At this year’s 20th anniversary of Porsche Tequipment, the retrofitting professionals are demonstrating the range of their expertise on a special project for a used 911 Carrera S Coupé, model year 2011. The vehicle, initially equipped with not much more than the standard features, is upgraded with numerous options in the form of Tequipment retrofit components that transform it into an impressive top sports car – both visually and technically.
After being retrofitted with the Aerokit Cup, the exterior of the 911 Carrera S has an altered front end with modified spoiler lip and a fixed rear spoiler with an additional wing profile. The car’s new look is completed by such features as black bi-xenon headlights and tail lights in a clear-glass look.
The dual tailpipes made from polished stainless steel offer a hint at something that cannot be seen at first glance, but is certainly audible and palpable – the boost in engine power from 400 hp (294 kW) to 430 hp (316 kW).
The vehicle’s interior is also upgraded as part of the retrofit. The standard seats, for instance, are replaced by sport bucket seats with carbon shells. Also designed in carbon are the decorative trim strips of the dash panel and centre console. The motorsport ambience is complemented by Alcantara elements such as the Sport Design steering wheel and the PDK gear selector lever. All it takes is a quick glance at the equipment list of the ‘new’ used Carrera S to see that the features just mentioned hardly exhaust the potential of the Tequipment product range.
