New Porsche 911 by TechArt

Saturday, September 29, 2012

Not only is the Geneva Motor Show one of the biggest and most influential auto shows in the world, but it also doubles as a tuning show with the industry's top names showing off their wares in an adjacent hall. TechArt is one of those tuners and will be showing off their new tuning program for the new 991 generation Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S.
As the first of several body kits for the 991 range to come, this initial package includes a front lower spoiler with integrated splitter, two vertical aero wings which sit in the front air inlet vents, headlight surround moldings, side mirror covers, side skirts, fixed rear spoiler with integrated brake light and rear bumper diffusor. As a final detail, the rear receives quad exhaust pipes with dual oval tips and sound volume valve control.
TechArt offers its classic and elegant Formula 5-spoke light alloy wheel in 20- and 21-inch sizes. Similarly, the TechArt Formula III forged wheel with five double spokes is available in 20 and 21-inch. This wheel offers a weight advantage of up to 15 percent compared to a cast wheel.
For the interior numerous color combinations and materials can be selected. The vehicle on display in Geneva will showcase an interior in black leather and Alcantara while accented by special stitching and matt-painted interior components in racing yellow and black as well as the carbon fiber trim. TechArt also includes their 3-spoke sports steering wheel with paddle shifters.


Lumma Design CLR 9 S based on Porsche 911 Carrera S

German tuning firm Lumma Design has already prepared a tuning package for the new Porsche 911 Carrera S designated as CLR 9 S. The 991 generation Porsche will debut at the Geneva Motor Show next week.
Aerodynamic body components include a redesigned front bumper fascia with integrated lower spoiler lip, headlight surround frames, exterior racing stripe kit and a subtle but tasteful three-piece rear deck spoiler.
Lumma also adds their four-pipe sports muffler with valve control and matching tailpipes in 90mm diameter. The tailpipes also feature a unique "pipe-in-pipe" design which are also available individually, just like the CLR 9 S aerodynamic components.
Wheel options include silver and black forged light-metal alloy Lumma GS/R edition sports rims which have a weight of just 9.4kg in the 9 x 20 size (front) and 11.4kg in 12 x 20 (rear). Recommended high-performance tire sizes measure at 245/30-20 and 305/30-20 for the front and rear respectively.
The interior has been completely reupholstered in red leather and black alcantara which is found on the dashboard, sports steering wheel, roof, door panels and center console. Other items include aluminum pedals, white instrument cluster guages and aluminum door sill panels.

Prior Design has introduced a new styling package for the Mercedes CL-Class (C216) bubbed the Black Edition. In the same vein as their SL-Class Black Edition, Prior Design's coupe is outfitted with a wide body kit that includes an aggressive front fascia, extended wheel arches and revised side skirts. There's also a ventilated hood, a roof-mounted air intake and a new rear bumper with an integrated diffuser. For an even sportier appearance, customers can also order 20-inch alloy wheels.
