LA Lakers Andrew Bynum Visits Techart

The tuning specialists at Techart recently received a visit from the star player of the Los Angeles Lakers at their headquarters in Leonberg. Andrew Bynum was invited to take a factory tour, when he had the chance to experience the creation process of handmade exclusive interior options like the Techart sport steering wheels or tailor-made seats, from all-leather interiors to ornamental stitching.

“Also in the workshop, the 23-year-old Bynum was impressed by the Techart quality standards. Whether aerodynamics, exterior design or automotive engineering, the passion for perfection is always the focal point at Techart,” the company brags in a statement.

After visiting the Techart showroom, Bynum took a test drive with the Techart GTStreet RS, based on the Porsche 911 GT2, while after the return, a second car was already waiting for him: a refined Porsche Panamera Turbo with the Techart power kit TA 070/T1.

A power boost of 80 hp at the push of the sport button provides the car with a total of 580 hp. Furthermore, the Panamera is also packed with high-quality individualization like the Aerodynamic Kit I or the Entertainment Package W2 with two displays integrated in the design of the front seats.

Although he injured his knee in Game 6 against the Oklahoma City Thunder in the first round of the 2010 NBA playoffs, Bynum kept on playing and helped the Lakers win their second championship in a row this season.

Andrew Bynum is known as a true car fanatic. He customizes all of his cars at Platinum Motorsport in Los Angeles, including a Nissan GTR, a Ferrari F430, a Challenger SRT8, and even a Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano.
