TECHART Unveils Limited Edition GTstreet R Flyweight Based on Porsche 911 Turbo S
TECHART Automobildesign GmbH has unveiled its latest creation, the TECHART GTstreet R Flyweight, at the Bangkok International Motor Show. The limited edition super sports car is based on the Porsche 911 Turbo S and is designed for track day enthusiasts who want to experience racing technology in a custom-built vehicle. The Flyweight program is part of TECHART's new performance division, which offers comprehensive upgrades for Porsche owners.
The GTstreet R Flyweight is limited to just 19 units and is derived from professional sports, where Flyweight designates athletes in the lightest and most technically-savvy weight classes. The same values are essential factors in the development of all TECHART Flyweight programs and products.
The engineers at TECHART have focused on optimizing the performance of the individualized super sports car for race track use while keeping its suitability for everyday use. The aerodynamic highlights of the limited edition TECHART GTstreet R Flyweight program include a distinctive, fixed carbon fiber front splitter that generates additional downforce, side air fins with integrated canards, and a molded carbon fiber underbody. To protect the front splitter during use on the race track, it is equipped with integrated skid plates.
The new TECHART carbon fiber front fender with wheel arch extensions features even more efficient and prominent air outlets. An essential aero element: the iconic carbon GTstreet R Flyweight rear wing consisting of a newly developed and weight-optimized carbon fiber base body with fixed wing, side air intakes, reshaped wing end plates and a manually adjustable wing profile.
The interior of the GTstreet R Flyweight features exclusive finishes including accurate stitching in contrasting color and the hexagonal pattern of the Flyweight DNA. The signature TECHART Flyweight DNA continues from the racing-style decor on the exterior to a meticulously individualized handcrafted interior. Every GTstreet R Flyweight is equipped with TECHART individualized RECARO Podium CF performance seats as part of the clubsport interior.
The TECHART GTstreet R Flyweight enters the ring with a weight saving of around 60 kilograms compared to a series model equipped with similar options. Despite the additional safety features and without giving up comfort in everyday life. Every customer has the choice between visible carbon parts in matt or high-gloss finish, complete paint jobs in matt, gloss, special or effect colors and, together with the TECHART Design Team, can create a personal vehicle decor.
TECHART gives the GTstreet R Flyweight based on the Porsche 911 Turbo S a special power treatment in the form of the TECHART Powerkit TA092/T2.1.
