Sportec has unveiled its new interpretation of the Porsche 997 Turbo, the SP580. The number 580 stands for the power available on the most powerful variant. In order to reach 580bhp, the Swiss tuner reprogrammed the car’s ECU and added two in-house turbochargers. The torque reaches 564lb-ft/765Nm. The car also receives a new exhaust system and reinforced clutch.
The braking system has been improved by replacing the standard system by a new six-piston callipers system and larger 380mm brake discs. A sports suspension kit has also been fitted, including firmer springs and new shock absorbers. All these improvements help the SP580 to reach 210mph/338km/h and run the 0-60mph in 3.4s.
If 580bhp is too much for you, it is possible to start with the entry-level, which produces ‘only’ 530bhp. This is still 50bhp more than the standard 911 Turbo.
