On top of being squarely Singer Porsche territory, that's a space with plenty of competition.Techart's GT Classic reimagines the Porsche 911 with some eye-catching details. Just look at those mesh grilles and light signatures. - Credit: TechartTo distinguish its offering, Techart focused on creating a car that "takes the classic to the next level instead of reinventing it." It makes for a balanced approach that promises a reasonable daily driver.AdvertisementAdvertisementAccordingly, output for the 3.8-liter flat-six tops out at 374 horsepower. Rather than chasing outright power, Techart prioritized the "interplay of the entire vehicle."The ducktail spoiler and center exhaust give the 964 a distinctly performance-focused look. - Credit: TechartHowever, it still brings its fair share of choice performance refinements.From a specially developed exhaust system and some carbon fiber surrounds to the motorsports-derived engine mounts and turbo braking system, every component is tuned for a "palpable connection to the car and the road."Sharp air-cooled designWhile it might be Techart's classic debut, you'd never know it based on the cohesiveness of the visuals.Techart's GTClassic goes heavy on the details. - Credit: TechartAround the outside, the GTclassic wears a long front hoot, some broad fender flares and a series of mesh-covered grille accents.
