Exclamation AWE Tuning’s answer to 991 Wind Buffeting. Introducing “The Foiler™,” coming soon.

You know that sound that happens when your window is down at speed, that makes it feel like your head is going to implode?

That’s called Wind Buffeting. It happens when you’re moving fast, and it’s quite the issue on the newest generation of Porsche 991s (including our new in house 991 TT, more on that soon!). So instead of just letting our brains melt under the pressure, we did something about it.

Coming soon, the AWE Tuning Foiler™ Wind Diffuser. The simple, elegant solution to wind buffeting in Porsche 991s.


Unobtrusive design, simple install and impressive results.

Sign up to stay in the know on the research and design, and be on the list for the launch announcement, HERE.

Sounds interesting...but I really hope it's not a window instalment that makes it look like you should be towing a motor home / caravan.....

Darn, you got us.

Dual Logging Helicopters, one mounted to each mirror. The external helicopter noise cancels out the interior buffeting.

You'll see them when we're ready to officially launch.

Can't give away all of our secrets now, can we?

Why make a comment like that...
after starting a thread like this?

..... seems a bit silly and more than a bit counterproductive

This thread isn't an official product release, merely a way for us to let everyone know that we're working on a solution that will alleviate the headaches of 991 owners around the world who simply like to motor with their windows down.

In regards to releasing photos, we simply want to make sure this product is 100% finished and up to our standards prior to releasing it to the public. Being that this product is still in the R&D phase, the design is still not finalized, and what I might show to you may not look anything like the final product.

In the meantime, stay tuned. We'll let you know when it's ready to go.

Zack, Seems like it would be better for Business to listen to your customers rather to debate or scold them.

Allan,

Not debating or scolding. I am simply unable to reveal anything more than I have at this time because the product is still in development. As such, materials have not been finalized, and thus the design may change slightly in appearance. As I've stated before, this topic isn't an official product release, but rather to let everyone know that we are actively working on a solution to a problem.

In addition to design and material change concerns, we simply don't want anyone to pirate our design. It's a simple solution, but it's one that we've been working hard at perfecting, and to have our hard work stolen out from under us this late in the development process would be frustrating to say the least.

Please, be patient. We will be releasing this soon, but until then, I can't divulge any further details other than the fact that your eardrums will thank you in the future.
