600HP Cayenne Turbo by TechArt Magnum
August 16th, 2006
Based on the already brutal 450bhp Porsche Cayenne Turbo, the Magnum’s bodywork and engine have been extensively reworked by renowned German Porsche specialist, TechArt, to deliver a whopping 600bhp.
The latest powerhouse from the Teutonic tuning firm will be on display at this year’s theatrical car-fest, MPH’06 (Birmingham, NEC 26-29 October and London’s Earls Court 2-5 November) in the Sony Ericsson Studio.
The new TechArt machine pumps out its Pagani Zonda rivalling power thanks to a heavily modified twin turbo V8 engine. Despite weighing in at over 2300kg, the Magnum is capable of accelerating to 60mph in a Lamborghini Gallardo humbling 4.5 seconds.
2006 Porsche 911
April 15th, 2006
2006, 911 Carrera 4 and 4S coupe and Cabriolet models with all-wheel drive have been added, in addition to a Turbo version that goes on sale summer 2006 as a 2007 model.
The AWD system in the Carrera 4 and 4S has a multidisk, viscous coupling that transfers between five and 40 percent of the engine’s power to the front wheels, which improves handling and traction on slippery roads. Slightly wider at the rear than the base rear-drive 911 but the same width as 911 Carrera S models, the Carrera 4 and 4S accommodate wider tires at the back for better grip.
