Porsche has just announced the Aerokit Turbo for the 991 Turbo and Turbo S. Wind tunnel developed and Weissach tested, the kit increases downforce on both front and rear axles, in the case of the latter applying up to 150kg of pressure.
The kit comprises a front bib spoiler package and a completely new rear deck that includes a fixed trailing edge to the spoiler along with outer winglets, and an automatic wing section that has an adjustable angle of attack.
The Aerokit Turbo can be ordered in black or body colour and can be specified from new or retro-fitted.
