TechArt will bring the next iteration of its 911 Turbo-based GTstreet to the 2007 Geneva Motor Show. TechArt’s last GTstreet debut in 2001, and was based on the 996 series 911 Turbo. With the new 997 series 911 Turbo tearing up the street, TechArt thought it was time for the new GTstreet.

The TechArt GTstreet starts with the 3.6L twin-turbo flat six engine, which is then extensively modified to deliver 630-hp. Zero to 62 mph takes just 3.2 seconds; 124 mph arrives in just under 11 seconds; on it way to a 214 mph top speed.

No tuner car would complete without a modified aero body kit, and the body kit for the TechArt GTstreet improves aerodynamic downforce, while minimizing drag.

The Next Generation:
TechArt GTstreet Based on Porsche 911 Turbo

With its 2001 TechArt GTstreet based on the Porsche 911 Turbo of the 996 model series, TechArt Automobildesign created one of the fastest and most powerful street-legal sports cars of its time. The next evolutionary stage of this fascinating concept celebrates its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show 2007: The new TechArt GTstreet based on the 911 Turbo of the latest 997 series.

Like the predecessor the new GTstreet edition centers on a powerful engine: The 3.6-liter twin-turbo flat engine is modified by the TechArt engine specialists and now develops 630 hp / 463 kW at 6,800 rpm, up from standard 480 hp / 353 kW. Peak torque increases from 620 Nm to 820 Nm at 4,500 rpm.

Thus equipped the TechArt GTstreet delivers performance that firmly places it among the world’s fastest sports cars: 0 – 100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds, 200 km/h after just 10.9 seconds and a top speed of 345 km/h speak volumes.

The body kit for the TechArt GTstreet was created in the wind tunnel, and offers an optimal symbiosis of aerodynamic downforce, minimized drag and striking design.
