There are plenty of tuners ready to sell you a tweaked Porsche Cayenne. Techart has done just that for years, and now the latest Cayenne is ready for the company’s Magnum treatment. This goes way beyond the aero kit we saw last year. There are vents upon vents, bold wheel arches, carbon fiber to spare, and up to 930 horsepower under the hood. Say hello to the new Techart Magnum.
The conversion starts with carbon fiber. Lots of it. Techart states a “significant portion of the bodywork” is now made of the lightweight composite. That includes everything in front of the A-pillar, as well as the rear fascia and the extensive body kit. Aside from bolting on extremely aggressive bumpers, Techart creates side skirts that blend with big widebody wheel arches. These “arches” dominate the fenders, while further up, there’s a choice of wild or wilder rear wings, also made from carbon fiber.

The wing isn’t the only custom item. The rear fascia can host either quad-exhaust outlets at the corners or a new center-exit design. That requires buyers to also choose Techart’s special Sport Exhaust System, but if you’re a traditionalist, the company offers an upgraded exhaust with the standard exits as well.
When it comes to interiors, Techart is an open book. To showcase just how open it is, the company presents a very curious one-off wearing teal with purple accents.

As for power, that comes courtesy of Techart’s Power Kit. Specific details on the upgrades aren’t mentioned, but they involve hardware changes like new turbochargers as well as tuning enhancements to get the most out of the drivetrain. The result is 930 horsepower, 811 pound-feet of torque, and an estimated top speed that’s electronically limited to 205 mph. Perhaps more impressive is the sprint from zero to 62 mph (100 kph), which takes only 2.6 seconds. That’s quick enough to run with virtually any street-legal hypercar currently on sale.
Techart offers four versions of its modified Porsche. The Magnum adds just the prolific body kit, while the Magnum Sport includes the center-exit exhaust. Magnum Unique is essentially a blank page to create custom color, trim, and performance options. And finally, there’s the Magnum First Edition. Limited to 25 units, each will have special design touches and performance tweaks unique to the trim.
Techart doesn’t mention pricing for any of these Magnum variants. It’s safe to assume the sticker price will be just as extreme as their appearance.
