapped in Toyo tires that cost an additional $14,300.

Hyundai NPX1

Hyundai recently introduced the most powerful electric Ioniq 5 N, called the NPX1, equipped with several N Performance components produced by Hyundai’s N division.

The Ioniq 5 N is powered by two electric motors that produce a total of 650 hp (485 kW) and 546 lb-ft (740 Nm) of torque. That’s just enough power to push the car from 0 to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 162 mph (260 km/h). Its 84 kWh battery enables a range of up to 560 kilometers.

The presented carbon components, among which the elements of the front bumper, the rear air diffuser and the large spoiler on the fifth door stand out, will also be offered as an option with the electric Ioniq 5 N from the middle of the year. There are also special rims that contain carbon, which contributes to reducing the weight of one of the most compact electric cars today.

Its dark color gives it a more aggressive look, and thanks to the adjustable suspension, the car is even closer to the ground. There is no photo of the car’s interior, and the company announced that it will be dark with lots of Alcantara.

At the end of last year, Hyundai announced the arrival of the Ioniq 6 N, based on the Ioniq 6 model. It will be Hyundai’s most powerful car ever, and its premiere is not expected until 2025.
