In the indexes, which Porsches designates the models, it is simple to get confused, therefore we will remind: versions GT3 are the most powerful, and here GT2 is not limited in turbo-power, and a novelty – the most powerful road Porsche in the history. Its 3,6-liter with two turbines gives out 620 h.p. Even at superpenalty Carrera GT was on 8 forces less. The newly made leader surpasses the former leader In a twisting moment even more considerably: 700 against 590 Nm.

Neither all-wheel drive transmission, nor robot PDK for this 911 GT2 RS is not provided. And whether these knots so high capacity – still a question are calculated. And a rear wheel drive with mechanics constrain dynamics a little: to 100 km/h of superpenalties is dispersed for 3,5 sec that on 0,2 sec worse, than 911 Turbo S with the robotized box and a drive gear on all wheels. Though last on 90 forces is weaker. But type 330 km/h can only 911 GT2 RS. However, the main advantage of this car even in other. On Northern hinge strain of a Nurnburgring nowadays laid off version GT2 without a prefix «RS» won at «Turbo» whole 17 sec. The novelty will win even more. And business not only in the forced engine.

In any other version of Porsche there is no such quantity of the decisions reducing weight: a rear screen from plastic, a boot lid – from carbon, steel details of a suspender have given way to the aluminum. For an additional payment a doors also possible to replace on carbon. Even the accumulator was replaced with easy lithium-ionic. As a result the weight of the car managed to be reduced to 1370 kg that on 70 kg it is easier than base Porsche 911 GT2.

Outwardly to learn the most powerful Porsche it is possible on the front bumper actually entirely representing an air intake, a black boot lid and a large rear wing behind.

This new champion on capacity among Porsche becomes still bigger rarity, than roadster Carrera GT. If last has dispersed on the world in circulation of 1 270 copies novelties will exhaust only in 500 pieces.

speedART speedHYBRID 450

The latest innovation of the Porsche Tuner speedART from Rutesheim near Stuttgart is called speedHYBRID 450 which is based on the new Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid. Please find attached an overview on the Tuning activities done by speedART:

Performance:

speedART offers for the V6 compressor engine a power enhancement with additional 70 HP, so that the system effort (petrol engine with electric motor) rises up to 450 HP and 570 NM. Regarding the performance, the effort of the speedHYBRID 450 is much better than the one of the Cayenne S. The speed-up decreases from 6.5 Sec. down to 6.0 Sec. and the maximum speed rises up to 252 Km/h. This means a plus of 10 Km/h compared to the original Cayenne S Hybrid and a plus of 22 Km/h compared to the usual V6.

The electric mode stays unaffected by the power enhancement. The speedHYBRID can be driven in the Zero-Emission-Mode as economical and as efficient as the original Cayenne Hybrid. Of course the function of the Sport- and the E-Power-Button stays the same, only that, when needed 70 hp more power for a sporty drive are available.

Sound:

speedART offers for the Hybrid a sport exhaust with sound switch and 2x100 mm tail pipes. This highlights the sportive sound of the V6-compressor and the power enhancement gets also acoustically underlined. The sport exhaust system with sound switch can be ordered for all Cayenne models with petrol engine. A sport exhaust system for the Diesel is also availiable.

Wheels:

Due to the special forging technology the weight of the LSC-wheels is on the same level as the weight of a cast 21“ wheel, so that there is no higher consumption caused by the bigger wheels.

Aerodynamic:

The innovative speedHYBRID?-concept is underlined by the sporty blue foliation, which causes together with the white base colour a sporty, modern and environment friendly image.

Two different body kits for the new Cayenne models are in preparation and will be presented contemporary, so that individual customer choices can be satisfied.

Suspension:

For cars with air-ride system an electronic lowering kit module will be offered and for cars with conventional suspension lowering springs can be ordered.

Interieur:

For the compressor motor a special turbo pressure gauge will be mounted on the car dashboard, so that turbo pressure can be observed all the time. Of course this is used in combination with a blue instrumental dial, which replaces also the grey instrumental dial of the centre rev counter from the original tachometer.
