Porsche 996 Turbo renamed to Manta

Real experts will know, the Porsche 996 was the first Porsche to have an water-cooled engine, after fifty years of air-cooled engines. The Porsche 996 wasn't the most popular generation 911, but it was a milestone for Porsche. The men from OK-Chiptuning built the so-called Manta-Porsche based on the 996. They conciously chose for the Turbo, because that one could easily be boosted up to 650 bhp. But that's not the end of the story.

Various parts of TechArt can be found at the car, also the spoiler and wheels. To improve the handling of the car, a set of KW-springs is mounted to the car, and the seats are replaced by Recaro seats. To make the car look like the original Manta, the men visited Cam Shaft Premium Wrapping. With the three-colour wrap it isn't only extra striking, but also the mayor reference to its obscure predecessor. The name, by the way, comes from the cult group Manta-Manta, which described the Porsche 996 like the boiled egg-Porsche.
