TechArt GTsport: Based On Porsche Cayman S
3.8-liter displacement, 385 bhp at 6,600 rpm, a peak torque of 300 lb-ft at 4,600 rpm and a top speed of 177 mph: these are the performance cornerstones of the new TechArt GTsport, a small-series production car based on the Porsche Cayman S. The price starts at $138,000.
At the heart of this mid-engine sports car lies the increase in displacement from standard 3,387 cc to 3,824 cc. The increase is facilitated by a bore enlarged to 99 millimeters with the corresponding larger special pistons, and by the installation of a special crankshaft.
The engine conversion further includes sports camshafts. A modified intake manifold with special air filter system and an aluminum header provide ample combustion air. The perfect interaction of all these components including the fully stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system with high-performance manifold is orchestrated by new mapping for the engine electronics. With a maximum power output of 385 bhp and a peak torque of 300 lb-ft, the engine satisfies both highly sporty minded drivers as well as those GTsport pilots who want lots of pulling power from low engine speed.
Powered by this engine, the mid-engine sports car offers excellent performance: The sprint from 0 - 62 mph takes just 4.9 seconds, and with a top speed of 177 mph, the TechArt two-seater easily bests its production counterpart in this discipline, too.
