Breaking 200 mph with Porsche’s flagship.
Since it’s introduction in 1974, the 911 Turbo has always been at the forefront of performance in the automotive industry. The new facelifted 997.2 Turbo is no different, sporting a new dual clutch transmission and a 3.8 liter engine that pumped out more power than ever – until TechArt got their hands on one.
To give the new 911 Turbo even more earth-shattering performance TechArt has unveiled two new engine performance kits: the TA 097/T1 and TA 097/T2. The two kits add a host of engine upgrades for a substantial increase in power. This, coupled with the PDK transmission allows the Turbo to speed to 62 mph in under three seconds and power past the 200 mph barrier.
The TechArt TA 097/T1 performance kit takes the stock 3.8-liter’s 500 horsepower and 516 lb-ft. of torque and boosts power by 70 horsepower and 59 lb-ft. The large bump in power comes from the addition of a sport air filter and revised ECU. TechArt also includes a carbon engine styling kit so the engine looks as good as it performs. Acceleration is also improved, taking just 3.2 seconds to hit 62 mph and reaching a top speed of 201 mph – over 0.2 seconds quicker to 62 mph and 7 mph faster than stock.
Ultimate performance from the 911 Turbo is achieved with the TechArt TA 097/T2 performance kit. The kit includes a sport air filter, manifolds, TechArt Sport exhaust system, and a revised engine management system. The result is 620 horsepower and 604.5 lb-ft of torque – an increase of 120 hp and 88.5 lb-ft over stock. This gives the Turbo incredible performance, accelerating to 62 mph in 2.9 seconds, 124 mph in just 9.3 seconds, and hitting a top speed of 207 mph.
Both TechArt TA 097/T1 and TA 097/T2 Porsche performance kits are currently available to those looking to give their 911 Turbos break-neck performance. The 570 horsepower TechArt TA 097/T1 performance kit is priced at € 3,900 (+/- 5,000 USD) while the 620 horsepower TA 97/T2 performance kit is available for € 10,840 (+/- 14,000 USD).
