Automotive News: 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S Modified by "TECHART"

► Design by TECHART :

Wider, flatter and longer as its predecessors. The new Porsche 911 Turbo S models make promises to performance, tradition and, last but not least, to technological leadership. A distinctive design as well as meaningful proportions and innovative aerodynamics express these attributes evidently. The TechArt aerodynamic kit enhances the characteristic design language of the Porsche 911 in a technical, qualitative and stylistic way.

The TechArt aerodynamic kit for the Porsche 911 Turbo S models, made from a lightweight fiber composite of carbon and polyurethane RIM, is distinguished by high levels of load-bearing capacity and dimensional stability with a low tare weight. The TechArt front spoiler for the Porsche 911 Turbo S models incorporates the active aerodynamics at the basic vehicle's front apron and thus supports its functional capability. TechArt Automobildesign controls the set up of the adaptive series spoiler at the vehicle's front apron in a way that it either fully extends by the press of a button at speeds under 80 mph (120 km/h), or does so automatically at speeds of over 80 mph (120 km/h). When the driver reduces speed to 50 mph (80 km/h) the spoiler retracts automatically. The precise aerodynamic adaption of the vehicle's front to the static TechArt rear spoiler allows a perfect air flow to the complete vehicle and results in improved driving dynamics and stability throughout all driving conditions.

TechArt aero wings, which are integrated into the front air inlets, create a dynamic shaft outline and form the prominent TechArt family face in collaboration with the TechArt air vent at the front apron. Headlamp trims and decals are a further highlight of this exterior kit.

► Rear Design :

The innovatory power of the TechArt brand is not just visible from the vehicle's front, but also from its rear. Air-flow-optimized side skirts give a more compact appearance to the vehicle and guide the TechArt design language to the rear. The TechArt roof spoiler assimilates the typical roof line of the Porsche 911 Coupé models and forms an aesthetic and functional unit with a static rear spoiler. The diffuser trim, framed by the sport tailpipes made from stainless steel in dual oval tube design, completes the TechArt aerodynamic kit harmoniously.

A sport exhaust system with valve control and a sound muffler kit are going to generate solid acoustic performance. Both systems are about to be developed and will make their debuts at 84th Geneva International Motor Show 2014.

WHEEL SUSPENSION

The strength of the most powerful Porsche 911 models is emphasized by the new 21-inch TechArt Formula IV light-alloy wheel in 5-twin-spoke design. It is available in standard or individual colors as well as in a bi-color finish. The weight reduced TechArt Formula III forged wheel in 21-inch can be ordered for the Porsche 911 Turbo S models in standard or individual colors, in a bi-color finish as well as in ceramic burnished glossy smooth finish. The classic TechArt Formula light-alloy wheel in 20-inch is also available. TechArt Automobildesign is also developing a new TechArt 20-inch light-alloy wheel with center lock for an even more agile driving behavior.

The TechArt spring kit is going to bring the vehicle body closer to the tarmac. In addition, TechArt is in the middle of the developing process for a noselift system, which has already been available for the Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera 4 models. It convinces due to reliability, rapid and quiet height adjustment, trouble-free retrofitting and TUV certification.

ENGINE

The TechArt program for the Porsche 911 Turbo S models is going to celebrate its premiere at 84th Geneva International Motor Show 2014 in line with the TechArt Power Kit TA 091/T1. This power kit is based on the intelligent TechArt engine management system TECHTRONIC and provides extra-performance for the Porsche 911 Turbo S models.
