In a fantasy land where the automotive industry defies convention, the virtual 994-Series Porsche 911 Turbo emerges as a beacon of tradition in an era of evolving powertrains. While electric vehicles (EVs) dominate the discourse of the future, this digital rendition of the iconic sports car challenges the status quo with its steadfast commitment to the rear-engine layout and rear-wheel drive configuration.
Unlike its contemporaries, the Porsche 911 Turbo embraces its heritage by retaining the engine at the back, a design philosophy unchanged since its inception in 1964. While other manufacturers experiment with mid-engine placements or electrification, Porsche remains resolute in preserving the essence of the 911’s DNA.
In the realm of ICE-powered models, the 911 Turbo stands as a testament to Porsche’s unwavering dedication to tradition. Even as the automotive landscape evolves, with advancements in electric powertrains reshaping the industry, Porsche remains faithful to its roots, offering enthusiasts a timeless driving experience that transcends trends and technological shifts.
The virtual 994-Series Porsche 911 Turbo, envisioned by artist Charles Jacob, embodies this commitment to tradition while infusing the iconic sports car with a touch of innovation. With its distinctive styling and unmistakable lineage, the 994-Series pays homage to its predecessors while carving its own path forward in the digital landscape.
While some may question the unconventional front treatment of the 994-Series, there’s no denying its ability to differentiate itself from its predecessors, the 992 and 991. In a world where automotive design is increasingly homogenized, Jacob’s vision offers a refreshing take on the classic Porsche aesthetic, sparking debate and discussion among enthusiasts.
Ultimately, whether one embraces or rejects the virtual 994-Series Porsche 911 Turbo, its existence serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy of the iconic sports car. In a fantasy land where innovation and tradition intersect, the 994-Series stands as a symbol of Porsche’s unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries while honoring its rich heritage.

Duesseldorf, Germany, 26th January 2024 – DMC, renowned for its pioneering spirit in automotive customization, is proud to announce its latest creation: The Porsche 992 Cabriolet Enhancement Program. Born from a client’s vision in the USA, this project exemplifies the epitome of innovation, luxury, and performance.
With a rich history and a relentless commitment to perfection, DMC embarks on this venture, pushing the boundaries of Porsche customization further than ever before. As with each DMC project, the Porsche 992 Cabriolet Enhancement Program is designed to cater to the unique preferences of Porsche enthusiasts worldwide.
Unleashing Unparalleled Power: The Heart of the Beast
At the core of this masterpiece lies the new DMC Performance Upgrade. The engine power enhancement adds an astonishing 160 horsepower (118 kW) and an extra 150 Nm (111 lb-ft) of torque to the Porsche 911. The result? A breathtaking 535 horsepower (401 kW). These numbers not only accentuate its commanding presence on both the track and the open road but also redefine the notion of power and speed.
With the DMC Package, the Porsche 911 Cabriolet achieves an electronically limited top speed of 313 km/h , up from 304 km/h. The sprint from 0 to 100 km/h is reduced from 3.4 to just 3.0 seconds, setting new benchmarks for acceleration. In the sprint from 0 to 200 km/h (0 to 124 mph), the vehicle equipped with the DMC Upgrade shatters records with an impressive 10.5 seconds.
Sculpting the Wind: Aerodynamics and Design
The Porsche 992 Cabriolet Enhancement Program doesn’t just deliver raw power; it’s an aesthetic masterpiece. The project began with a meticulous 3D scan of the 992 Cabriolet, setting the stage for the development of an all-new aero kit. The limited space of the Porsche 992 Carrera Cabriolet presented a unique challenge, and DMC’s designers rose to the occasion.
The pièce de résistance is the lightweight Carbon Fiber Rear Spoiler. The wing’s legs even feature a subtle nod to the Porsche logo, reminiscent of the classic prancing horse. DMC’s aim is to maintain the overall elegance that the 992 Cabriolet shines with, to keep its original lines and appear not “tuned” but rather like an upgraded stock car that could be mistaken for an original car from the Stuttgart factory. “The greatest compliment I could receive, is when spectators perceive my design as an OEM piece” says Gregor Hans Schoener, CEO of DMC. As with all of the German tuner’s aero component, this one is TUV-certified. It also adheres to FIA guidelines as well, ensuring not just style but also enhanced aerodynamic performance.
Forged Excellence: Bespoke Wheels for Discerning Porsche Owners
In the realm of automotive refinement, even the wheels are a canvas for artistic expression. The Porsche 992 Cabriolet Enhancement Program offers a range of lightweight forged wheels that not only enhance performance but also elevate the aesthetics of the vehicle. With limitless color and styling options, these wheels are tailored to match the owner’s individual taste. Crafted with precision, these wheels are a testament to DMC’s commitment to excellence. They measure twenty inches at the front, twenty-one at the rear and come wrapped in 265/35 and 325/30 Michelin Pilot Sport 2 black circles respectively.
Titanium Symphony: The ART of Sound
In the pursuit of perfection, every element counts, and the Porsche 992 Cabriolet Enhancement Program leaves no note unturned. The program offers a titanium exhaust system meticulously crafted by skilled artisans from ZESAD, DMC’s sister company. This masterpiece not only reduces weight but also enhances the exhaust note, creating an emotional soundscape that resonates with the driver’s soul. It’s a symphony of power, precision, and passion that transforms every drive into a captivating performance.
Unbridled Luxury: An Interior Like No Other
Step inside the Porsche 992 Cabriolet Enhancement Program, and you’ll find an interior that knows no boundaries. Every element of the cabin can be tailored to the client’s desires, ensuring a bespoke driving experience. Fine Italian leathers caress every surface, exuding opulence and elegance. However, the customization options go beyond convention, offering exotic materials like crocodile and python for those who seek the extraordinary. This is where luxury meets artistry, where comfort meets extravagance, and where every drive becomes an immersive journey into the world of exclusivity.
A New Chapter in Porsche Customization
The Porsche 992 Cabriolet Enhancement Program by DMC is more than an enhancement; it’s a new chapter in the story of Porsche customization. It’s a celebration of power, style, performance, and craftsmanship, where every detail is a testament to DMC’s unwavering pursuit of excellence. With unparalleled options for personalization and a commitment to exceeding expectations, DMC invites Porsche owners to embark on a journey where their dreams become a reality.
TechArt, a renowned name in the Porsche tuning scene, has chosen the Tokyo Auto Salon as the stage to introduce its latest creation – the GTsport, a modular customization concept designed for the Porsche 911 Turbo S (992).
Already hailed as “the most perfect sports car ever,” the 911 Turbo S serves as the dynamic canvas for tuning specialists like TechArt to push the boundaries of performance and personalization.

The carbon aero hood adds an elegant design touch, exuding a subtle race car vibe. Continuing the racing inspiration, TechArt equips the GTsport with Formula VI Race wheels. Extras such as a TechArt exhaust system with carbon tailpipes, a threaded spring kit, and side mirror trims further amplify the individuality of the vehicle.
In the realm of performance upgrades, the GTsport boasts TechArt’s Power Kit TA 092/T1.1, elevating the 3.7-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine to 710 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque, a significant increase from the stock 650 hp and 590 lb-ft. Alternatively, owners can opt for the Power Kit TA 092/T2.1, which replaces the turbochargers, adjusts the software, and pushes the output to an impressive 800 hp.
The customization extends to the interior, with TechArt’s Refined Interior option offering additional leather and unique colored stitching. For those seeking an even higher level of personalization, the TechArt GTsport Exclusive Interior is available, though specific details are yet to be revealed.
