TechArt GTStreet Cabriolet @ 2008 Geneva Auto Show


Tuner cars are often works of art, flights of fancy or out-and-out racers, but rarely are the upper echelons of performance-tuned cars graced by models intended as daily drivers. Techart’s GTstreet Porsche is an exception to that rule, however - if you can afford the upkeep.

Starting with the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet as its basis certainly didn’t hurt the transformation into monstrously powerful daily driver - it was already more than halfway there. Now, however, the GTstreet takes its compressed charge of air and turns it into 630hp (463kW). With an appropriate length of tarmac, the black beauty runs to a maximum speed of 214mph (345km/h). But despite the ultra-high speed and huge power, the car is designed to remain tame and liveable on the streets instead of a harsh-riding, power-sliding deafening track rat. It’s only a monster when you want it to be.
Made to match the GTstreet Coupe, released at the Geneva auto show last year, the GTstreet Cabriolet will similarly be officially revealed March 4th at the 2008 Geneva Auto Salon. Read up on the initial news of the GT street Cabriolet, or check out its hard-topped little sister, the Cayman S widebody to see more of Techart’s handiwork.
More details and pictures are sure to come at the Geneva reveal, so stay tuned.

Press ReleaseTECHART GTstreet convertible – uncompromisingly sporty

In hall 2 of the 78th International Geneva Auto-Salon, the world premiere of TECHART Automobildesign will be unveiled. Here, the new TECHART GTstreet convertible will be presented to the press and international public; the car is based on the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet.

Uncompromisingly sporty, unreservedly suitable for everyday use. TECHART is continuing this traditional philosophy with its GTstreet convertible. Since 2001, when the Porsche 911 Turbo model from the 996 series was used, vehicles bearing the TECHART GTstreet logo have been among the fastest and highest performing road-worthy sports vehicles in the world.

The new TECHART GTstreet is continuing this impressive trend, based on the current Porsche 911 Turbo generation. At the world premiere on 4th March 2008, this convertible model will stand alongside the GTstreet Coupé, which was officially launched in Geneva in spring 2007 and caused a real sensation.

Unmistakable characteristic appearance and breath-taking performance. The TECHART GTstreet convertible now develops 463 kW (630 hp) and can reach a maximum speed of 345 km/h.
