2007 Porsche 911 Turbo
January 11th, 2007
TechArt has turned the new Porsche 911 Turbo into one of the world’s fastest and most powerful street-legal sports cars. 580 bhp, 0 – 62 mph in 3.46 seconds and a maximum speed of 211 mph some of the most important performance figures of this car. The 3.6-liter boxer engine was modified by TechArt in many details. Two bigger turbochargers contribute to the TechArt engine tuning just as the sports air filter and the stainless steel exhaust system with special manifolds and integrated high performance catalysts. All modifications are finely tuned by the recalibrated ECU.

Buyers and consumer are looking forward to the long awaited 2009 BMW 5-series. Early illustrations show toned-down creases and edges, less-busy details, and a more sophisticated overall appearance. A longer wheelbase will boost rear seat room, while a wider track and a slightly lower ride height give the car a more ground-hugging stance. Inside, there’s a new instrument panel, an optional head-up display, and a center console angled toward the driver.
The drivetrain goes high-tech with brake-energy regeneration teaming with adaptive alternator control, a start-stop system with an upshift indicator for manual transmissions, plus biofuel- and synfuel-capable engines.

Porsche 911 Turbo
December 4th, 2006
According to Porsche, the new 911 Turbo is quicker from zero to 60 (3.7 seconds vs. 3.9) with the optional five-speed Tiptronic automatic than it is with the standard six-speed manual. We also heard the next-generation model will handle better if you drive with one hand at 12 o’clock and the other on the stereo, but Porsche officials were not amused when we tried to confirm this possibility.
Porsche claims the added quickness of the Tiptronic-equipped model is a result of the Turbo’s new variable-turbine technology, a revised traction control system, and a retuned Tiptronic shift program. No matter how it all comes together, the fact remains this is one of the quickest 911s ever.
