This piece of news is dedicated to present you a special Porsche 911. Being a 996 911 Turbo S, the vehicle came with a factory-installed “special” adjective, but its owner decided to have it tuned in order to make it even faster. We must start by telling you that the owner of the vehicle wanted to use for daily travel.

This of course means that, while the aim of the tuning job was to deliver a higher level of performance, the car had to stay civilized. So, we have to disappoint those of you who were expecting king-sized rear wings and hellfire exhausts. Now that we know what the 911 didn’t get, let’s move on to see what it was fitted with.

The vehicle (which entered our attention via luxury4play) is now a follower of SharkWerks’ Stage II engine upgrade. To be more precise, the car was gifted with an EVOMSit kit for the factory K24 turbochargers, a Europipe Stage Quiet (what a name for an aftermarket exhaust!) exhaust and Billet EVOMS diverter valves.

The tuner hasn’t offered the new output of the engine, neither has it provided the new performance specs. However, we’ll remind you that the stock version of the 996 911 Turbo S’ 3.6 liter six-cylinder boxer engine delivers 444 hp, managing to push the vehicle past the 62 mph mark in 4.2 seconds, with the 0 to 124 mph (200 km/h) game being played in 13.6 seconds.

The vehicles’ OEM wheels were ditched, being replaced by a set of Champion RS98 wheels, which use a multi-spoke design and come in a 19-inch size, using high-performance rubber. The aftermarket developer mentioned that the supercar will also receive suspension tweaks.
