Pics: Official Porsche 997 Turbo Aerokit
Just got this in my email:
New Aerokit for the Porsche 911 Turbo Coupé
Stuttgart. 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.

That rear wing is almost identical to my old 996 Turbo aerokit. As much as I loved the aerokit on the 996, i just dont think that it looks right on the 997 at all. Best rear wing I have seen for the 997TT is the TechArt one.

Looks good to me, at least it's aerodynamically matched to the car, unlike most aftermarket stuff. Now, next is the X73.....
