For those of you who have a Porsce 911 Turbo in their garage (lucky bastards), the guys from TechArt have come up with an engine performance kit that promises to take your monster to new heights. Available in two versions, the fir package (TA 097/T1) adds a revised ECU and a high-flow air filter that helps the 3.8-liter engine output 370hp (up by 70hp) and allows it to sprint from 0 to 100km/h in 3.2seconds on its way to a max speed of 324km/h. Then there’s the second package (TA 097/T2) that includes a sport air filter, new manifolds, a custom exhaust, and a reprogrammed ECU. All these for an 120hp upgrade to a total of 620hp, that allows it to reach 100km/h in just 2.9 seconds and to reach a max speed of 333km/h. Not bad .. eh ?

The Italian tuning house TECHART has revealed a tuning package to facelift the Porsche Cayman and the Boxster. The tuning kit includes a pair of TUV certified aerokits with LED daytime runners, carbon fiber interior touches and sport springs. Talk about the bodywork, the facelift package comes with a front spoiler, a body colored spoiler lip, side sills and a new-looking rear end. The down-force has been improved at multiple points on the car especially the rear where a rigid rear spoiler and apron together ensure that the car stays on road even at extreme speeds. On the inside there is a combination of carbon interiors and aluminum pedals along with a three-spoke steering wheel and lit entry sills.
