Much of North America might have seen one of the most frightful Christmas holidays of recent years, but that does not mean that lady Winter touched all corners of the United States.
Even in December, there are still southern (Cali) places where the temperature is well above freezing levels. As such, can anyone condemn us for sharing summer-like visions of Porsche 911 Turbo S sports cars dwelling right beside the ocean and its alluring beaches?
Hopefully, not too many good folks, as we have the peeps over at performance wheel specialist AL13 Wheels Design + Technik ready for yet another custom Porsche highlight reel, this time of the 992-series 911 Turbo S variety. And it is one for the ages, both in background and customization and personalization ideas.
As far as we can tell, this is another of those feisty RDB LA builds, although this time around, the aftermarket wheel specialist did not bother (too much) with the traditional social media shoutout toward the tuning venue. No worries, we have seen enough of their outrageous work – including 911 Turbos wrapped in minty green and with one side of the wheels in black while the other had opposing white attire.
Plus, this 992-series Porsche 911 Turbo S is unconventional from a different standpoint even if it is still related to the custom work done on the wheels. So, the body has a stunningly contrasting yet subtle feel thanks to a tame body shade and glossy black aerodynamic bits and pieces. Plus, the Turbo S has been naturally lowered to better fit the ‘outrageous’ AL13 C020-109R monoblock Aerodisc aftermarket wheels dressed up in a gloss polished finish.
By the way, the Carbon Aero Kit splashed on top of the OEM Porsche 911 Turbo S body was created by a little outlet called 9/Design, an offshoot of 1016Industries and the new “home of the world’s finest 100% carbon Porsche components.” Apparently, the carbon aero program can also modify the components in weave or forged carbon fiber if you need to further stand out in the 992-series crowd.
But enough with this 911. Just in case that is not your Porsche Turbo S cup of tea, the rivaling folks over at AG Luxury have a Satin Black alternative in the form of the Porsche 992 Turbo S x AGL43 SPEC3 prepared by their partners over at California Wheels. The forged aftermarket wheels have a Matte Brushed Grigio finish, plus Matte Polished lips, and chrome hardware to bode well for the rest of the custom body treatment.
And, as a quick reminder, the 992 series of the iconic Porsche 911 was introduced in late 2018. The flagship Turbo S, meanwhile, appeared almost two years ago (March 2020). It sported a twin-turbocharged 3.7-liter flat-six mill that was good for 641 hp and 800 Nm (590 lb-ft), which is more than enough to hit 62 mph (100 kph) in as little as just 2.4 seconds!
For a long time, the new 2020 Porsche 911 has been one of the most prominent sports cars on the market. It has distinct styling and a heavenly performance. The 911 retains the wider fenders previously reserved for all-wheel-drive models. This costly upgrade is highly desirable for customers seeking faster acceleration and all-weather capability.
Another recent development is that the 2020 Porsche 911s are offered in four trim levels: Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera 4, and Carrera 4S. It is available as a coupe or convertible, with rear or all-wheel drive and automatic or manual transmission.
Every one of these models features an incredible twin-turbo six-cylinder engine. This cylinder comes in two potencies and pairs with an excellent automatic or manual transmission depending on customer preference. While the all-wheel drive system is faster and more capable in bad weather, both models quickly transition from fiercely athletic to strikingly elegant.
Features
The National Traffic Safety Administration and the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety did not crash-test 2020 911. Nonetheless, this Porsche has a slew of fantastic features, including driver-assistance technology, automatic high beams, blind-spot monitoring, and even night vision.
Key safety features include forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking as standard, lane departure alert, lane-keeping assist, and adaptive cruise control.
Other available driver assistance features are Front and rear parking sensors, Adaptive cruise control, and Adaptive headlights. Lane keeps assisting, Blind-spot monitoring, Traffic sign recognition, Night vision assistance, and the surround-view parking camera system.
Interior
2020 911’s interior looks quite sophisticated, with a blend of physical control buttons and a large center cupholder. It also has ventilated seats and a big wide screen which the steering wheel often blocks; then there’s the central tachometer with a physical needle that follows the engine’s revs with a terrific 7400-rpm redline. There’s also the gauge cluster which is very different from the usual and uses digital instruments instead of the conventional analog ones.
This new Porsche 911 has a fantastic low-slung driving position and supportive front seats, and the steering wheel has a wide range of adjustments. It also uses piano-black trim on the center console and provides a sizable interior cubby storage. Also, the 911 continues to offer seating for up to four, though the back seats remain a kid-only zone and can subsequently expand on the somewhat limited cargo space.
Every 911 has a 10.9-inch touchscreen built into the center of the dashboard. The center screen highlights the rotary push-button controls on the console, voice control, and buttons on the steering wheel. Porsche also has two high-end surround-sound systems. One has 12 speakers and is made by Bose, and the other has 13 speakers and is made by Burmester. The infotainment system has a Wi-Fi hotspot and supports wireless Apple CarPlay, but it doesn’t have Android Auto.
Exterior
The easiest way to identify a 992 is from the back, where the rear lights now span the entire vehicle width. Front and rear bumpers and lower valences are distinct, adding dimension to the 911’s styling and complementing the smoothness of its sides.
The 911 comes standard with adaptive suspension, which changes the damping force at each wheel; based on driving conditions and whether the brake is in Normal or Sport mode. A sport suspension lowers the car even more, and an additional dynamic chassis monitoring system works to reduce body roll even more when cornering.
The available suspension settings allow the 911 to outdo as a superfluity tourer, not just as a sports car. Her desirable features are the extra supportive Sport Seats Plus and Sport package, which entails a lowered suspension, a louder exhaust system, and a Rearview camera. The Sport Chrono package comprises a launch control and sporty drive modes. There is also the heated, multifunction GT steering wheel, which has a unique passive entry. And the Porsche’s Dynamic Light System Plus, which incorporates automatic high beams and headlights that swivel with the steering wheel.
Power and Perfromance
Hoisted in the back of 2020 911 is a twin-turbo 3.0-liter flat-six-cylinder engine. The base model produces 379 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque, while the S model produces 443 ponies and 390 pound-feet of torque. While all Carreras have a quick-shifting eight-speed automatic transmission, S and 4S models have a seven-speed manual. Both variants attain standard with rear-wheel drive and can be furnished with all-wheel drive for high-performance driving in all four seasons.
911 has tremendous acceleration for every application, mostly when their exciting good launch control is utilized. Porsche’s elective sports exhaust system also supports and improves the experience by procuring a fuller engine note. The 911 is as pleasing as ever and wonderful to drive. Its steering is communicative and explicit. The coupe and convertible have improved cornering grasp and resilience. The ride integrity is also flexible, and the 911’s amazing body control allows drivers to switch between relaxed and vigorous sprees easily.
The rear-drive 911 Carrera and Carrera S, as well as the all-wheel-drive Carrera 4, are EPA-rated at 18 mpg downtown and 24 mpg on the highway. The more dominant Carrera 4S, its ratings drop to 18 towns and 23 streets. Manual-transmission models get one mpg less in the city and one more on the highway. An automatic-equipped Carrera S averaged 30 mpg on a 200-mile highway route, outperforming its current lower EPA highway rating by six mpg.
Pros
Excellent handling, which boosts driver confidence
Powerful and very economical engines
Premium interior with lots of customization possibilities
Very Comfortable and reasonable for daily driving
Excellent Automatic Transmission
Significantly Faster Than Previously released models
Updated Interior Cabin
Cons
Small trunk and tear size
Infotainment System is a bit hard to reach and Requires Patience and Practice.
Pricing
According to listings for the 2020 Porsche 911, the average price is about $104,175. Prices for the various trims range from $104,175 to $154,091 and could fluctuate depending on the vehicle’s condition, mileage, features, and location.
Conclusion
The 2020 Porsche 911 places its other competitors near the bottom of extravagant sports car rankings. Even though some competitors can keep up with the 911’s speed, none can compete with its other amazing features and the thrill of driving this Porsche’s rear engine.
Its outstanding rendition and iconic styling make it an appealing package.
The 911 is an incredible machine with a jump in capability and speed compared to previous generations. To drive it is to be influenced by it. Customers have generally agreed that this recent generation of the 911 ups the car’s performance, handling, and effortless thrills sols its riders, perhaps too much.2020 by it.
Porsche’s road-going track weapon is not for the faint of heart
The 911 GT3 blends the handling finesse of Porsche’s most track-focused RS model with a more road-going presence and performance. Debuted in February 2021, the first 911 GT car from the 992 generation has been improved aesthetically and technically. The iconic, naturally-aspirated flat-six still powers it, and oh boy, the exhaust sounds can stir the soul of anyone when the engine revs to its 9,000 rpm redline. And this video from AutoTopNL proves that the GT3 is also a speed devil if let loose on the German Autobahn.
The Autobahn Is The Perfect Place To Unleash A Porsche 911 GT3
As you know, certain sections of the Autobahn have zero speed limits, and it is the best place to test a car’s top speed. This manual-gearbox-equipped 911 GT3 from the video is a Touring model, which means it has an automatically deployable rear spoiler. Upon setting the drive mode to Track, the GT3 whooshes to 124 mph in a matter of seconds. Sadly, the GT3 couldn’t achieve its claimed 199 mph top speed because of the growing traffic on Autobahn. The highest it clocked was 178 mph, which is not bad either.
Apart from the high-speed run, the acoustics of the normally aspirated flat-six is purely ear-gasmic. In an era in which hybrid powertrains are getting more prominent, Porsche is determined to stick with its in-house developed flat-six engine. We are not certain about the fate of this powertrain, but it is one of the best-sounding six cylinders in the market. In the video, you will also notice that the 911 GT3 loses stability for a split second upon entering the Autobahn. That is mainly because of the cold weather, and the Track mode turns off the ESC, but it also confirms how tail-happy the GT3 is.
The 992 GT3 Is One Of The Best All-Purpose Sports Car For Enthusiasts
While the 911 GT3 RS is very close to Porsche’s race cars, the GT3 is more road-focused, with almost similar track performance to the RS. While they possess significant differences in appearance and aerodynamics, the rear-mounted 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine remains the same. However, the RS adds another 15 ponies over the GT3’s 502 horses, which makes it no less than a BMW M4 on the road. In addition, the 346 pound-feet of torque is available post 6,000 RPM.
According to the Car and Driver, the GT3 can reach 60 mph in just 3.3 seconds and a quarter-mile in 11.5 seconds, which is very similar to the BMW M4 CSL. However, the GT3 is on the expensive side when compared to its key competitors, but it is one of the best driver’s cars available on the market.
Masterminded by Rolf Wütherich and Ferdinand Piech, the R made its competitional debut in 1967 as the lightest Neunelfer of them all. Tipping the scales at 800 kilograms (1,764 pounds) and powered by a 207-hp sixer, the R ended production after only 20 examples were finished.
In the 1970s, la Fédération Internationale de l’Automobile rolled out new regulations that allowed the Stuttgart-based automaker to add two extra inches to the front and rear tracks of the 911. That’s how the ST was born, a very rare car that weighs 960 kgs (2,120 lbs) in its lightest specification.
Both carbureted and injected STs were produced, with the 1972 high-butterfly 2.5 serving as the magnum opus of the breed. Competitional successes for the ST include the 1000 km Nurburgring endurance race, Targa Florio road race, Sebring 12 Hours, as well as the Daytona 6 Hours.
By adding two inches to the wheel arches, Porsche could accommodate slightly wider tires and wheels both up front and out back. Porsche didn’t have 9.0-inch Fuchs wheels for the rear axle, which is why Minilite rears were used in combination with 7.0-inch Fuchs wheels for the front axle. Said modifications wouldn’t have had a massive impact on the vehicle’s on-track performance without a number of weight-saving measures. For starters, thinner-gauge steel was used in several areas. Minimal paint also needs to be mentioned, as well as no soundproofing or undersealing.
Deletions further include the ashtray, sun visors, heating ducts, seat slide supports, glove box lid, and rear torsion bar covers. Plastic was used for the front and rear bumpers, as well as the front lid. Last but certainly not least, lightweight Plexiglas rear and side windows pretty much sealed the deal. The ST is coming back in 2023, probably as a 2024 model in the U.S. market, but with a twist. Rather than a track monster, the second coming is expected in the form of a road-going special edition that will borrow a few bits and pieces from the 992-generation GT3 and GT3 RS.
First spied back home in Germany at the beginning of December 2022 while testing in the rain, the ST is a heritage car that will sit above the Sport Classic in the lineup. To whom it may concern, the 911 Sport Classic retails at a simply unbelievable $272,300 in the U.S. at press time. Joined at the hip to the Porsche 911 Turbo, this duck-tailed heritage car makes 543 horsepower at 6,750 rpm and 442 lb-ft (600 Nm) at 7,200 rpm.
Given its relation to the GT3 and GT3 RS, the ST is rocking a free-breathing sixer with more than 500 ponies on tap. Recently spied testing in sub-zero weather in Sweden, the limited-run model certainly benefits from a number of weight-saving measures. Unlike the GT3 and GT3 Touring, this Touring-style interpretation of the GT3 RS features the carbon-fiber doors and conventional door handles of the GT3 RS. The front aero trickery is closely related to the GT3 RS as well, which probably means that it will feature the GT3 RS’ DCT.
The lightest version of the GT3 RS tips the scales at 1,450 kilograms (approximately 3,197 pounds), whereas the manual-equipped GT3 is officially rated at 1,418 kilograms (approximately 3,126 pounds). Given that the ST doesn’t feature the swan-neck rear wing of the GT3 RS, its DIN unladen weight should be somewhere between the GT3 and GT3 RS.
Pictured with the double-bubble roof of the Sport Classic, the ST also rocks centerlock wheels. The pictured prototypes are equipped with winter tires, which is only natural in cold weather testing conditions, but the real deal should come with super-sticky rubber shoes supplied by Michelin.
The Porsche 911 is one of the most iconic cars in the world. It has been a symbol of luxury and performance for more than 50 years, and its impact on automotive culture can’t be overstated. This beauty was featured in films, magazines, and on TV. It has been raced in some of the most prestigious events in the world. Porsche’s 911 has always had a fanatical following, and it is still going strong today.
History
The Porsche 911 was first introduced in 1963 and has been continuously produced since then. It was initially designed as a successor to the Porsche 356 and featured a 2+2 coupe body style. Over the years, it has seen many changes in design, engine configurations, and trim levels. The 911 has become synonymous with performance and luxury thanks to its powerful engines and well-appointed interior features.
911
The first generation of the Porsche 911 was produced between 1964-1989 and is known as either the “901” or “911”. This model featured a 2.0L flat-6 engine and a distinctive “whale tail” spoiler which became a hallmark feature on subsequent models. It was also available in both coupe and Targa versions.
930
In 1975, Porsche released their second generation 911, commonly referred to as the “930”. This iteration featured an all-new 3.0L turbocharged engine which provided more power than any previous model. It was only available as a coupe. However, it kept many of the design elements from its predecessor, such as its whale tail spoiler and shapely bodywork.
964
Roughly ten years later, in 1989, came what many consider to be one of the most iconic iterations of the 911: The 964 series. This model featured an all-new body style and began using water-cooled engines instead of air-cooled ones for improved performance and reliability. It was also available in both cabriolet (convertible) and Targa versions alongside its traditional coupe counterpart.
993
The 993 series marked yet another major milestone for Porsche in 1995, with an even more refined body style and high-performance twin-turbocharged engines becoming available for buyers wanting even more power out of their cars. The 993 also ushered in an era where stability control systems were standard on all vehicles providing drivers with even greater control over their cars at high speeds than ever before.
996
The next major update came in 1999 when Porsche unveiled their fourth generation 911, known as the 996 series. This model featured an all-new design language as well as completely reworked engines that now used water cooling instead of air cooling like previous models had done since 1964. Additionally, this series also introduced many new technological features, such as ABS brakes and traction control systems for improved safety on roads at higher speeds.
997
The 997 was introduced in 2005 and saw further improvements over its predecessor, including better aerodynamics and improved handling thanks to revised suspension geometry. The exterior design was updated to a more angular shape reminiscent of classic 911s, such as the 2.7 RS model from 1973. The engines were also upgraded with larger displacements and higher power outputs than before. In addition, optional features such as xenon headlights, adaptive cruise control, satellite navigation, and automated climate control became available on certain models.
991
Introduced in 2012, the 991 was yet another significant departure from previous generations of the 911; it featured an all-new body that allowed for a wider track width, improving stability when cornering at high speeds. It also featured revised suspension components, which improved agility compared to earlier models while maintaining excellent road-holding capabilities. Inside there were plenty of luxury touches, such as leather upholstery and touchscreen infotainment systems with smartphone integration capabilities.
992 Series
Introduced in 2012, the 991 was yet another significant departure from previous generations of the 911; it featured an all-new body that allowed for a wider track width, improving stability when cornering at high speeds. It also featured revised suspension components, which improved agility compared to earlier models while maintaining excellent road-holding capabilities. Inside there were plenty of luxury touches, such as leather upholstery and touchscreen infotainment systems with smartphone integration capabilities.
Engine & Performance
The heart of any car is its engine, and the Porsche 911 is no exception. Originally equipped with air-cooled flat-six engines ranging from 3.0 to 3.3 liters in capacity, today’s 911s are powered by water-cooled twin-turbocharged versions ranging from 3.0 to 4.0 liters. Depending on the model, these engines can produce up to 620 horsepower and 590 lb-ft of torque, allowing for 0-60 times as low as 2.3 seconds and top speeds of up to 205 mph.
Design & Features
The Porsche 911 is known for its distinct design language, which has remained relatively unchanged since its debut in 1963. The car’s classic silhouette is instantly recognizable and still looks modern today. Inside the cabin, you’ll find a well-appointed interior with premium materials like leather and Alcantara accents. Depending on the trim level, features like heated seats, a panoramic roof, a navigation system with Apple CarPlay integration, and an advanced infotainment system are available.
Variants
Carrera
The entry-level Carrera trim is available in both coupe and cabriolet styles, with either rear-wheel or all-wheel drive. It comes with a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine that produces 379 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque, giving it plenty of oomph for spirited driving. It also features an 8-speed PDK transmission and adaptive suspension with three settings—Normal, Sport, and Sport Plus—for optimal ride comfort.
Targa
The Targa variant takes its name from the 1965 Porsche 911 Targa, which was designed to be part open-top car and part hardtop coupe. This variant features a distinctive roll bar over the cabin that gives it a unique look compared to other 911s, along with a sliding glass roof panel for added style points. It also comes with an updated version of Porsche’s 3.0-liter turbocharged engine that produces 444 horsepower and 390 lb-ft of torque for an even sportier driving experience than the standard Carrera.
Turbo
The Turbo trim adds even more power to the equation thanks to its 3.8-liter twin-turbocharged flat-six engine, which churns out 572 horsepower and 553 lb.-ft of torque for blistering acceleration off the line. It also adds several performance upgrades, such as an active aerodynamic system that reduces drag at high speeds and active suspension dampers for improved handling around corners. The Turbo also features carbon ceramic brakes for better stopping power when you need it most.
GT3/GT3 RS
If you’re looking for pure performance, then look no further than the GT3/GT3 RS trims. These models feature a 4.0 liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine that produces 493 horsepower and 339 lb.-ft of torque for maximum speed in straightaways or around tight turns alike. They also come with upgraded brake systems featuring six & eight-piston calipers, respectively, as well as lightweight body panels to reduce overall weight while still providing superior handling dynamics compared to other variants in the lineup.
GT2/GT2 RS
Last but certainly not least is perhaps the ultimate expression of performance from Porsche; the GT2/GT2 RS trims feature a 3rd generation twin-turbocharged engine producing up to 700 horsepower in some configurations! They also come with uniquely tuned suspension settings along with larger brakes & wheels than any other model in order to handle this massive power increase compared to other variants in the lineup; these are truly track-ready machines.
Conclusion
The Porsche 911 is an icon of automotive excellence and has been for more than 50 years. Its combination of classic styling, powerful engines, luxurious features, and race-winning performance make it one of the most desirable cars in the world. Whether you’re looking for a daily driver or a track weapon, there’s no better choice than the Porsche 911.
Porsches are some of the most exciting German cars to drive, and although the automaker is widely known for its fast-paced racing cars, over the years, it has proved its versatility with some special builds that also incorporate a bit of utility or off-road capabilities.
This one-off Safari-Style 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe is one such example. It’s an incredibly elaborate go-anywhere 911, built with great attention to detail and performance figures matched only by the best safari builds.
It features plenty of modifications to achieve the ultimate Safari-style sports car, including an Elephant Racing Stage 1 suspension kit coupled with Von shocks and providing 2 inches of lift. It also received a roof rack, alloy skid plates, a Warn front winch, tubular front and rear bumpers, as well as a Werks Gruppe light pod mounted on the hood and yellow fog lamp lenses.
This Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe left the factory in Chiffon White (P2) livery, but it was refurbished in 2017 in its current shade of black with gray vinyl graphics on bith the hood and the decklid. It also features Safari script on the sides. The interior has also been reupholstered with tartan fabric trim and black leather.
Other noteworthy features that make this all-road Porsche special include a limited-slip differential, a hydraulic handbrake, a whale-tail rear spoiler,Fabspeed headers, and LED lighting.
The unique Safari project based on the Porsche 911 rides on 16” Braid wheels shod in BFGoodrich Baja Champion all-terrain tires and takes power from a 3.2-liter flat-six engine that was rebuilt in 2017 by Desoto Euro Werks of Nesbit, Minnesota. The mill is coupled to a five-speed manual transmission with an aftermarket dual-exit exhaust system.
The car’s six-digit odometer currently displays approximately 126,000 miles (202,777 km), but the real total mileage is unknown.
This spare-no-expense Safari-style Porsche 911 Carrera Coupe is offered for sale out of Portland, Oregon. The current highest bid sits at $142,000, but if you ask us, it might fetch much more, considering the level of detail.
It’s the highest price ever paid for a 964 Turbo on Bring a Trailer.
As car collectors continue to revel in ‘90s nostalgia, the most iconic rides of the decade are spiking in value. Case in point: a Porsche 911 Turbo S 3.6 from 1994 just sold for nearly $1.3 million on Bring a Trailer.
The online auction, which wrapped up on Friday, December 9, garnered a total of 33 bids that pushed the final hammer price to $1.27 million. It’s the most ever paid for a 964 Turbo on BaT. One look at the classic ride and the seven figures make perfect sense.
The 3.6-liter turbocharged 964 was introduced in January 1993 and offered through the 1994 model year. After roughly 1,400 examples had been sold, Porsche decided to upgrade 93 with the Turbo S package. Of that, only 17 were “Package” cars like this particular rarity. Destined for North America, all 17 paired the standard Turbo bodywork with a distinctive front splitter, asymmetrical side air intakes, a whale tail, quad exhaust tips and 18-inch Speedline alloy wheels.
Under the hood, the 3.6-liter flat-6 was bolstered with the X88 Turbo S power kit. Essentially, the folks at Stuttgart added modified cylinder heads and camshafts, larger-capacity fuel injectors and a bigger turbocharger and intercooler. The mill is mated to a five-speed manual transaxle and a limited-slip differential. All up, the engine can churn out 380 horsepower and 384 ft lbs of torque.
This example is finished in black over matching leather upholstery. For a little contrast, the “Turbo S” on the floor mats is embroidered in cherry red while the shift knob and parking brake are dark rosewood. Other highlights include a power-operated sunroof, front sports seats with electric height adjustment and a Porsche cassette stereo with a trunk-mounted six-disc CD changer.
To top it off, the four-wheeler has just 8,700 miles on the dial. As a result, it was presented in pristine condition. There was also a little work performed on the car in 2022, which included the installation of new engine gaskets, an airbag module, door speakers and engine gaskets.
Worth $1.3 million? Apparently so.

While Porsche is putting together the final touches on the facelifted 992, Mansory has only recently met the 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S. And you know what they did to them, don’t you?
Actually, you may want to make that ‘what they will do’ instead of ‘did,’ because we are in the teasing phase of the project, which includes two exterior shots of the 992 generation Porsche 911 Turbo S.
Far from being a pretty proposal, though that was expected since we’re talking about Mansory, the sports model turned super in the hands of the Zuffenhausen brand has a brash body kit, consisting of many carbon fiber add-ons that should fly off the controversial tuner’s shelves in no time after becoming available.
The front bumper is still the OEM piece, though it now has a more pronounced apron, with side blades, and side air intake surrounds. The front hood is also new, and was made of the same lightweight material, as are the side mirror casings, side skirts, and pieces attached to the rear intakes that feed air to the engine. At the back, it has even more carbon fiber, including that new diffuser, additional trim, and a large wing that otherwise doesn’t look half bad.
Porsche’s name below the light strip joining the taillights together has been replaced by Mansory’s, and it doesn’t have a crest anymore at the front. The Turbo S logo further reveals this car’s naughty nature, and the wheels, which seem to be about the same size as the standard ones, contribute to the makeover. We can also see new tailpipes integrated into the diffuser, so this 911 Turbo S might have a sports exhaust system, which would make it a bit punchier. However, Mansory doesn’t always provide a power boost for its projects, so it could go either way.
Porsche invented the Super 2021 911 Techart GT Street R Cabriolet based on the 992 series, 911 Turbo, and 911 Turb. The well-experienced manufacturers had striven sternly to ensure that this cabriolet was created sharper and with more feelings, not neglecting its functioning and uniqueness.
It comes with obscuring glass, tailpipes for a sports exhaust system, a front axle lift mechanism, a Porsche double clutch with eight gears, a matrix beam, and a bundle known as Sport Chrono Plus.
The GT street concept is quite established for having comfort as well as a combination of both track display and the strongest show of charisma.
The Impressive Features of the Super 2021 Porsche 911 Techart GT Street R Cabriolet
The TECHART GT Street R Cabriolet is a sports automobile designed specifically for turbo owners. Following will be an optional Roadster Package with additional enhancements for athletic day use.
In addition to the GT Street R package, which includes an aerodynamic package, a TECHART athletic exhaust configuration, and Techart’s own VI forged wheels, the 911 Turbo and 911 Turbo S models can also have further performance and interior modifications.
The classic bodywork of the Super 2021 Porsche 911 Techart GT street R Cabriolet has stunning carbon fiber minimalist components with enhanced aerodynamics. A coil-over package that may lower the vehicle by 0.2 to 1.2 inches is offered. A spring arrangement that a maximum of one inch may reduce is also available from Techart.
There are adjustable and powered folding mirrors that give nocturnal vision. Matrix-LED primary headlights, specially designed taillights, navigational aids, autonomous cruise control, and the surround view are included with park assist.
All parts are created and produced following the strict Techart quality standards.
The Cabriolet’s Engine and Performance
At the touch of a button, the powerhouse is released. The new TECHART GT Street R propels itself forward with up to 588 kW (800 horsepower) and an amazing high-power density of 950 Newton meters. In order to set a new bar for vehicles in its segment, the cabriolet delivers an impressive speed of 350 km/h, which guarantees an adrenaline rush.
The eight-speed PDK across both variants distributes power to all four wheels. Techart provides two performance improvement kits that significantly increase these numbers. One of them boosts horsepower and torque by 59 and 74, respectively. With the second component, the maximum speed rises to 217 mph.
The list of modifications continues with a new steel two-pipe exhaust system that was hand-welded and has a valve management system to dynamically adjust the engine’s sound. It must be a Techart Porsche if a particular level of vehicle safety meets the highest level of racing performance.
The TECHART GT Street R Cabriolet is keen on its promise to provide unmatched track performance with two power boosts.
The Exclusive Exterior Design of the TECHART GT Street R Cabriolet
Lightweight materials and improved aerodynamics characterize the TECHART GT Street R’s striking appearance. Another notable item is the brand-new carbon-based aero discs from TECHART.
Engineers created a variety of aerodynamic modifications, many of which were built of carbon fiber, to assure stability at high speeds. You’ll also notice that the wheel arches have been enlarged to accommodate the Techart-available forged wheels. They can be customized with center locks and aerodynamic discs and have a maximum diameter of 21 inches.
The exterior of the cabriolet is given the distinctive GT street look by an athletic aero kit that includes a front fender, a carbon composite aero bonnet, lightweight bumpers with wheel arch extensions, side skirts, and a carbon rear wing.
As a nod to earlier eras, a dramatic carbon fiber GT rear wing is positioned over the racing-inspired rear. The intercoolers receive an optimal amount of airflow thanks to their large air inlets.
The TECHART 3D customization now allows users to experience a seemingly limitless array of customization choices.

The interior of the cabin can be customized with a roll cage, sports seats, and a blue motif that extends to the dashboard dials and the quilted Alcantara leather trim.
