Sportec returns with hotter, lighter SPR1R

There seems no shortage of tuners committed to joining the word "Porsche" with the word "faster." Today's faster 911 comes via Swiss tuner Sportec in the battle-gray guise of the SPR1R. A refined version of the SPR1 the company debuted last year, this one sticks with the 3.6-liter, 846-horsepower twin turbo powerplant and other mods of the original, and adds items like carbon and Kevlar body panels and forged wheels.

On top of that, Other components swapped for lighter versions help shave more than 100 pounds compared to the weight of last year's car. The SPR1R is now a dainty 2,849 pounds. Getting to 62 miles per hour takes just 3 seconds, and top speed is listed at a tidy 236 mph. More info is in the press release after the jump, and you can see it on show at the Salon Privé in London later this month. Or just head straight for the gallery of high-res photos right now.
