No. That is the standard aero kit for the turbo. The same aerokit that has been used since the 996TT. Real innovative.

What else do you get besides the wing w/ that kit & what's the cost been in the past? Have they offered the centerlocks b4 also?

Ummm.... perhaps there was no need to change it, as in maybe it works just fine! Sure looks good, although it seems it is not too common.

Want to bet that someone somewhere gets a legitimate, documented 2.9x second 0-60 out of a stock Car with PDK?

That can be said for the whole car then... IMO they need to come out with a new "aero kit". Speaking of the kit, The front lip, rear lip and "sideskirts" are nothing new, just painted. All you get is a spoiler. Same deal with the aero kit for the cayenne. All thats really added is sideskirts. Major rip off. You are better off going and getting the spoiler from the dealership, then have a bodyshop paint it along with the existing black lower moldings.
