TechArt GTstreet R The 997 Turbo convertible is perhaps the most extroverted 911 currently available, wearing a deep nasal air dam that eats roads for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even dessert. One can wonder if it needs more refinement, performance and ultimately; speed. TechArt, the German tuner from Leonberg, thinks it does and showed us their idea of the 997 Turbo convertible, with 660hp a roofless racing machine.
During an extensive road test we experienced the TechArt GTstreet R – one of the latest members of the TechArt family – implemented on a Carrara White 911 Turbo Cabriolet. But let’s start with a closer look at the exterior and interior changes.
The design of the car body – some may call overkill – has a wind tunnel tested aero kit including aerodynamically shaped bonnet, headlight trims, mirror trims and striking sill panels. A closer look at the improved front spoiler and rear wing reveal some new carbon air ducts optimising the engine ventilation. The package is rounded off with a different rear apron with carbon fibre diffuser and air ducts redirecting air to the intercooler.

Way too much for a cab, too many lines and scoops, sorry but it just looks riced out to me. The coupe can pull off a gt street kit (still a little much though) but on the cab....just doesn't work for me.
