The Porsche 911 Carrera T is already a driver's dream car – lightweight, manual, focused on the essentials. But the TECHART Tsport R takes it to a new level with an additional 111 hp (82 kW) for a total of 505 hp (373 kW) and 80 Nm of torque for 530 Nm. Four packages – Anstieg, Höhenmeter, Kurvenrausch and Berggipfel – bring carbon accessories, a flexible exhaust and interior upgrades such as a gear lever made of ancient bog oak. From a 0-100 km/h acceleration of 3.4 seconds to a top speed of over 300 km/h – this is a 911 that will not leave you indifferent.
Imagine: you are sitting in Porsche 911 Carrera T, hands on the steering wheel that smells of leather and petrol, and you think you've reached the pinnacle of driving pleasure. Then comes TECHART and says to you: “My dear, this is just the warm-up.” Their Tsport R package is not just an upgrade – it’s like giving the 911 a dash of German madness, a pinch of ancient oak and a great deal of cynicism towards average sports cars. Why settle for the factory 394 hp (290 kW) when you can have 505 hp (373 kW) and acceleration that will have you glued to your seat? Ironic, isn’t it? Porsche is already a legend, but TECHART knows that legends need a little wildness to shine. This article takes you into a world where the corners talk, the engine roars and every drive becomes art. Ready? Buckle up, because it’s going to be wild.
Power and performance: From purist boxer to TECHART rocket
The Porsche 911 Carrera T is designed as a purist 911 – around 35 kg lighter than the standard Carrera, thanks to thinner windows, less sound insulation and the removal of the rear seats. The base 3.0-liter twin-turbo boxer six-cylinder develops 394 hp (290 kW, 388 hp) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque. With a six-speed manual transmission, it reaches 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.5 seconds, 200 km/h (124 mph) in 14.4 seconds, and the final velocity is 293 km/h (182 mph). Extras such as rear steering, PASM active dampers (10 mm lower chassis) and a shorter gear ratio ensure a dynamic ride that will delight purists.
But the TECHART Tsport R turns that into something that breathes like a GT3 but retains the soul of the Carrera T. Their TA 092.2/C1 powerkit adds 111 hp (82 kW, 111 hp) and 80 Nm (59 lb-ft) torque, for total 505 hp (373 kW, 499 hp) and 530 Nm (391 lb-ft)Acceleration to 100 km/h drops to 3.4 seconds (2.1 s to 60 mph), up to 200 km/h 9.7 seconds, which is 4.7 seconds faster than the standard model. Top speed? Over 300 km/h (186 mph), depending on the tires and aerodynamic accessories. Ironically: while some tuners go overboard with huge wings, TECHART maintains the balance – more power, less weight, but still enough comfort for everyday use. The engine remains the legendary boxer, which now not only sings, but also roars with a deep bass that you can feel in your chest.
Sports exhaust system is a key part of the package. With valves that adapt to the driving mode, it's quiet in the city and wild on the racetrack. A subtle rear spoiler increases downforce without spoiling the elegant silhouette of the 911. Everything is homologated, with the guarantee that your Porsche remains reliable even when you push it to the limit.
Tsport R Variants: Choose your adrenaline level
The TECHART Tsport R offers four packages, like steps on an Alpine road – each higher level adds more carbon, less weight and more emotion. All include a powerkit and exhaust system, but the differences are in the details:
- Ascent: The entry-level package for those who want power without the fuss. Adds a rear spoiler for better grip and an exhaust for a symphony of sound. Perfect if you think too much carbon is just for Instagram.
- Höhenmeter (High Altitude): A step up with exposed carbon parts on the roof and bonnet, which reduce weight by around 5-10 kg and improve airflow. The car breathes easier and you feel more free.
- Kurvenrausch (Passion for curves): For those who live for the corners. It adds a front spoiler, side skirts and wider carbon fenders for superior aerodynamics and traction. This is the package for drivers who drive like every road is a racetrack.
- Berggipfel (Mountain peak): The highlight where TECHART shows all its know-how. The entire exterior is in carbon: hood, roof, rear spoiler, even the rear window in polycarbonate, which reduces the weight by an additional 2 kg. The interior gets Carbon Line upholstery and a leather steering wheel. The star of the package? A gear lever made of god oak – ancient oak trees preserved in a swamp for millennia, now transformed into a piece of history that you hold in your hand while you overtake the slow-moving.
All variants are equipped with TECHART Formula VI rims – 20 inches at the front (255/35) and 21 inches at the rear (315/30) – for better grip and an unbeatable look. Prices? From around €10,000 for the basic powerkit to €50,000 for the full Berggipfel, on top of the Carrera T's factory price (around €135,000). Worth it? If you drive with your soul, absolutely.
Interiors and Heritage: A Touch of History in a Modern Masterpiece
TECHART doesn't just change the exterior - the interior of the Tsport R is like a cockpit for true enthusiasts. A leather steering wheel with Alcantara, carbon trim on the dashboard and doors, and a gear lever made of god oak – an ancient oak tree that has lain in a swamp for thousands of years and is now pressed into a piece of art with a story. Ironically: Porsche uses wood for lightness, TECHART turns it into emotion. Every touch is a reminder that you are driving something special.
Founded in 1987, TECHART has become synonymous with high-end Porsche upgrades over the years. From its racing beginnings to its status as a premium Porsche partner, they have proven that they can preserve the soul of the 911 while adding a modern flare. The Carrera T draws on the heritage of the original 911 T from 1968 – lightweight, focused on driving. The Tsport R elevates this philosophy with modern power and precision that it is not ashamed to show.
Conclusion: Tsport R – a car for those who drive with their soul
The TECHART Tsport R is not for everyone. It is for those who feel the asphalt under their wheels, hear the symphony of a boxer engine and see corners as art. With acceleration 3.4 seconds to 100 km/h, 530 Nm of torque and finally speed above 300 km/h, this is a 911 that combines purism with wildness. Carbon accessories, a flexible exhaust and that ancient oak gear lever are just the icing on the cake. Ironic, isn't it? In a world where cars are becoming computers on wheels, the Tsport R is a reminder that real driving lives in the heart – and in the sound of a boxer.
Personally? Berggipfel would be my choice – because why settle for good when you can have epic? Package prices start at around 20.000 €, but for those who know that driving is not just about getting from point A to B, it is an investment in emotions.
