The Stuttgart based sports car manufacturer is launching new equipment for individual retrofitting, among which the new aerokit that can fit the 2010 Porsche 911 Carrera.
First on the ‘tequipment’ list are the 19 inch Sport Classic wheels featuring the 5-spoke design with the rim star painted in black and for which production will be limited to only 250 units. These new rims come wrapped in new tires (235/35 ZR 19 – front and 305/30 ZR 19 – rear) and pricing per set is 5,569 Euros.
The next elements are the three-spoke sports steering wheel equipped with paddle shifters for the PDK gearbox which costs 940 Euros and the new Sport Design front apron that fits on all versions of the 911 Carrera and
911 Targa in the 997 model series and which carries a price tag of 2,368 Euros.
Finally there is also the 2010 Porsche 911 Carrera aerokit for which customers will have to pay 4,522 Euro and which includes a new front apron with central trim bars and a new spoiler lip that have been optimized in the wind tunnel.
Porsche press release :
Stuttgart. Four new retrofit highlights from Dr.
Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, are dedicated entirely to the
spirit of sporting performance. Particularly the 19-inch Sport Classic
wheels in the unmistakable look of Porsche’s legendary Fuchs rims
developed especially for the 911 Sport Classic built in a production run
of just 250 units are an outstanding example of Porsche’s history and a
striking design feature of the 911 Carrera.
Re-interpreted in
individual style, the wheels in five-spoke design with the rim star
painted black, the wheel hump in gloss-lathed finish, and the Porsche
logo in colour on the wheel hub, are a genuine eye-catcher. Introduced
by Porsche for the first time in 1966, these unique wheels are now
making an outstanding come-back. The new wheels measure 8.5 J x 19 ET 55
and come together with tyres in 235/35 ZR 19 (front) and, respectively,
11.5 J x 19 ET 50 with tyres in 305/30 ZR 19 (rear) on all current
all-wheel-drive models of the 911 Carrera and Targa as well as the 911
Turbo at an all-in price per set of Euro 5,569.20 including VAT (cars
with tyre pressure control Euro 5,866.70).
Another particularly
sporting feature is the three-spoke sports steering wheel with gearshift
paddles for the PDK transmission already well known from the new 911
Turbo. Starting immediately, this unique leather steering wheel with
gearshift paddles behind the right and left steering wheel spokes
carried over from motorsport is available at a price of Euro 940.10
including VAT also for individual retrofitting on all versions of the
911, Boxster, Cayman, and Panamera with PDK and, starting in August
2010, on the new Cayenne with Tiptronic S.
The high-quality
shift paddles are naturally made of metal. Through their stretched
sickle shape, the gearshift paddles allow the driver to shift gears
manually with perfect ease, from a wide range of individual holding
positions on the steering wheel. The driver shifts up on the right and
down on the left.
The newly developed Aerokit Cup available on
all versions of the 911 Carrera Coupé shows a close and direct link to
the fastest brand trophy in the world, the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. At
the front of the car the most outstanding feature is the new apron with
its striking trim bars in the centre air intake and the characteristic
spoiler lip. At the rear the unique rear lid with the wing fitted in
position takes up the highly successful design of the former model. It
almost goes without saying that all components have been optimised in
Porsche’s wind tunnel to improve both driving behaviour and
aerodynamics.
Already available on new cars at a price of Euro
4,968.25 including VAT, the Aerokit Cup may now also be retrofitted on
current models of the 911. In this case the price from Porsche
Tequipment is Euro 4,522.00 including VAT, plus fitting and paintwork.
While
so far the Aerokit with its particularly sporting look was not
available to drivers of the 911 Cabriolet and Targa (997), the new,
striking Sport Design front apron now closes this gap, with the spoiler
lip matched aerodynamically to the regular rear spoiler. Naturally, the
new front panel also fits on all other versions of the 911 Carrera and
911 Targa in the 997 model series. Finished in the same colour as the
car itself, the front apron in Sport Design blends harmoniously with the
overall contours and silhouette of the 911.
The Aerokit retails
on new cars at a price of Euro 2,368.10 including VAT and is available
from Porsche Exclusive. It may also be retrofitted individually by
Porsche Tequipment at a price of Euro 2,159.85 including VAT, plus the
cost of fitting and paintwork.
