TechArt Lightly Revises GTStreet R Pkg for Porsche 911 Turbo Facelift

German tuner SpeedART will be showing off (in Geneva, where else?) a kit for the current facelifted 911 Turbo. That's the one with the 3.8 liter boxer which somehow finds a way to drop 500 horsepower of wrath on Planet Earth's tarmac.

SpeedART's kit is the second generation of their Bi-Turbo Racer (hence the BTR-II nomenclature), it makes 650-horsepower, and it plays host to an Evolution body kit (that would be the EVO).

First things first: that 150-horse boost in power (and +150 Nm of twist) is a direct result of the new turbos, intercoolers, headers, catalytic converters, an exhaust system, and, of course, all the computer work necessary to make sure the car doesn't spit pretty pieces of its engine all over the Autobahn.

SpeedART claims a 3.2 second rip to 100 km/h (62 mph) and a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph).

The body kit has all the standard fare (bumpers, skirts, lips, wings, and all the other add-ons), which - as usual - is there so you don't get yourself airborne on the way to the top. It rolls on 20-inch LSC Forged wheels that are 8.5 inches wide up front and 12 inches wide (that's one American ruler) in back.

Also, sportified suspension is probably standard on the BTR, whereas custom interiors are always available as long as your wallet is deep, your spouse forgiving, and children potty-trained.
