TechArt just launched its new bodywork, suspension, exhaust and cabin mods for the new 2017 911 Turbo and 2017 911 Carreras — and makes them more mouth-watering than ever!
The beauty of the TechArt programs for the 911 is that they are subtle, yet very convincing. Without the TechArt badges, the quality and integration into the original Porsche designs helps the parts disappear into the whole machine. This is in contrast to many of the very-obvious aftermarket upgrades out there.
The favorite among this group? Has to be the bright blue C2S.
This TechArt stunner has the curb appeal to stop any Porsche-phile in his tracks. An adjustable nose splitter, deep side sills, roof spoiler and a choice of two rear wings round out the major mods. But detail tweaks abound too: the front hood vent, the reshaped lower tail vents, wheel and springs swap for stance, and of course new uad pipes in back.
These remote-operated exhausts promise a bellow to rival any air-cooled predecessor — but able to be silenced at the touch of a button for when slinking home late at night.
A 10-minute power module install can be done by any DIY person. The module plugs into the OEM OBDII port to free 40Hp in the C2’s and 60HP in the 911 Turbo S. This is just the starting point, of course, and grows power even more with new exhausts, downpipe and turbo intake solutions.
TechArt’s nose-lift system (to raise the front end of the car for steep driveways or speedbumps) has been adopted by Porsche proper since TechArt created it. But many people do not have the option selected. Therefore, TechArt is happy to retro-fit it onto these 2017 models. It is a smart piece of the package: we recommend it to keep those deep bumpers intact over years of city driving.

TechArt Debuts 2017 911 and 911 Turbo – PnP Powerkits and Uniquely Sexy New Aero
Leonberg, February 26th, 2016
TECHART sharpens the character of the new Porsche 911 model generation with a new and versatile range of individualization options.

Ideal, redefined. New TECHART Aerokits for 911 Carrera and 911 Turbo.
New aerodynamic bodykits underline the sport-focused character of the 911’s driver. The design embodys technical and functional quality, as well as a classy treatment of the vehicle’s characteristics shape. Made of premium materials such as carbon fiber and polyurethane RIM, all parts are distinguished by trouble-free installation, perfect technical compatibility, high load bearing capacity and dimensional stability, combined with a low weight.
The two-piece Front Spoiler I features an integrated splitter and integrates seamlessly with the front apron. The functionality of the 911 Turbo’s active front spoiler is fully maintained. In combination with the new fixed TECHART Rear Wing II, the multi-stage adjustable front spoiler is operated by specifically fitted parameters for well-balanced aerodynamics at front and rear.
For the 911 Carrera models, customers can choose among two different TECHART rear wings. The Rear Wing I is mounted directly on the rear lid and is therefore adjusted automatically. The new Rear Wing II is fixed and replaces the automatically adjustable rear lid. Wind-tunnel developed air intakes ensure optimum airflow to the charge-air coolers. At the same time, TECHART’s newly shaped rear air outlets provide improved heat dissipation.
The TECHART roof spoiler, the more defined contours of the side skirts and new rear diffusers make the new TECHART Aerokits for the 911 and 911 Turbo models complete.

Sport, internalized. TECHART Carbon Fiber Packages for the 911.
High-grade TECHART carbon fiber parts highlight the individual orientation with new styling elements in spotlessly processed carbon. The lightweight material is shaped and finished in skilled manual work. The results are carbon parts which enable many personalization opportunities such as matt or high-gloss finishes or even color matched carbon highlights.
Manufactured at TECHART’s inhouse carbon fiber shop, genuine TECHART carbon parts add sport-oriented traits to both, TECHART body parts such as air intakes or wing profiles, as well as TECHART interior trims and complete seat backpanels. For a perfect match, it is even possible to upgrade OE parts of the 911 models with TECHART carbon fiber such as the Porsche SportDesign mirror.
TECHART Carbon Fiber Packages are available for any 911 model. For the 911 GT3 RS, TECHART offers carbon fiber packages which include carbon slats for the front wheel arch air outlets.
Driving dynamics, tailor-made. TECHART Powerkits for 911 Carrera and 911 Turbo.
Breathtaking design and sophisticated technology are an inherent part of all TECHART programs. New TECHART performance options set the 911 and 911 Turbo models apart from the series models. – As always, backed by the TECHART TECHTRONIC warranty and the security of genuine TECHART OE quality.
With the new TECHART powerkit, the 911 Carrera S, 460 hp and 560 Nm are at the driver’s command (series: 420 hp, 500 Nm). The power enhancement for the 911 Turbo S provides a power boost of additional 60 horsepower which makes a total of 640 hp and 880 Nm (series: 580 hp, 750 Nm).
Both powerkits feature the reliable TECHART TECHTRONIC engine management.
Innovation: TECHART sport exhaust with four central tailpipies for Carrera S:
New TECHART performance options raise the heartbeat of all 911 owners. Such as the sport exhaust systems for sporty and unique soundscapes. The new exhausts feature dynamic valve control for audible driving pleasure whenever you’re in the mood.
For the 911 Carrera S, the new TECHART exhaust system »Racing« presents a completely new look and feel. Four central carbon tailpipes give an unmistakable statement. Besides its unique styling, the four-tailpipes design allows a maximum sound difference between closed an opened exhaust valves.
For 911 Carrera S owners which prefer the combination of sporty engine sound and twin tailpipes (left/right), TECHART offers an alternative to Porsche’s sport exhaust system with central tailpipes. The TECHART exhaust system »Sport« comes with dynamic valve control. It is also available for the 911 Turbo models.
Lift system retrofit: TECHART Noselift®.
For a sporty appearance even at standstill, TECHART spacers and sport springs are the right choice. The springs can be combined with Porsche’s optional lift system. All 911 which missed this feature can be retrofitted with TECHART’s Noselift® front axle lift system. This provides additional every day use suitability through additional ground clearance at the push of a button. Ride height adjustment at the front axle: 60 mm (Porsche lift system: approx. 40 mm), automatic lowering at 50 km/h (Porsche: approx. 35 km/h).
Personality, 360 dgrees: TECHART wheels in 20- and 21-inch size.
Genuine TECHART wheels are distinctive design which perfectly complements the new 911 models. Designed and engineered by TECHART in Germany, following the renowned quality standards of the brand.
For the new 911 range, the TECHART Formula IV wheels and the TECHART Formula IV Race centerlock wheels offer brilliant styling and freedom for further individualization: with a pinstripe matching the color of the brake callipers, color-coordinated with the interior trims and stitching, bi-color or multi color painted or with a sporty matt finish.

»Exclusive« means »Yours«. The full TECHART repertoire creates a truly unique 911.
The in-house saddlery transfers the individual preferences of its owner to the interior design of the new 911 models, manufactured by TECHART in unsurpassed craftsmanship.
The illuminated TECHART aluminium door entry guards give an eye-catching welcome. Besides full individual treatment of the interior, TECHART assists its customers in setting selective highlights such as any kind of leather refinement and upholstery, decorative stitchings, carbon made or lacquered seat backpanels, in-house produced carbon trims and lacquered surfaces or color-matched instrument dials.
New TECHART steering wheel: TECHART »Type 7«, smaller in diameter and optionally heated.
The new TECHART »Type 7« sport steering wheel uses the 911’s optional Porsche GT Sport steering wheel as its basis. From the raw steering wheel rim, TECHART’s master craftsmen then give it its typical ergonomic shape, padding and finish it with finest leather, lacquered trims, carbon fiber segment, Alcantara, leather piping and any other TECHART options the customers may choose to individualize their steering wheel, before it is finally sewed by hand.
Any functionality of the original steering wheel is maintained such as multifunction, paddle shifters as well as the optional Mode selector. All TECHART steering wheels based on a heated series stering wheel are now available with an optional heating, so this comfort feature can be maintained even though the steering wheel is fully individualized. The paddle shifters integrate seamlessly with the personalized character of the steering wheel and interior, if the customer decides for TECHART’s new paddle trims, made of fine leather or Alcantara.
