Techart’s Monochrome Is A 799 HP Celebration Of The Porsche 911 Turbo’s 50 Years

Porsche isn’t the only one blowing out the candles for 50 years of the iconic 911 Turbo. German tuner Techart has crashed the party with its own limited-edition “Monochrome” package for the 911 Turbo. Only 20 of these special editions will be made, for those who want to stand out from the already exclusive crowd.

The Monochrome is based on the Techart GT Street R, a heavily modified version of the Porsche 911 Turbo S that had a limited production run of 87 units (because 100 would be too mainstream). The anniversary special brings unique styling flourishes, new wheels, and a highly customized interior, while retaining the aggressive aerodynamics and the healthy power boost of its siblings.

Visual upgrades over the GT Street R include the Techart crest on the hood and a fresh set of 22-inch Formula VIII Forged wheels, designed not just to look cool but to keep those brakes from melting. Despite the name “Monochrome,” you can order it in a variety of colors, though the dark-themed example really makes a statement.

The extensive carbon fiber aero package is largely carried over from the GT Street R, with wide fender extensions, aggressive bumper add-ons, and GT3 RS-style vents that scream “I mean business.” For the rear spoiler, you get options, from a subtle ducktail to a rear wing that could double as a picnic table.

Just like in the GT Street R, Techart claims that the complete aerodynamic package generates four times more downforce than the stock Porsche, while reducing the lift on the front axle by 45 percent at 140 km/h (87 mph).

Inside, the cabin is reupholstered in a mix of leather, Alcantara, and heritage fabrics, with enough carbon fiber inserts to remind you this car is all business. Black aluminum has been applied to the pedals, footrest, and side sills, with Monochrome and Techart badging scattered around the cabin. Of course, everything can be be customized to fit the buyer’s wildest dreams.

As for the powertrain, the twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six has been boosted to a monstrous 799 hp (596 kW / 810 PS) and 950 Nm (701 lb-ft) of torque, enabling a top speed of 350 km/h (215 mph). This marks an increase of 158 hp (118 kW / 160 PS) and 150 Nm (111 lb-ft) over the donor Porsche 911 Turbo S, matching the highest output available in the GT Street R Touring. While the tuner hasn’t specified the suspension upgrades, it’s likely that owners can choose between lowering springs or adjustable coilovers.

Techart hasn’t dropped the price of the Monochrome yet, but with its limited production and custom touches, don’t expect it to come cheap. For reference, the equally rare GT Street R Touring comes with a hefty €98,250 ($109,292) premium over the donor 911 Turbo S, so you can imagine where the Monochrome will land—probably somewhere in the “if you have to ask, you can’t afford it” category.
