You know a tuner does its job right when the company copies the model of the automaker it targets, coming up with a set of "spyshots" for its next land missile. This happens to be the case with the upcoming Techart GTstreet R, which is covered in camo in the images below.
The German developer is offering us a taste of things to come and while this may be a bit of a stretch, we're expecting hypercar levels of performance from the beast.
For crying out loud, just look at that rear wing! As those of you following the tuning realm know, people haven't gotten over their ginormous fixed rear wing fetish, despite some of the world's fastest machines, such as the members of the HHHT (Holy Hybrid Hypercar Trinity) going for active wings.
As a result, Techart has worked to please the public, delivering one of the most outlandish wings we've seen outside of Rauh-Welt Begriff Neunelfers.
Then again, using the 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo S as a base, the GTstreet R will need plenty of downforce. The 580 hp Zuffenhausen machine has already proven it is extremely capable in factory form (it dissed a Huracan, remember?), so we can only imagine what happens once the tuning house starts playing with the twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six occupying its posterior.
With the development coming half a decade after the stellar Techart GTstreet RS, which was based on the 997-generation 911 GT2 RS, it has quite a velocity thirst to quench.
The German specialist will unleash the steroids-infused Turbo S by the end of the year, with this fall's Paris Motor Show appearing to be a likely occasion for the rear-engined coupe's debut.
Nevertheless, we're still waiting to see what Porsche's GT division has in story for the 991 future of the GT badge (here, have some spyshots).
