TechArt Unveils GTstreet RS based on Porsche GT2
|
Originally Posted by Worldcarfans
Hot on the heels of the GTstreet Cabriolet, TechArt busts loose with yet another GTstreet offering, this time in the form of Porsche's venerable 530hp (390 kW) 911 GT2 aptly dubbed, GTstreet RS.
The GTstreet RS surpasses the 911 Turbo based GTstreet with 70 more hp for a total of 700hp (515 kW) and 860 Nm of torque. Power is achieved through the use of modified turbochargers, enlarged carbon inlet pipes, specially developed intercoolers, a sports flap exhaust combined with high-performance headers, modified pressure sensor and a sports air filter.
GTstreet RS front apron is fitted with a lower carbon splitter. Also from the top of the bumper fascia a special air duct has been constructed to enable air to pass directly behind the radiator and out through the newly created carbon outlet vents thereby reducing the buoyant force on the front axle considerably. Proving the aerodynamic kit is just as functional as visual, the GTstreet RS achieves in the wind tunnel 10 kilos of downforce on the front and rear axles at a speed of 140 km/h (87 mph).
Other GTstreet RS exterior trimmings include aero-bonnet, headlight shades, mirror shades, GTstreet sill panels and carbon roof spoiler. The GTstreet RS rear spoiler is particularly striking with its carbon winglets and gurney flaps. The GTstreet RS rear apron with carbon diffuser, air outlet and carbon air wings complete the programme for this club sports car.
Price for the 700hp GTstreet RS starts at €350,000 ($550,000 USD).

The rear wing is a bit too much for me but the rest seems ok

Who cares how the spoiler looks, it serves a function!

also, EVO recently tested version of the 997 turbo by Gemballa and Techart and on a lap of Bedford's West circuit they were both slower than the standard car. = pointless, and how much do they cost???? Just go for a DMS upgrade...

Hence the existance of the Rt12 - makes a CGT look like an overpriced Miata

Ever driven a carrera GT, it feel like an extremely powerful Boxter i.e. wonderful.
The reason it's very priey is down to it's construction.
