Oakley Design used a lot of carbon fiber elements to create their own version of the 997 GT2 Porsche. They made a special body kit that consists of a new front spoiler with a front lip, a rear spoiler lip, new roof, new wheels and even a new roll cage which looks like a modern sculpture made from lightweight material. The car’s stock roll cage weights 60 kg and the new one installed by Oakley Design weights only 12 kg and any customer would feel that weight reduction when he’s accelerating the car. Under the hood, the car tuning company modified the engine cooling unit and after they installed a pair of KKK turbochargers this GT2 gained 89HP, from 523 HP to 632 HP. The car also received a stiffer suspension and better breaks.

The new SP550 Porsche 997 Turbo was one of the nicest premieres from Sportec at this year’s Geneva Motor Show. The guys from Sportec installed two special turbochargers and a new sport exhaust system with sound baffle system and high capacity catalytics to improve this car’s performances. They also added a special air filter with an optimised flow rate which will take care of this car’s demand of intake air. The result is an great engine which could deliver 550 HP and a gigantic torque of 705 Nm at 4,030 rpm. The car has really low CO2 emissions and it could accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 3.7 seconds, from 0 to 200 km/h in 11 seconds and it could reach a top speed of 331 km/h. Customers could order an improved body kit with better aerodynamics, a new front spoiler, side skirts, a 3 part rear apron and a GT-style rear wing.

Project Kahn is a well known car tuning company that deals with Aston Martin, Bentley, Range Rover and they are also known for the fine quality rims they design. This time they started to modify a Porsche 911 Turbo and the results can be seen in the pictures below. At the exterior you can easily see those RSX 20″ rims that have a beautiful design and with the new suspension system the car is closer to the ground with 20 mm. Kahn has slightly modified the car’s front bumper and the rear wing that is specific for 911 Turbo. And to make it look even better they also colored the car’s windows. Only an exterior tuning kit is available for Porsche 997 because the guys from Kahn haven’t modified the car’s performance. [click to continue…]
