The visually arresting TechArt Magnum is proof that 4x4s can
outgun super cars in the power stakes.
Based on the already brutal 450bhp Porsche Cayenne Turbo, the
Magnum’s bodywork and engine have been extensively reworked by renowned German
Porsche specialist, TechArt, to deliver a whopping 600bhp.
The latest powerhouse from the Teutonic tuning firm will
be on display at this year’s theatrical car-fest, MPH’06 (Birmingham, NEC 26th-29th
October and London’s Earls Court 2nd-5th November).
The new TechArt machine pumps out its Pagani Zonda rivalling
power thanks to a heavily modified twin turbo V8 engine. Despite weighing in at
over 2300 kilogrammes, the Magnum is capable of accelerating to 60 mph in a Lamborghini
Gallardo humbling 4.5 seconds.
Where speed limits allow, TechArt’s ultimate interpretation of
the Cayenne will reach 183 mph; impressive for a supercar, unbelievable for a
4x4.
Visitors to the show will also be treated to the sights and
sounds of a host of dream cars being tested to their limits in a £1 million
choreographed stunt show.
