Based on the Porsche Cayenne comes to the new Magnum. The SUV has been outfitted in strong quality materials that lend a look of high-class modification to the Porsche people mover. TechArt has added notable features like side air intakes, bumper, and front spoilers. If you're wondering what's different about the shape of the fenders, TechArt has modified that, too. The wheel arches have been extended to flow better with the side skirts and give the Magnum more of a distinctive look.
2. A spicier Cayenne
Now for the part that everyone probably wants to know when it comes to a modified vehicle wearing a Porsche badge: How much power is in it? There are actually three different flavors of power kit available for three different levels of sanity. The configurations are an increase of 35 horsepower for the cayenne S Diesel, and either a bump up of 80 or 180 horsepower for the Cayenne Turbo.
3. GrandGT
TechArt also brought along this 2017 Panamera Turbo that it dubbed the GrandGT. The car represents TechArt's pursuit of melding power, presence, and sense of uniqueness to their vehicles. At first glance, you'll recognize the proportions being wider from the body kit that has been added on. The kit actually makes the sport sedan wider by 3.1 inches. There are also new front and rear aprons, an integrated splitter, side skirts, and a new diffuser.

6. It goes how fast?!
Since the body kit added to the Turbo S is so demure, TechArt sought it better to be more a go instead of show category of car.

The Porsche also has a valve controlled sport exhaust for when other commuters need a bit of a wake-up alarm that this car is not be trifled with.
7. A superb 4S
