The new Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet models are getting a Spring makeover at the hands of TECHART. The new GTstreet R Cabriolet offers drivers a new take on the topless sports car thanks to a long list of modifications.
For power, TECHART offers a wide range of Powerkits for the GTstreet R Cabriolet, which can bring the power of the car all the way up to 720 horsepower. To match this power are 265/35 ZR 20 tires at the front (also available: 265/30 ZR 21) and 325/30 ZR 20 tires at the rear (optional: 325/25 ZR 21). TECHART can supply customers with 20-inch TECHART Formula IV Race centerlock wheels of 21-inch TECHART FOrumla IV wheels.
Undoubtedly, the most notable difference that TECHART has made for the GTstreet R Cabriolet when compared to the base Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet has to be the new exterior components. This includes the new front apron, hood, front fenders, side skirts, rear apron, rear diffuser, rear wing and more. Each of these aerodynamically focused components are comprised of carbon fiber for the sake of weight and sturdiness.

Open-air concert with 720 hp: The new TECHART GTstreet R Cabriolet.
TECHART launches into spring with a new body version of the GTstreet R. Based on the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet models, the TECHART GTstreet R Cabriolet provides open-air driving pleasure with breathtaking performance. The TECHART powerkit with a total power output of up to 530 kW (720 hp) allows the open version of the GTstreet R to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.7 seconds and to reach a top track speed of 340 km/h.
The wind tunnel tested carbon fiber body parts put the 911 Turbo Cabriolet in the spotlight – at the same time the aerokit optimizes the road handling of the GTstreet R by increased downforce. Active aerodynamics provide a total downforce of 321 kg at 300 km/h in Performance Mode.
For enhanced grip and a precise steering behaviour, TECHART equipped the GTstreet R with impressive tire dimensions. to the GTstreet R. The TECHART manufactury flatters with a exclusive interior executed decorative GTstreet R design stitching.
Unforgettable design and sophisticated aerodynamics.
The carbon fiber GTstreet R front apron with its active front spoiler lip optimizes the airflow onto the water- and oil coolers with additional air intakes. A central air outlet helps to reduce the aerodynamic lift. The integrated front lights are tastefully surrounded by carbon airframes. Laterally positioned flaps increase the downforce and reduce the drag coefficient at the same time. The lightweight carbon front lid, which bears a three dimensional TECHART logotype at its inside, underlines the vigorous appearance of the TECHART GTstreet R Cabriolet with its dynamic shape.
The carbon front fenders feature front wheel arch air outlets. Both, the heat generated by the brakes as well as the overpressure produced by the turning wheels are discharged through racy visible carbon slats. The carbon side skirts continue the GTstreet R Cabriolet design line and interlink the extended wheel arches at front and rear aesthetically. For maximum airflow to the intercoolers, the rear side sections of the GTstreet R Cabriolet feature powerful carbon air intakes.
The rear apron incorporates distinctive air outlet ducts – typical for the TECHART GTstreet styling.
A trim panel made of visible carbon fiber creates visual impact by connecting the three dimensional taillights. A carbon rear diffusor frames another GTstreet R highlight: the high performance sport exhaust system. Four central carbon fiber tailpipes release the exhaust fumes while generating an extraordinary and powerful soundscape.
On top of the engine lid, the active GTstreet R rear wing catches the eye with its contoured carbon wing profile, carbon side panels and two aerodynamic carbon fiber winglets. In Performance Mode, the GTstreet R Cabriolet wing is raised automatically and its angle is adjusted by up to 15 degrees. A large aerodynamically shaped carbon air intake unit ensures sufficient air supply for the engine at any time.
Optimized road handling and up to 720 hp.
To provide the required grip, TECHART fits enlarged tire dimensions to the GTstreet R Cabriolet. The road contact is ensured by 265/35 ZR 20 tires at the front (also available: 265/30 ZR 21) and 325/30 ZR 20 tires at the rear (optional: 325/25 ZR 21). Customers can chose among 20-inch or 21-inch wheels. The forged 20-inch TECHART Formula IV Race centerlock wheels are equipped with roadlegal UHP tires. The 21-inch TECHART Formula IV wheels feature a weight optimized rim construction and are equipped with road tires. Both wheels can be individually customized in color and surface finish.
TECHART provides different options for the chassis such as the TECHART VarioPlus coilover suspension with PDCC connectivity or the TECHART Noselift front axle lift system. TECHART Noselift makes common obstacles like parking garages, ramps or speed humps a thing of the past as it instantly provides 60 mm of additional ground clearance at the front axle at the push of a button. Individualization of the brake calipers is quality-made with a temperature-resistant coating and ensures a perfect color match.
Needless to say that the new TECHART GTstreet R Cabriolet demonstrates its performance skills not only in terms of its visual appearance but also when it hits the road. TECHART boosts the performance of the engines of the 991/I and 991/II 911 Turbo and Turbo S models with a range of impressive powerkits, which generate a total power output of up to 530 kW (720 hp) and a maximum torque of 920 Nm.
In combination with the 911 Turbos’ active all-wheel drive system, the driving performance of the GTstreet R Cabriolet reaches a new level. Besides its stunning sound and appearance, the new TECHART high performance sport exhaust system features another highlight. TECHART introduces a continuously variable pneumatic valve control as a novelty in the GTstreet R. The stepless valve adjustment optimizes the exhaust back pressure depending on different load conditions and avoids unwanted frequencies effectively.

The mode switch at the steering wheel, the air vents, the air vent adjusters, the PDK gear selector, the gear lever surround and the seat adjustment are lacquered in custom color. As an option, TECHART carbon fiber interior parts complete the tailormade surrounding, such as trims, panels or seat backpanels in different visible carbon fiber finishes, to mention a few.
