The TECHART Automobildesign has produced around 500 units for the past 20 years of its existence but so far the Magnum is its most successful creation. The Magnum is based on the latest Porsche Cayenne and will be celebrating its world debut at the upcoming Frankfurt International Auto Show IAA 2007.
And just like the previously produced Magnum the new TECHART Magnum is given a distinctly stunning aerodynamic-enhancement package that suits all versions of the Porsche SUV. All of the body components used for the new Magnum are from PUR-RIM plastic OEM quality.
So far in terms of design the noticeable parts include the curved TECHART fender flares that add to the width of the Cayenne. The rocker panels also provide a subtle transition between the wider wheel arches. Likewise the aprons found on the front and rear was placed there instead of their production counterparts and was designed to match up with the contours of the wheel arches.
The front apron provides the Cayenne with an even more striking appearance with its large air inlets featuring chic styled slats that provide cooling air for radiators and front brakes plus some air intakes like KN air intake that enables the car to breathe easier resulting to additional power and a much better gas mileage. Four auxiliary headlights plus some daytime running lights were equipped on the new Magnum to improve safety.
The rear apron of the Magnum with its integrated diffuser minimizes lift on the rear axle which provides the perfect backdrop for the TECHART stainless-steel sport exhaust system with the addition of two chrome tailpipes on either side.
In addition the body conversion is rounded up by the moldings for front and rear lights plus the inclusion of a new hood that features two new air outlets that optimizes heat balance in the engine bay.
The Magnum is also equipped with custom-tailored wheels and tires with the largest version featuring TECHAART Formula II light-alloy wheels in size 10.5Jx22in the front and 11.5Jx22 at the rear. In terms of optimal tires, TECHART has chosen the ContiCrossContact UHP tires in sizes 295/30 ZR 22 and 335/25 ZR 22 which are authorized for used on the Cayenne for top speed of 300 km/h.
These same tires also make the Magnum a prime candidate for the engine tuning of the Cayenne Turbo which is presently being developed to produce 620 hp/456 kW. Likewise the air suspension of the Cayenne Turbo was altered using the TECHART sport module to lower the ride height.
There were also countless TECHART interior options ranging from exclusive magnum accessories such as the ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel plus carbon fiber applications for the cockpit offered in different colors. The de Sede leather skins are altered by the company’s very own TECHART upholstery shop turning them into stunningly finished upholstery for seats, door and side trim, dashboard, roof pillars and headliner. Aside from the TECHART’s interior lines they are also known for state-of-the-art multimedia systems.
