2.8 seconds. Needs of both gifted a Porsche 911 Turbo TechArt TA PerformanceKit 097/T2 to accelerate from 0 to 100 km / h. If you can not charge but this value, do not blame, but I totally agree with you.

Hiding under the hood a 3.8 liter turbo engine that develops 500 horsepower andenjoying the full benefits of all-wheel drive system and dual-clutch PDKtransmission, Porsche 911 Turbo is one of the fastest cars ever built. TechArtversion but supecarul German is simply hallucinating quickly.

Thanks named TA 097/T2 performance kit, the model in Stuttgart under the hoodnow houses an entire herd. A herd of 700 horsepower, accompanied by the presence of no less than 880 nm - if not good at math, that means an extra 200 hpand 230 Nm compared to what boxer engine provides the standard version.

To get to these astronomical figures, specialists have made some changes to theTechArt engine compartment, the control unit, air filters, intercooler, variable geometry turbines themselves and being replaced with high performance. Or, if you like, with some higher performance than those used by Porsche.

As a result, the end result is devastating. More specifically, each equipped with911 Turbo Performance kit TA 097/T2 only needs 2.8 seconds to accelerate from0-100 km / h - less than a hundredth of a Lamborghini LP700-4 Aventador. Also, acceleration from 0-200 km / h is achieved in a more-than-impressive nine seconds, the speedometer needle continuing his trip to the barrier of 352 km / h.

And, the price change has not yet been announced. The fact is that it will increaseonce again opt for that subtle aerodynamic kit, these forged wheels that help reduce weight or modified suspension that extra bit available for perfect handling.
