Porsche has just released information and images about its new aero body kit for the current 911 Turbo.

The extensive body kit features a deep front lip spoiler, as well as an entirely new engine cover, replete with a towering tea-tray style rear wing. Porsche tells us that job-one in the development of the aero kit, was to improve the handling characteristics of the car while maintaining the production car’s drag coefficient.

The kit indeed reduces lift of the 911 at high speeds at both the front and rear axles, which will provide customers with a degree of stability that wasn’t possible in the standard car. The whole thing comes together nicely, with all pieces of the kit painted to perfectly match the factory colors, and adding a shade of aggressiveness to the already bold 911 Turbo.

Though there is no price listed in dollars, Porsche does mention that the kit will go on immediate sale worldwide. European cost is €4,500.

New Aerokit for the Porsche 911 Turbo Coupé

Dr. Ing. h. c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, has developed a special Aerokit for the 911 Turbo Coupé. 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 Aerokit’s optimized streamlining blends ideally with the 490 PS high performance Coupé’s 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 Aerokit’s 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.
