BTR-II 650 EVO by speedART

Bummed that your kids got all the Halloween candy? Do you want to treat yourself? Well look no further than speedART's BTR-II 650 EVO.

Based on the Porsche 911 Turbo (997), the BTR is sweeter than any sugar high. It features an aerodynamic body kit with a revised front bumper, new side skirts, a rear diffuser, and a modified wing for improved downforce. Additionally, the tuner installs an adjustable sport suspension and 20-inch LSC (Light Spoke Competition) wheels.

Power comes from a 3.8-liter flat-six which has been outfitted with larger turbochargers, new manifolds, and a sport exhaust. Thanks to these modifications, the engine produces 650 PS (478 kW / 641 hp) and over 900 Nm (664 lb-ft) of torque - an improvement of 150 PS (110 kW / 148 hp) and 150 Nm (110 lb-ft). Connected to an enhanced PDK transmission (which boasts eight rings per packet, instead of the usual six), the BTR accelerates from 0-200 km/h (0-124 mph) in just over nine seconds and has a top speed in excess of 335 km/h (208 mph).
