Austrian tuner Königseder has released a new body kit for the discontinued Porsche Carrera GT. The GT was and still is the most powerful Porsche ever built even though production stopped in 2006 after a three-year run.

The Königseder kit features alloy wheels and a deeper exhaust note. A new front end featuring a redesigned front bumper that makes a sharp statement of performance. Chunky side skirts give the car a wider and more aggressive look. The rear end has a new bumper, extra air vents, a larger air diffuser and a large fixed rear wing.

The tuner opted to keep the factory 5.7-litre naturally aspirated V10 engine that produces 612bhp (457kW) and 590Nm of torque. Fitted to the standard Carrera GT it helped it go from 0 - 60mph in 3.8 seconds with a top speed rated at 330km/h.
