speedART BTR-II 650 EVO: A 641-hp Porsche 911 Turbo
Of all the supercars available on the market, few have more prestige and few generate more excitement than Porsche 911 Turbos. Part of this excitement is its adaptability- 911 Turbos are usable day to day, and offer a more modest (though certainly objectively immodest) price point. That”s why there might be a market for speedART”s new cosmetic and performance kit for the 911 Turbo, called the BTR-II 650 EVO.
Externally, the BTR features an aerodynamic body kit, including a new front bumper and side skirts, rear diffuser, and a modified wing. A new sport suspension and 20-inch Light Spoke Competition provide both a new look and a performance upgrade.
The performance upgrades don”t end there, though: the 911 Turbo”s famed flat six taxes on new turbochargers, manifolds, and exhausts to produce 148 more hp and 110 lb-ft of torque more than the stock, putting the BTR at 641 hp and 664 lb-ft of torque. Ridiculous numbers, these, and paired up with the beefed up PDK transmission, the new machine gets from 0-124 mph in under 9 second and maxes out at 208- crossing that all important 200 mark for supercars. If you”re lucky enough to own a Porsche 911 Turbo, make sure to count your blessings this season; if you can manage to get your hands on this tuning pack, you have quite a bit more counting to do. The pack is second-to-none, and any 911 Turbo owner with some extra money this holiday season owes it to themselves to consider this pack as a special holiday splurge.

Press Release:
speedART BTR-II 650 EVO based on Porsche 997 Turbo. The worldwide strongest 911 Turbo with an enforced PDK-gearbox.
The latest speedART “žBTR-II 650 EVO” (Bi-Turbo Racer, 2. generation with 650 hp and Evolution-body kit) is the worldwide strongest Porsche 997 Turbo with 650 hp and over 900Nm. Additional to the impressive power the BTR-II 650 EVO is the only Porsche with an enforced PDK-gearbox which is the qualification for an impeccable power transmission. These modifications are in particular the following conversions:
Power:
The power increase of 150 hp and 150 nm consists of a modified motronic to enlarge the power boost in combination with bigger VTG-turbo chargers, a sport exhaust with sport cats and twin tail pipes plus sport headers/manifolds, sport air filter and enlarged intercoolers for a better heat dissipation. The acceleration 0-200 km/h is just over 9 sec. and top speed over 335 km/h.
Power transmission:
For power upgrades over 900 Nm and 650 hp an enforced PDK is required. The multi-discs in the gearbox are enforced (standard are 6 rings for inner and outer multi-disc-packet. The enforced version has 8 rings for each packet). So the enhanced surface of the rings is able to put over 30% more torque from the engine to the wheels which is required especially while using launch control starts and race track performance. Therewith the BTR-II 650 EVO becomes a unique experience because it had never given a Porsche who shifted faster and stronger.
Body kit:
The body kit “BTR-II EVO” consists of a new designed front bumper with spoiler lip and gun-metal frames for more down force and better brake cooling (EVO-version), side skirts, rear diffuser and a rear spoiler with movable rear wing for an improved aerodynamic and more down force.
