Re: 991 Carrera - New Exclusive Department Options
Isn't that a bit quick after the launch of the Carrera S? Strikes me as this is the car they should have as standard: they wouldn't have held back on purpose to charge extra for the power pack would they?
(Warning: the above question is rhetorical)

Re: 991 Carrera - New Exclusive Department Options
Powerkit is 13804 EUR in Germany...incl. 19% VAT.
The Aerokit Cup is almost 5000 EUR incl. 19% VAT.
The Sport Design kit is almost 4200 EUR incl. 19% VAT.
All prices for factory delivery on a new car.
Tequipment will surely charge more for it (incl. install).
Prices in the USA are:
Aerokit Cup: 5990 USD.
Sport Design kit: 4990 USD.
Judging by the german Powerkit price tag, I suppose the powerkit will be around 15000 USD in the US.

I used to prefer the look of the coupe over the cabriolet, but that picture is beyond my vocabulary.

Re: 991 Carrera - New Exclusive Department Options
I am and never was a friend of spoilers, wings or ducktails.
I actually would love to see a GT3 or GT2 without a wing, same goes to the Turbo.
Don't know why but I just don't like them...
I don't have anything against retractable wings/spoilers though, if they are necessary (aerodynamics).

Re: 991 Carrera - New Exclusive Department Options
Take the Panamera for example: When ordering my car, I was inclined to get the Sport Design package too, even if it doesn't really make a huge difference (visually). The only reason I didn't choose it: It actually worsens aerodynamics. This wouldn't be the first time an Exclusive option would do that and while it really isn't a safety problem, why should I pay more money for worse aerodynamics?!

Same here. Of course the big rear spoiler is something like an identifying feature of the Turbo, but I also like the clean, classic shape of the 911. If I could do without a (fixed) rear spoiler at a Turbo, I would certainly go this way. And I would never order something like Aerokit, Sport Design package or similar.

Re: 991 Carrera - New Exclusive Department Options
unlike the aftersales market where people just slap things on their cars for pure looks - with a OEM it mostdefinately does something good to the car - this is like saying who needs the power upgrade for 0.1 sec to 100 km/h - but then people buy options to customize their own car and taste. Spoilers maybe are catching attention - for some it distroys the classic lines - for others it's a welcome change to the mainstream 911....
Re: 991 Carrera - New Exclusive Department Options
The shape of the 911 is such that because of its sloping rear, a spoiler is needed to divert air in order to avoid rear lift (hence the motorized Carrera spoiler) but at higher speeds downforce is needed (hence the GT, Turbo wings). It seems to be technically and ergonomically difficult to make these big wings to disappear completely when the cars are moving slowly.
The 991 is a 911 shape with a higher rear that should aid aerodynamic behavior but I don't think it could made any higher, because that will change the whole 911 concept. Even now Porsche friends complain that the 991 rear is too high.

Re: 991 Carrera - New Exclusive Department Options
Maybe a technical overkill
What puzzles me is that in GT racing all cars have wings although not much faster than the road cars they are based on. Only Porsche fit wings on their road cars too. Why would a Ferrari 458 (already a super fast car) be considered stable without a wing, when its 458 GT sibling needs to carry such an aerodynamic aid? In this case the makeover is not as extreme as the one that turns a road M3 or a Z4 into their GT counterparts which bear hardly any relation to the road going cars.

It is a technical overkill. But, a good one IMHO. 458 Italia? Sensational car, but also a car that in 99% of cases won't be used on the Ring by thier owner. GT3 or GT2 model owners in over 50% of cases are using their cars on the track(for fan) as well. See my point?
Personally, I .like Sport Design package for 991. Did you saw the way spoiler looks on 991 in lifted position? From the back it looks pretty awfull IMO, specially in lighter exterior color.

Re: 991 Carrera - New Exclusive Department Options
It will be interesting to see (in the future) the percentage of 458 Scuderia cars that are used on the track ...
