Techart launches a new Flyweight line of track-focused parts. To highlight what is possible, the tuner is building 19 copies of the GTstreet R Flyweight based on the Porsche 911 Turbo S.
Techart revises the exterior of the Porsche by adding a carbon fiber front splitter and side fins with canards. For protection on the trail there is a skid plate under the nose. The hood is also made of carbon and has quick releases. On the sides there are wider front fenders with air outlets on the rear edge.

At the rear, the car receives a two-level wing with air intakes. The top section has three settings for adjustment depending on the downforce requirements of a specific track. The rear window is made of polycarbonate to reduce vehicle weight.
“Our goal with the GTstreet R Flyweight was to create a true track machine,” said Tobias Beyer, Managing Director of Techart Automobildesign GmbH. “Through consistent weight reduction, advanced racing technology and Techart performance enhancements combined with a refined Flyweight clubsport interior, we have created a unique package.”
GTstreet R Flyweight gets Techart’s TA092/T2.1 Powerkit which consists of new turbos, air filters, hand-welded exhaust, and more. The resulting output is 789 horsepower (588 kilowatts) and 701 pound-feet (950 Newton-meters) of torque. For comparison, a stock 911 Turbo S has 640 hp and 590 lb-ft.
Techart estimates the GTstreet R Flyweight hits 62 miles per hour in 2.5 seconds and 124 mph in 7.5 seconds. Top speed is over 218 mph (350 km/h).
The tuned car gets an Öhlins coilover suspension. The forged wheels are 20 inches in diameter up front and 21 inches in diameter at the rear. Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tires surround them.
Inside, occupants sit in Recaro Podium CF seats with 3D-printed upholstery and six-point harnesses. There are no rear seats, but a roll bar is there.
All 19 GTstreet R Flyweight buyers can fully customize the appearance of their cars. For example, exposed carbon can be matte or high gloss, and a full palette of paint shades is available. Customers can also customize the cabin.
Techart is taking orders now but won’t disclose pricing for this heavily tuned Porsche.
