Modified Porsche 911 Turbo by TuneRS Motorsports

Our featured business today is TuneRS Motorsports, a performance shop specializing in Porsche vehicles in Coral Springs, Florida. And their featured vehicle is a modified 2001 (996) Porsche 911 Turbo.

The owner wanted to convert it into something completely different and unique. When presented the idea of making a wide “wide body” turbo, he immediately jumped on it.

The car is not meant to be a full race car, but more of a club racer that is still “streetable” every day. Stage one of this car was to eliminate as much weight as possible before getting into engine management and upgrades.

Here is what we ended up modifying:

Interior:

• 2 MOMO SuperCup Club seats with G-Force 6 point harnesses
• 993 RS Style Leather Steering Wheel with Porsche crest
• Air Conditioning still functional (it gets hot in Florida)
• Radio and sound system removal
