World
debut at the ESSEN-MOTOR-SHOW 2004: TechArt Automobildesign presents the
sporty TechArt tuning program for the new Porsche 911 Carrera. The
various components are calibrated to both current models ? Carrera and
Carrera S.
Sporty
elegance characterizes the design of the TechArt aerodynamic-enhancement
kit: The production front apron receives more visual emphasis from the
TechArt front spoiler. But that¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s not all: The spoiler reduces
aerodynamic lift, thus further improving directional stability at high
speeds.
The
TechArt side sills give the coupe a longer, sleeker look. The
understated TechArt roof spoiler visually stretches the roofline.
TechArt also developed a rear diffuser for the 997 models, which extends
the rear apron downward and provides a dramatic backdrop for the two
oval-shaped twin tailpipes of the TechArt sport exhaust system.
Various
TechArt rear spoilers, headlamp and mirror housings and rear quarter
bumpers are in the final stages of development.
TechArt
also offers a TUV-tested wheel and suspension program: Owners of the
new Porsche 911 Carrera or Carrera S can refine their cars with
striking, light-weight TechArt Formula five-spoke wheels with 18-, 19-
or 20-inch diameters.
The
most exclusive version for the new Porsche features new one-piece
TechArt Formula light-alloy wheels in size 8.5Jx20 in front and in size
11Jx20 on the rear axle. TechArt recommends ContiSportContact 2 Vmax
tires in sizes 235/30 ZR 20 and 305/25 ZR 20 for mounting on these
wheels.
Custom-calibrated
to the TechArt tire/wheel combinations are the TechArt suspension
solutions. The range of modifications starts with TechArt sport springs
for a ride-height lowering of some 25 millimeters. It culminates in the
TechArt Vario sport suspension that was developed in cooperation with
Bilstein. Contrary to conventional coil-over suspensions this innovative
solution not only offers the ability to lower the ride-height on front
and rear axle individually by up to some 35 millimeters; the TechArt
Vario sport suspension also features sport shocks with adjustable bound
and rebound. This allows the suspension set-up to be adjusted to
individual driver¡Ë¢çE¢®Ec?s preferences and to the predominant use of the car
? on public roads or on the racetrack.
For
the 997 model series TechArt also offers sport sway bars, a dome
cross-brace, and a high-performance brake system with eight-piston
aluminum fixed calipers and 365- and 380-millimeter brake discs.
While
performance tuning for both 997 engines is still under development,
TechArt already offers various versions of exhaust tuning. The product
lineup includes oval-shaped dual tailpipes for the production exhaust
system, a throttle-controlled sport exhaust system and a complete
high-performance exhaust system with high-performance manifold, sport
catalysts and rear muffler.
As
a world-renowned specialist for exclusive interior creations TechArt
Automobildesign also offers individual interiors for the latest 911
series in all colors and designs.
The
program for the new Carrera comprises exclusive TechArt Colorline fully
leather interiors as well as sporty accessories: TechArt offers
ergonomically shaped airbag sport steering wheels, foot pedals, foot
rest and shift knob all made from aluminum as well as stainless-steel
sill plates with TechArt logo.
