Techart Power Kit Tunes Porsche 911 Turbo S to 620HP


Even though the freshly unveiled Porsche 911 Turbo S leaves the Stuttgart factory with more ponies than a horse farm (530, to be precise), it's still not enough to satisfy German tuning firm, Techart.

Its team of engineers crafted a new power kit that increases the flat-six engine's output by 90HP and 120Nm for a total of 620-horsepower and 820Nm (604.8 lb-ft) of peak torque. The boost is achieved through a reprogrammed ECU, a free-flow air filter, a new manifold and a sport exhaust system.

According to TechArt, acceleration from zero to 100km/h (62mph) is trimmed from Porsche's 3.3 second claim for the stock 911 Turbo S to 2.9 seconds on the tuned version. It can also get to 200km/h (124 mph) in just 9.3 seconds (down from 10.8) and ultimately reach a top speed of 333km/h (207mph), up from the standard model's 315km/h (195mph).
