SpeedART Outlines SP91-R Program for 2012 Porsche 911 Ahead of Geneva



The upcoming Geneva Motor Show in March will see Porsche tuning specialist SpeedART unleash a slew of styling and performance goods for the 991 Carrera and Carrera S models branded under the SP91-R nameplate.

SpeedART is giving us our second look at the SP91-R package for the 2012 Porsche 911 after the release of a teaser image back in September while also providing more details on the components that will go on sale later this year.

For the exterior of the 2012 Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S models, the German tuner has prepared a variety of aero parts including a new CS rear wing and a front lip spoiler. At the Geneva Show, SpeedART will also show a more aggressive looking wide body kit.

Alloy wheel options include a new design with black spokes and a silver rim in sizes 20- and 21-inches.

Inside, SpeedART says it will offer numerous materials and colours for the seats, door panels and dashboard, as well as a sport steering wheel with F1-style shift paddles.

On the performance front, the SP91-R package will include different levels of power upgrades for both the 991 Carrera and Carrera S starting from a custom sport exhaust system with sport-catalysts and manifolds (optionally combined with a sound switch function) and an ECU remap, which alone adds 25HP and 20Nm of peak torque.

In addition, the German tuner has developed sports suspension kits for steer or track use and an airlift suspension system to help the 911 overcome obstacles on the road like speed bumps and parking ramps.
