Porsche Electric Car, Not a Hybrid
Here is a unique electric car created by Jeff McCabe with the Porsche 928 frame and body, since he couldn’t afford the Tesla Roadster. To make this work, he needed to remove a majority of the weight of the car, over 1,700 lbs to be exact. Jeff did this by removing the engine, transmission gears 1st, 4th, and 5th, most of the electronics, pop-up headlights, and interior luxury pieces. All this was swapped out to fit 1,300 pounds of 750 lithium iron-phosphate cells, after his initial run with lead acid batteries. The stock wheels and brakes were also trashed for lighter components, while the glass was replaced with lexan windows.
Vorsteiner VRT Porsche 911
The Porsche 911 Turbo is an amazing car, and from the factory comes with a 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine producing 500 PS and 651 Nm of torque. This power was plenty enough for the tuners at Vorsteiner, however they are well known to push cars to the limit in terms of exterior styling. For this project, the tuning company installed their own body kit to improve the aerodynamics, and gave this Porsche 911 its full potential. It consists of a custom front fascia featuring new air intakes, side skirts, new rear bumper, and diffuser underneath. A larger spoiler was swapped out with the stock piece, saving weight with the new carbon fiber design and providing extra downforce for all that power.
TECHART Porsche 911 GTStreet RS
The car tuners from TECHART have released the ultimate street legal track car based on the Porsche 911 GT2 called the GTStreet RS.

This Porsche 911 GTStreet RS is one of the most powerful sports cars in the world with its new modifications producing 700 horsepower and 860 Nm of torque. The list of aftermarket parts after the jump.
SpeedART Porsche Cayenne Hybrid
The German tuning firm at SpeedART has unveiled the latest customization program for the Porsche Cayenne Hybrid. Adding more power and improving the cars styling was essential, however doing all this without affecting the pure electric mode was a hefty task. The Porsche Cayenne Hybrid still kept its zero CO2 emissions and great fuel consumption thanks to the specialists at SpeedART. Under the hood, the car tuning company tweaked the 3.3-liter supercharged V6 hybrid engine to raise its numbers beyond the factory 333 horsepower.
Misha Porsche 911 Turbo
If your looking to trick out your Porsche 911 Turbo, there are many Porsche tuning companies out there and this latest package comes from Misha Designs. This kit was designed for the turbo Porsche version, however some parts can be fitted on all 911 models. Starting off with the exterior, a lower lip was installed along with a diffuser for the rear bumper, hood with optional carbon fiber vanes, side skirts, and an extra blade for the cars stock spoiler.

The modified Porsche Panamera aero kit consists of new front and rear bumpers, side skirts, rear diffuser, custom front grille, and redesigned rear wing to completely transform the luxury sports car. The rear vents on this Panamera closely resemble the Audi R8 vents, and although it may be odd to take Audi’s idea, we have seen several tuning companies use this look for their new rear bumpers.
Mansory Porsche Panamera Turbo
The Swiss tuning specialists from Mansory released a new package for the Porsche Panamera Turbo featuring many improvements. A little over the top in my opinion, this Porsche Panamera Turbo received a bold paint job along with a full body kit consisting of a new front skirts, LED daytime running lights, carbon fiber bonnet, wider wings, side skirts, and a carbon fiber rear diffuser. The German tuned car now rides on large 22-inch wheels wrapped in high performance Dunlop SP SportMaxx tires measuring 265/30/ZR22 in the front, and 295/25/ZR22 at the rear.

Instead of adding any styling improvements to the Porsche, the tuners have focused all of the attention under the hood. The Porsche 911 GT2 is the fastest road car in Porsche history, but the customers feel they can always get a little more power, so that’s where Switzer comes in. After the tuning upgrades, the 911 GT2 put down 911 horsepower, ironic right, which is 291 hp more than the factory car, and just 89 hp less than the notorious Bugatti Veyron!
9ff Porsche 997 Turbo
