Oh wow, so this could be the end of TechArt... Sad, they have some nice stuff.

Sounds like TechArt is gpoing to be screwed. I wonder how replacing parts for damaged Techart/Porsche products will be handled in the future? :rolleyes:

If they really did buy the engines knowing they were stolen, that was a pretty dumb move.

Interesting!

Imagine you bring your Boxster in for a 997 engine swap and you drive off with a Porsche 2012 flux capacitor in the engine bay!!

it says Tech Art was provided with a bill of sale. Which doesn't sound like something you do if you are trying to rip off Porsche.

but I think 2 Porsche employees were arrested also..... hence, it implies there may have been collusion to defraud and steal from Porsche...

I'm sure more info will come out. Sounds a bit like a plot line from a Fast and Furious movie..... LOL
