PRESS RELEASE:
German-Swiss Precision:
The TechArt Interior Line de Sede of Switzerland

Exclusive automobile interiors have gained TechArt Automobildesign worldwide fame and recognition. The Swiss furniture manufacturer de Sede occupies the same lofty position in the area of seating furniture. The idea of combining the unique qualities of both companies in new automotive creations was born in 2006. At the Geneva Motor Show 2007 they present a 600-hp / 442-kW TechArt MAGNUM featuring the new TechArt interior line 'de Sede of Switzerland.'

de Sede was founded more than 50 years ago, and is run by its two owners, Hans-Peter Fässler and Bernhard Schüler. Privateer Fässler is a passionate art and car enthusiast. The world-renowned manufacturer of exclusive luxury furniture is home in Klingnau, Switzerland. Only cows from Switzerland and southern Germany are used to make the various types of de Sede leathers. de Sede sells its chairs, sofas and tables in 120 countries around the globe.

With the TechArt interior line 'de Sede of Switzerland' these exquisite materials now also find their way into the automobile. The exclusive de Sede leathers are specially treated to account for the harsh climate conditions in an automobile.

TechArt Automobildesign's company-own upholstery shop places utmost importance on perfect workmanship down to the last detail. Highly experienced upholsterers transform the high-quality de Sede leathers into covers for seats, doors, dashboard, roof pillars and headliner.

In addition to choice de Sede leathers the seats also feature a unique soft-touch padding structure with areas of gradual firmness that are custom-tailored to the human body. The result is exceptional seating comfort combined with excellent lateral support.

Maximum comfort is paramount in the rear compartment too: Custom-developed individual seats for the rear mirror the front-seat design, and come with a custom-tailored center console covered with the finest de Sede leather. The integrated compartment for drinks, snacks and storage is lined with elegant Microsede material and features illuminated glass holders for the two Rosenthal® glasses with engraved TechArt MAGNUM logo. A small refrigerated compartment is hidden behind a precious-wood lid between the rear seatbacks.

The TechArt interior line 'de Sede of Switzerland' also features a state-of-the-art multimedia system. Two LCD touch screens are integrated into the back of the front headrests. Rear passengers can choose between watching a DVD on the 6-disc DVD changer or programs from the integrated digital TV tuner. They also serve as monitors for playing games on a Playstation2 game console. The sound is carried by wireless RF hi-fi headphones.

Color-coordinated carpets with de Sede leather borders and embroidered TechArt logo round out the design concept in the interior and even in the trunk. TechArt further adds color-coordinated instruments, sporty aluminum or hand-made precious-wood applications as well as a sport-steering wheel covered with comfortable de Sede.

With the TechArt interior line 'de Sede of Switzerland' the two partners offer a unique interior design that brings the legendary comfort of a de Sede sofa to the automobile.

The MAGNUM is based on the Porsche Cayenne Turbo. With it, TechArt Automobildesign offers not just exclusive interior design but also dominating power and a strikingly styled exterior.

With the TechArt TA 048/T3 performance kit the twin-turbo V8 engine delivers 600 hp / 442 kW and a peak torque of 865 Nm. The 4x4 storms from rest to 100 km/h in just 4.5 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 292 km/h.

The perfect complement to the power kit is the TechArt fully stainless-steel TechArt sport exhaust system. Cayenne owners can choose to combine the rear muffler with the stock tailpipes of the car or with four chrome-plated TechArt tailpipes.

The fender flares of the TechArt MAGNUM body conversion add eight centimeters to the width of the SUV from Zuffenhausen. That means there's room for king-size 10Jx22 one-piece TechArt Formula or the new Formula II multi-piece design light-alloy wheels all around. The ContiCrossContact UHP tires in size 295/30 ZR 22 on front and rear axles are approved on the Cayenne for speeds up 300 km/h.

The TechArt MAGNUM front apron looks great with its strikingly styled large air inlets. It features two fog lamps and two high beams, and its refined shape reduces lift on the front axle at high speeds.

The TechArt MAGNUM side sills form a harmonious transition between front and rear fender flares.

The TechArt MAGNUM rear apron features custom cutouts for the two intertwined oval-shaped tailpipes of the stainless-steel TechArt sport exhaust system. An integrated diffuser helps reduce lift on the rear axle.

TechArt Automobildesign further refines the Cayenne body with headlight moldings, a three-piece tail lamp molding and a rear panel that carries the shape of the rear apron over to the tailgate.

The new TechArt hood is strikingly styled and features air outlets for improved venting of hot air from the engine bay, thus contributing to a thermally healthy engine.
TechArt Automobildesign also modifies the suspension of the widened Cayenne extensively. For vehicles equipped with air suspension there is the TechArt sport module, which can lower the ride height of the SUV for on-road operations by up to 60 millimeter. For tough off-road use the ride height can be increased by up to 70 millimeters.
TechArt Automobildesign can also refine the Cayenne interior in countless ways. The options for the Porsche Cayenne range from exclusive cockpit accessories to the completion of the leather interior available ex-factory to an entirely new individual TechArt fully leather interior. Also available is a stylishly integrated state-of-the-art multimedia system.

Re: TechArt Magnum @ 2007 Geneva Auto Show

An exercise in how to make an ugly car even uglier, I'd say.
 
Re: TechArt Magnum @ 2007 Geneva Auto Show

However, the interior is a different story. It is hand-made by the Swiss company de Sede -- which is one of the most prestigious furniture manufacturers in the world -- I am familiar with their furniture and as far as quality is concerned, it doesn't get better than this.

The new TechArt SUV is aptly named, for it is a weapon. What was once a Porsche Cayenne Turbo has become a multi-passenger super exotic with radical looks and engine upgrades that’ll shove most sports cars to the curb. The Magnum gets the same basic engine upgrades as the 997 Turbo — including new turbochargers and exhaust system and a recalibrated ECU — only these are applied to the 2007 Cayenne’s 4.5-liter V-8. Output is now 600 bhp and 645 lb.-ft. of torque peaking at 3440 rpm. As powerful as this engine is, it’s how the Magnum looks that first grabs your attention.
The TechArt SUV sits so low to the ground that it no longer seems like an SUV, but rather a strange amalgamation of station wagon and exotic car. When taken in completely, the Magnum is as mean and funky as leather underwear, highlighted by a radical front end. Special headlight covers, side skirts and restyled bumpers complete the transformation. The aero kit costs about $5000.
From the driver’s seat, the Magnum feels like a sports car. While the SUV’s acceleration is impressive — running to 60 mph in an amazing 4.2 seconds and to the quarter-mile in 12.7 — it’s the Magnum’s high-speed stability that marvels. There’s lots of oomph down low, but when you reach speeds of more than 100 mph, the aero kit starts working, providing massive downforce both front and rear. At 150 mph, the 5245-lb. load seems to simply push oncoming air out of the way as the speedometer needle keeps climbing.
And the Magnum corners like no other SUV, thanks in part to TechArt’s suspension kit. Turn-in is crisp, and although you can feel the SUV’s heaviness through tight turns, its overall balance is surprisingly neutral.
That the Magnum is special is evident upon first glance. The price is special, too. The modifications on our test car cost $109,838. Add that to the price of a Porsche Cayenne Turbo ($93,700) and you have a grand total of $203,538. Claus Ettensberger, president of CEC, which has tuning centers in Beverly Hills, Miami and Newport Beach, says he expects to sell about 30 a year. Yes, the price of membership in the “World’s Fastest SUV” club is high, but exclusivity is ensured.

TechArt Magnum based on Cayenne Facelift


The new TECHART Magnum Based on the Latest Porsche Cayenne


With more than 500 produced units the Magnum is the most successful model in the 20-year history of TECHART Automobildesign. At the Frankfurt International Auto Show IAA 2007 the new TECHART Magnum based on the latest Porsche Cayenne celebrates its world debut.

Like its predecessor the new TECHART Magnum sets itself apart with a spectacular aerodynamic-enhancement package that fits all versions of the Porsche SUV. All body components are manufactured from PUR-RIM plastic in OEM quality.

The curved TECHART fender flares add eight centimeters to the width of the Cayenne. The Magnum rocker panels provide a fluent transition between the wider wheel arches.

The new aprons for front and rear that replace their production counterparts were designed to correspond visually to the more pronounced contours of the wheel arches. The TECHART Magnum front apron lends the latest Cayenne generation an even more striking appearance. Its large air inlets feature elegantly styled slats and provide ample cooling air for radiators and front brakes. A total of four auxiliary headlights and daytime running lights improve active safety.

The TECHART Magnum rear apron with integrated diffuser reduces lift on the rear axle and provides the perfect backdrop for the TECHART stainless-steel sport exhaust system with two chrome tailpipes on either side.

The body conversion can be rounded out with moldings for front and rear lights, as well as with a new hood that features two air outlets that optimize heat balance in the engine bay.

The Magnum also features custom-tailored wheels and tires. The largest possible version features TECHART Formula II light-alloy wheels in size 10.5Jx22 in front and in size 11,5Jx22 in the rear. For optimal tires TECHART chose ContiCrossContact UHP tires in sizes 295/30 ZR 22 and 335/25 ZR 22, which are approved on the Cayenne for a top speed of 300 km/h.
These tires also make the Magnum a prime candidate for the engine tuning of the Cayenne Turbo that is currently under development and in its most powerful incarnation will produce up to 620 hp / 456 kW.

The air suspension of the Cayenne Turbo is modified with the TECHART sport module that lowers the ride height for enthusiastic on-road driving by 30 millimeters. The entire range of adjustment from the lowest ride height (loading level) to the highest (special off-road level) measures some 110 millimeters.

The TECHART Magnum repertoire also includes countless interior options. The range of products starts with exclusive accessories such as an ergonomically shaped sport steering wheel and carbon-fiber applications for the cockpit, available in a number of different colors.

Requests for an even higher degree of customization can be fulfilled with exclusive TECHART fully leather interiors in any color and design imaginable.
The TECHART interior line de Sede of Switzerland, created in cooperation with the Swiss furniture manufacturer, represents an especially exclusive option. The high-quality de Sede leather skins are transformed by the company-own TECHART upholstery shop into meticulously finished upholstery for seats, door and side trim, dashboard, roof pillars and headliner.

Yet another specialty of the German customization specialists are state-of-the-art multimedia systems.

Re: TechArt Magnum based on Cayenne Facelift

"Wowww" this is a cutely-aggressive truck, rear end looks great :usa7uh:...!

IMO, all they need to change is rim's color & that's it :D...!
 
Re: TechArt Magnum based on Cayenne Facelift

It looks mad. the painted rims and the quad fog lights in the front bumper is a bit too much though.
 
Re: TechArt Magnum based on Cayenne Facelift

Amazing:bowdown:
I may have to change my opinion now before i thought that Gemballa made a better Cayenne but now this just changes the game a little bit.
 
Re: TechArt Magnum based on Cayenne Facelift

Not bad... but still a little over-the-top for me.
