2008 Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe Aero Kit
(from Porsche Press
Release) Dr. Ing. h. c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, has
developed a special Aerokit for the 911 Turbo Coup. It includes a
front spoiler lip and an entirely new engine cover design with fixed
aerofoil.
The characteristic front lip and the distinctive rear spoiler lend
the typical turbo silhouette an even more dynamic appearance. The
Porsche development center engineers in Weissach attached the
greatest possible importance to aerodynamic functionality. The most
important objective among the components refined in the wind tunnel
was to improve the handling characteristics, given an unchanged drag
coefficient of 0.31 compared with the production version.
This ensures that the Aerokits optimized streamlining blends
ideally with the 490 PS high performance Coups harmonious overall
design and enabled further reductions of the lift coefficients on
the front and rear axles. This ensures an even more stable drive at
high speed.
The aerodynamically coordinated front and rear components may only
be fitted together. Compared with the standard 900 Turbo, the door
sill trim and the rear skirt are painted in body color as well as
the Aerokits add-on parts.
The Aerokit costs 4,500 euros (excluding VAT) when ordered at the
same time as purchasing a new vehicle from Porsche Exclusive in
Germany. If the parts are retrofitted, they can be purchased from
Porsche Tequipment at a cost of 4,100 euros (excluding painting and
assembly as well as VAT). The Aerokit is available with immediate
effect worldwide.
