The Porche 997 SpeedART BTR-XS

The Porsche 997 GT2 is the pinnacle of the  911s, but SpeedART has taken it up a notch.Starting with the 997s twin-turbocharged flat-six, SpeedART modified the stock snails, replaced the headers, fitted a new exhaust with freer flowing cats, installed larger intercoolers and used a Motronic ECU to tune it to perfection. The result was a total of 650 hp and 634 lb.-ft. of torque, propelling the BTR-XS 650 to 60 in 3.2 seconds and on to a top speed of 216 mph.

No word on what the upgrades cost, but if you already have a 997 in the garage, you're probably not going to sweat it that much. Also, along with the engine modifications, SpeedART offers a large number of upgrades for the interior also.
