Manhart Calls This Porsche The TR 800
The tuned sports car has an additional 183hp/165Nm over the series model.
Wuppertal-based tuning house Manhart Performance has just revealed its latest creation. It’s called the TR 800, with the current-gen Porsche 911 Turbo S as the base. The latter is no slouch by any possible measure. I mean the series model can hit 100kmph from nothing in 2.7 seconds, reach 200kmph in 8.9 seconds and clock 330kmph flat out. Those performance figures are down to a twin-turbocharged 3.8-litre, six-cylinder boxer engine that offers 650hp/800Nm, and an 8-speed automatic transmission that feeds the oomph to all four wheels.
However, Manhart wanted to make something that not only has the potential to outperform the donor car but also outclass it in terms of looks. Naturally, the starting point was the powerplant. The tuner installed a turbo performance kit with an upgrade to the turbochargers and the intercooler and remapped the ECU (Engine Control Unit). As a result, the TR 800 takes the power and torque figures up to 833hp and 965Nm, respectively. Simple math reveals an increment of 183hp/165Nm over the standard 911 Turbo S.
The Manhart TR 800 packs other mechanical differences as well. For instance, there’s a new stainless steel exhaust system with valve control and Manhart downpipes with 200-cell catalytic converters. Even the 8-speed PDK has been modified to withstand the extra punch from the engine. Also new is the suspension, which, as per Manhart, improves the quality and comfort of the ride while offering better driving dynamics. As for the ride height, that’s 30mm lower than the original setup. The brakes, however, are standard but Manhart has upgrades available in the options list.
The tuned 911 Turbo S rides on forged and satin-finished Manhart Concave One rims, which also don an orange trim line to match the body colour. Complementing those custom wheels are a bunch of carbon trim elements, including the front spoiler lip, air intakes, mirror caps, side sills and the extendable rear wing. The black stripes on the bright orange body colour make the car a head-turner, and the same dual-tone scheme is carried over to the interior with leather upholstery and Manhart-branded floor mats.
