The Porsche 911 (991) Turbo S, which forms the basis for this impressive 1/18 model, is an absolute masterpiece of automotive art. The 991 generation of the Porsche 911 was built from 2011 to 2019. This generation marked a technological evolution for Porsche, with a focus on performance and efficiency. Legendary designer Michael Mauer contributed significantly to the design of this model, creating an icon that impresses both on the road and on the racetrack.
The original Porsche 911 (991) Turbo S features a 3.8-liter six-cylinder boxer engine with biturbo charging that produces a whopping 580 hp. With acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 2.9 seconds and a top speed of 330 km/h, this vehicle is a real powerhouse. Other technical highlights include the all-wheel drive, ceramic brakes and the active chassis PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management), which ensure outstanding driving dynamics. The on-board computer system PCM (Porsche Communication Management) offers the driver state-of-the-art connectivity and navigation.
The model on which this miniature model is based was refined by TechArt, a renowned German tuning company. TechArt was founded in 1987 and has since made a name for itself as one of the leading refiners of Porsche vehicles. The company is known for its high-quality conversions and upgrades that improve both the aesthetics and performance of the vehicles. This 1/18 model reflects the technical and visual upgrades that TechArt has made to the Porsche 911 Turbo S. Special design elements such as the eye-catching rear spoiler and the aerodynamic side skirts contribute to increased performance and an impressive appearance.
The striking white paintwork with blue and grey accents gives the model a sporty yet elegant look. This special paintwork is not only a visual highlight, but also contributes to the aerodynamic efficiency of the vehicle. The Porsche 911 Turbo S has also appeared in several well-known films and TV series, including the "Fast & Furious" film series and the "Top Gear" series, where its impressive performance and elegant design were highlighted.
