TechArt Automobildesign have customized one of the rare mid-engine super sports cars for one of its long-time customers. Based on a Carrera GT they developed aerodynamically efficient custom-tailored body components made from exposed carbon fiber that serve as a visual contrast to the metallic-orange special paint.

A new air outlet on the upper half of the front fascia and a one-piece spoiler lip on the lower half give the front of the two-seater an even more dynamic appearance. The low-reaching front spoiler reduces lift on the front axle at high speeds further and thus further optimizes directional stability.

TechArt has also developed a three-piece gurney flap that serves as the aerodynamic counterpart in the rear. The center piece of the separation edge extends together with the pop-up rear wing and in combination with the fixed spoiler edges on the leftand right produces additional downforce on the rear axle.

The suspension and tires of the Carrera GT remain untouched, but the peripherals of the 5.7-liter V10 engine are upgraded with a TechArt stainless-steel high-performance exhaust system and a modified intake system. Both benefit not only the engine sound that escapes through the two production tailpipes; the modifications also increase maximum power output from 612 hp to some 635 hp.

Further room for improvement of the Carrera GT lay in the cockpit. TechArt customized the interior with an ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel with leather/carbon fiber rim, and a shifter made from exposed carbon fiber.

Max Power: 635 HP
Max Torque: 435 ft-lb @ 5750 rpm

................Sometimes it amazes me that there are people out there thinking they can do a better job in a shed, than a multi-billion dollar corporation, but yeah, why not.
By the way, I think I preferred your One-Piece-themed old profile pic, @Tsukishima......:embarrassed:
