After AC Schnitzer announced that their BMW 3.5d Coupe has set a new record as the fastest diesel car at Nardo-Italy, today it is TECHART’s turn to ‘brag’ about their TECHART Porsche Cayenne Turbo as the fastest Fullsize-SUV on the same circuit.
The TECHART Porsche Cayenne Turbo has set the new speed record after reaching 321,2 Km/h (200 mph) on the world’s fastest motor racing circuit that is 12,4 Km long.
The TECHART Porsche Cayenne Turbo features Porsche’s Turbo S technology and the engine kit fitted by the German tuner is able to squeeze an extra 130 horsepower from the SUV’s stock engine, meaning that total output is 680 horsepower.
An aerodynamic kit and a ‘Sport’ air suspension has also been fitted while visual upgrades both inside and out include various carbon fiber components, aluminium pedals, a sports steering wheel, illuminated door entry, LED daylight running lights as well as 22 inch TECHART Formula rims wrapped in high performance tires.
Techart press release:
TECHART Automobildesign really set the sparks flying at this year`s trial of strength at the High Speed Event in Nardo/Italy. Test driver Sandro Reuter reached a top speed of 321,2 km/h, respectively 200 mph, with the TECHART refined Porsche Cayenne Turbo. TECHART thus secured a new speed record for Fullsize-SUVs. The circular 12.4 kilometer track is still considered to be the world´s fastest motor racing circuit, even ahead of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the United States.
The winner car, refined with the TECHART equipment, is based on a Porsche Cayenne Turbo with Turbo S technology. The installed TA 055/2.2 performance kit takes the engine up to 680 hp, an increase of 130 hp compared with the standard production model. The Aerodynamics Kit I, together with the “Sport” air suspension module, additionally delivered the necessary performance on the circuit.
But thought was also given to TECHART´s usual external upgrades on the vehicle. The TECHART daytime running lights, sports steering wheel, carbon kit, aluminium pedals, decorative stitching and seat belts in gray, additional leather in Luxury Black and illuminated door entry guards with the TECHART logo made the car to a highlight in the pit lane.
Along with the driver`s skills, this success was primarily driven by the perfect, systematic adjustment of the wheels and the suspension. For the record run at moderate temperatures the TECHART Team chose Continental Cross Contact UHP high-performance tires on 22-inch TECHART Formula rims, which were exposed to specific loading as a result of the one-sided cornering on the circuit. Longstanding TECHART test driver Sandro Reuter said with great satisfaction: “The SUV was ideally prepared for the event. Both the engine and the tires showed a high level of performance and consistency.”
