TechArt Drops The Top On 630 HP GTstreet Porsche 997 Turbo For Geneva

Because there aren't enough variants of the Porsche 911 already, TechArt provides us with even more options for the rear-engined sportscar. This new GTstreet Convertible is a variant of a variant of a variant. That means they've taken a 911 Turbo Convertible (which is already a variant of a variant of the 911), and then added all their TechArt flim-flam to it. The end result is a 630 HP, AWD, 214 MPH, open-air adrenaline rush. Photo gallery and press release below the jump.

TechArt's Latest: Porsche 911 GTstreet

Poreche tuning haus TechArt is rolling out its latest GTstreet — a concoction first mixed in 2001 with the 996-series 911 Turbo. The new 997 version has been tweaked to 630 horsepower (from 480) via twin VTG turbochargers and intercoolers, new performance air box and manifolds and a stainless-steel sport exhaust system with high-performance catalysts, all managed by a remapped ECU. A wind-tunnel-tested aero kit, including retractable carbon-fiber splitter, adds stability at the double century mark. TechArt claims a zero-to-60 time of 3.2 seconds and a top speed of 214 mph. If you really can't wait for Porsche's own GT2 to appear later this year, gather up $332,923.72 (approximately) and whatever a long-distance call to Leonberg-Höfingen costs, and get on the horn.
