According to the tuner, the kit has been optimized to increase downforce at high speeds.

The Turbo model can be equipped with a pair of LED daytime running lights while all models get a set of new dual oval stainless steel tailpipes. Buyers can also choose between 20- and 21-inch alloy wheels.

For the interior, TechArt's program comprises of a unique two-colour leather finishing in teak and black with matching decorative stitching and a roof liner in the same colored Alcantara. A new sport steering wheel along with instrument dials in individual colours and special decorative elements for the center console, dashboard, and doors options are also in the mix.
