The new TECHART Magnum Based on the Latest Porsche
Cayenne
With more than 500 produced units the Magnum is the most successful
model in the 20-year history of
TECHART Automobildesign. At the Frankfurt International Auto Show
IAA 2007 the new TECHART Magnum based on the latest Porsche Cayenne
celebrates its world debut.
Like its predecessor the new TECHART Magnum sets itself apart with a
spectacular aerodynamic-enhancement package that fits all versions of
the Porsche SUV. All body components are manufactured from PUR-RIM
plastic in OEM quality.
The curved TECHART fender flares add eight centimeters to the width
of the Cayenne. The Magnum rocker panels provide a fluent transition
between the wider wheel arches.
The new aprons for front and rear that replace their production
counterparts were designed to correspond visually to the more pronounced
contours of the wheel arches. The TECHART Magnum front apron lends the
latest Cayenne generation an even more striking appearance. Its large
air inlets feature elegantly styled slats and provide ample cooling air
for radiators and front brakes. A total of four auxiliary headlights and
daytime running lights improve active safety.
The TECHART Magnum rear apron with integrated diffuser reduces lift
on the rear axle and provides the perfect backdrop for the TECHART
stainless-steel sport exhaust system with two chrome tailpipes on either
side.
The body conversion can be rounded out with moldings for front and
rear lights, as well as with a new hood that features two air outlets
that optimize heat balance in the engine bay.
The Magnum also features custom-tailored wheels and tires. The
largest possible version features TECHART Formula II light-alloy wheels
in size 10.5Jx22 in front and in size 11,5Jx22 in the rear. For optimal
tires TECHART chose ContiCrossContact UHP tires in sizes 295/30 ZR 22
and 335/25 ZR 22, which are approved on the Cayenne for a top speed of
300 km/h.
These tires also make the Magnum a prime candidate for the engine
tuning of the Cayenne Turbo that is currently under development and in
its most powerful incarnation will produce up to 620 hp / 456 kW.
The air suspension of the Cayenne Turbo is modified with the TECHART
sport module that lowers the ride height for enthusiastic on-road
driving by 30 millimeters. The entire range of adjustment from the
lowest ride height (loading level) to the highest (special off-road
level) measures some 110 millimeters.
The TECHART Magnum repertoire also includes countless interior
options. The range of products starts with exclusive accessories such as
an ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel and carbon-fiber
applications for the cockpit, available in a number of different colors.
Requests for an even higher degree of customization can be fulfilled
with exclusive TECHART fully leather interiors in any color and design
imaginable.
The TECHART interior line de Sede of Switzerland, created in
cooperation with the Swiss furniture manufacturer, represents an
especially exclusive option. The high-quality de Sede leather skins are
transformed by the company-own TECHART upholstery shop into meticulously
finished upholstery for seats, door and side trim, dashboard, roof
pillars and headliner. |
