Isn’t that test car a Turbo? You know fitment is different than the regular 991.2 cars...

Where are these ducts going to be? I don't seem them in the pics. I had imagined there was some sort of air scoop integrated in the duck tail.

Please keep posting, it looks beautiful.

+1. Below is a pic of how RUF have integrated the inter cooler ducting into their ducktail

I will be interested, especially if it looks good on a black 991.2 without painting, and the carbon fiber has a clear coat that is UV resistant. I don't park mine in the sun much, but have seen a lot of carbon fiber auto body parts turned yellow from solar exposure.

We aren't finished with the ducting design yet. we are working on that now. additionally we will be doing all testing of this on a Turbo S making roughly 800 wheel and measuring all temperature parameters as well as IR probes in various locations in the engine bay.

Please pay attention to the IATs. I leave my spoiler up to assist with reducing heat soak in the intercoolers. Current design is not optimal for full send application. Hoping that this help route more air through the heat exchangers.

We will be building a few ducting/scoop iterations so people can decide how much" form should follow function" or vise versa for their specific application. We won't offer anything that doesn't atleast match factory airflow per model.

Originally the yellowing was due to the resins used in older/cheaper construction methods. Modern OEM pieces utilizing the same construction methods we are using rely on very expensive/advanced resins that resist UV damage to the point that we can warranty the finish against Yellowing. Furthermore the clear coat applied either satin or gloss will also be of the highest quality in regards to UV protection.

We are aware, There will be multiple versions that look more or less the same.

I want something like this.


GT2-RS


Basically a de-winged GT2-RS. The intakes look epic. Would that work with a GTS? Would it work with your ducktail? Factory GT2-RS rer carbon intake with your ducktail? Photo shop guys go for it : )
