NEW TECHART Gtstreet R PROTOTYPE SPOTTED ON ROAD TEST

Porsche tuning brand, TECHART, has been busy developing its new 992 Gtstreet R prototype, which is set to be unveiled in the coming weeks as a 2021 model and features a mammoth aerodynamic carbon-fibre rear spoiler and a second rear wing profile, which can be extended variably and promises maximum downforce at the track. In addition, the prototype’s back end features an aggressive apron with a large carbon diffuser accommodating two massive, centrally located tailpipes.

Under the rear wing (and barking aggressively through the model-specific exhaust system), the performance of the car’s TECHART Power kitenhanced flat-six can only be guessed. Since the company’s 992 Turbo S performance pack nudges power to around 710bhp and 664lb-ft torque, output of around 800bhp seems likely for Gtstreet R launch. The front of the car has also been aerodynamically optimised, making use of a new front apron, diffuser and a super-light carbon-fibre bonnet with Gt3-esque intakes to reduce lift. More details in the coming weeks.
