The standard Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet was never really lacking in the performance department with its 480 horsepower engine, top speed of 193mph, and a 0-60mph time of just 3.8 seconds. This hasn’t stopped tuning firm TechArt from giving an already amazing car a few tweaks. The company will be using the Geneva Auto Show to debut their new GTstreet convertible which is based on the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet.

TechArt’s GTstreet convertible features a powerful 630 horsepower engine which allows the car to reach a top speed of 345 km/h (214 mph). Being shown along side the new convertible is TechArt’s GTstreet coupe which debuted at last year’s auto show. The company considers their GTstreet vehicles to be among the fastest and highest performing road-worthy sport cars in the world.
