Default Carrera GT to get additional power by Sportec

As it is written on Sportec's webpage this well-known german tuner wants to offer some improvements for the cgt...These tweaks will contain both look and power..Two stages of power increase are about come and the final power should reach roughly 660hp in the first stage and even more than 700hp in the second stage.Wonder how this thing will go

if they can get even more from that car, more power to them, i thought porsche maxed it out, but i guess you can always get more.

lol, already people are finding their cgt's not fast enought. that's awesome.

Well i find it natural -after lots of rides in cgt you'll be used to the power and you'll need more to get your mind blown.

There is also a biturbo kit which is probably being prepared by "9ff" to help the engine produce approximately 1000hp...9ff will also provide some stuff engines aside just like Sportec.

i'm not sure i like the turbocharger idea. The only car i know of that makes lots of topend (which is what a CGT is geared for) is a bugatti EB110, and i'm not sure how they pulled that off. More horse is nice, but i don't know if it's worthwhile at the cost of repsonsiveness.

Well, u must be rich, to understand these people, cause I surely don't: the car is already a technical masterpiece. But I guess all people like to play and this is what rich car fans play with.

Nonetheless, I can't help but recognize that that spoiler looks so much better .

surely you can add more, but is it right? for more money, the vatican could add to the sistine chapel, make it more prestine, more beautiful and grand, but would it be the beautiful art afterwards?

I doubt a person could ever get used to an over 600 hp. sports car. Especially your average moneybags customer who is probably incapable of safely exploiting the car's limits to begin with. The stock acceleration numbers of the CGT are rapid and violent enough.

The reason tuners are planning to get more power from the car is because they can, and are in the business of doing so. And as long as they do, there will always be some rich maniac who has to have more, plain and simple. There is really no other purpose for it.

True, however, this upgrade isn't devoted for an average moneybags customer....In spite of the fact i think i would get used to this power if i owned one i would hardly let anybody get his hands on it no matter whether it is Sportec or especially 9ff.

The upgrades are intended for who ever has the cash to pay for it. Whether it be Hans Stuck or Billy Bob Thornton. Thats' the funny thing about super high performance upgrades. It doesn't discriminate who has access to them so long as you have the cheese.

Hmm, movie stars buying special edition, high performance porsches because they have the money not the skill.

didn't something like that permanently immortalize james dean as young and hansome?
