New 930hp Techart Magnum explodes into being
A nightmare of Trumpian proportions or the best and most appropriate way to the private terminal?
Typically when we’ve brought you news of Techart’s latest wares, it’s been in the shape of a wildly modified 911 - this being the tuner’s main stock in trade - but in fact, the German outfit will enthusiastically turn its hand to any Porsche product. Case in point, the Magnum, Techart’s version of the Cayenne, now in its fifth generation. The latest one, which seems less about simply modifying Porsche’s relatively low-key SUV and more about reimagining it through the prism of a fever dream, was revealed on the weekend - and, well, let’s just say it lives up to its name.
It being 2025, we’re well used to bodykitted makeovers that ‘leave a lasting impression’ (as Techart puts it) although plainly the Magnum is one of those meant to kick in the door of your imagination and take no prisoners. In point of fact, there are four versions: the base model Magnum; the Magnum Sport, which adds that centre exit diffuser; Magnum Unique, which allows even more customisation of the carbon fibre body parts; and Magnum First Edition, which, as the name suggests, is a limited run of 25 units worldwide that are individually numbered.
Suffice it to say, whichever derivative you choose is going to stand out on any British high street. Techart is particularly proud of the Sport Exhaust System poking through its rear diffuser and suggests that its chosen ‘acoustic signature commands attention’ - although clearly it’ll be cashing a cheque already written by the bodywork, which combines completely redesigned bumpers with a barrage of sills and wheel arches and intakes too numerous and prodigious to list. Techart says the Magnum kit is ‘available plug-and-play for every Cayenne variant’ so theoretically speaking there is nothing to stop you.
The firm is equally enthusiastic about getting busy under its redesigned bonnet: it doesn’t exactly go into exhaustive detail here, although it does suggest that if you turn up with a Turbo GT, it’ll have the Magnum outputting 930hp and 811lb ft of torque before you can say ‘moist’ thanks to a Techart Power Kit and associated engine management system. The result will apparently surge to 62mph in 2.7 seconds; plenty quick enough to speed you away from any disapproving looks. And you won’t need to worry about those anyway if there’s a Gulfstream waiting for you at the private terminal, as the pictures suggest there ought to be. Or as Techart puts it: ‘The Magnum is more than just a vehicle. It’s a statement.’ Hard to quibble with that.
"feature large in their “showing off to a beat” music videos"?? Boy, if you don't get your tired, cliched, old ass out of here...
Gruesome thing, for people with no class or taste other than low and bad.
Who ‘designs’ these monstrosities and actually stands back thinking ‘well, I’ve aced that’?
Because to me it looks like it came from the design house of ‘S Wonder & R Charles’..
You do not like it? Well, someone does. Why not? Are you saying, you never modified your car in your life? And you all drive superboring station wagons probably.
Reminds me of my Ioniq5N, only my car is prettier
On a side note, this will never go 2.7/60. 3+ sure.
