TECHART is Alive, Fine , And Strong:)
Hello,
I work with the U.S. Distribution of TECHART product.
Please be assured that TECHART is not having any difficulties of any kind at this time. There is a tabloid publication in Germany that has produced an article which is being mis-interpreted. TECHART is in no way being held liable for any wrongdoing.
For clarification: Two individuals authorized to use materials at the Porsche research facility removed complete engine cores from the facility. They later were successful in selling these engines to a local Porsche dealer. This dealer had a history in selling engine cores to TECHART. Upon receiving these particular units TECHART realized that they were not of standard configuration and returned them to the dealer.
Later it was found by government officials that those units were amongst the group of materials removed from the research facility. TECHART complied with officials by supplying all documentation proving the purchase and return of the engines back to the dealer.
TECHART is not being held responsible for any wrong doing in this matter.
If you have any questions concerning this topic, feel free to contact us.

hey guys Tech Art is fine and there seem to be some errors in the rumor spread:
OFFICIAL TECHART PRESS RELEASE
PRESS RELEASE
Comment on investigation in conjunction with
thefts committed by Porsche AG employees
Recently it has been reported that employees of the Porsche AG stole engines
and parts from the Weissach development center and offered them on the open market.
Among others, TECHART has been part of an investigation and has become subject
of numerous press reports.
TECHART comments on the facts as follows:
TECHART was offered one used Porsche 997 Turbo engine by a car dealer
located in Leonberg. TECHART purchased this engine with an official bill from that
dealer and in good faith.
However, on evaluation TECHART found out that the delivered engine was not identical
with the offered product and therefore returned the engine to the vendor. That engine was
confiscated by the German prosecution authorities at the facilities of that car dealer.
TECHART did not have any knowledge of the origin of this engine. Other information, which
have been released in some press reports are not true. Throughout the media it has been
reported that several engines were seized at the facilities of TECHART. This is also not true.
TECHART has been surprised by this occurrence. Of course, TECHART will fully contribute
to clarify all facts in this matter and to resolve all suspicions.

Any reverse engineering? Please, the whole thing smells fishy. The fact is, only a few people in Germany know the truth, I commend you guys for circling the wagons but the truth will come out in the wash, in Germany.
I'll believe it when Porsche publicly clears TA, I'm from Missouri, you gotta show me!

Hey guys,
Just saw my link posted up here.
First of all, I sincerely apologize for the confusion I caused by posting the news on a German tabloid. TechArt did not shut down and this is an allegation against TechArt. Again, i posted some errenous information which shouldn't be posted in the first place.
Therefore, I deeply regretted my actions and offer my sincere apology to Techart GMBH and its customers.
Sincerely
Adam
