McChip-DKR Transforms the Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS into a Racer

The closest you’ll avail to a sporty and athletic Porsche 911 with a Targa top is the 911 Targa 4 GTS. This all-wheel-drive sports car has lots of power on tap and all the creature comforts you could ever ask for to create an almost perfect daily driver. McChip-DKR’s team provided one customer with an even more exotic taste of speed with their new build.

The newest car built by the German team at McChip-DKR began life as a Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS. The customer demanded a much sportier, more hardcore look, so McChip-DKR approached to the Porsche parts bin and raided the GT3 RS catalog. The front and rear bumpers, side panels, and fenders were replaced with color-matched, corresponding units from the 911 GT3 RS, instantly offering the 911 Targa 4 GTS a more frightening look. The team left off the large rear spoiler because of the automatic Targa roof.

McChip-DKR put efforts on improving the chassis of the sports car. Here, the 911 Targa 4 GTS was equipped with a new height-adjustable KW suspension for making more dynamic handling along with a new set of Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) off of the 911 GT3 RS. From there, the 911 GT3 RS center-locking wheels measuring 20 x 9.0 upfront and 21 x 12.0 at the rear with sticky 265/35 ZR20 and 325/30 ZR21 tires were put-in. Because of the fact that center-locking wheels cannot be grouped up with wheel spacers, the front wheels were modified to sit flush with the fenders for a crystal clear look.

The team at McChip-DKR optimized the new twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six engine in the Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS. Here, they put-in their ‘Stage 3’ upgrade package that comprises of mc580 turbochargers, software optimization, and a Capristo valve-controlled exhaust system ending in 911 GT3 RS tailpipes in the center of the bumper. After the upgrades, the McChip-DKR tuned Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS generates a whopping 675 horsepower and 498 lb-ft. of torque.

Inside, the Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS was equipped with a classic “Pepita” pattern for an old-school, old look and feel.

If you’re seeking to get an open-top experience with a sharp-edged, track-focused dynamics, then the team at McChip-DKR may be able to assist you after their latest Porsche 911 Targa 4 GTS conversion. All of the modified features are currently available from the German tuning company.
