Wheels Australia - June 2018

FRONT END DESIGN IS NOW ALL ABOUT

MANAGING AIRFLOW UNDER THE CAR

AND SENDING IT REARWARD ALONG

THE FLAT FLOOR, RATHER THAN

USING IT FOR BRAKE COOLING

BRAKE COOLING IS HANDLED BY

THESE BONNET VENTS, WHICH

DIRECT FAST-MOVING AIR DOWN AND

OVER THE HUGE FRONT DISCS AND

SIX-POT CALIPERS

STANDARD ROOF PANEL IS MADE
FROM MAGNESIUM; IF THAT SOUNDS
KINDA HEAVY, YOU’LL WANT THE
CARBONFIBRE OPTION, WHICH IS PART
OF THE $34,390 WEISSACH PACK

Although Porsche Australia is

at pains to stress that this is a

low-production volume model

and not a limited edition, you’ll

need to be a very good Porsche

customer and pretty quick on

the draw to land one of the low

double-digit build slots that

have been earmarked for Down

Under. Production will continue

for another 12 months before

this generation car is superseded

by a new model. Local importers

are keen to land additional

allocation, but it’s by no means

guaranteed.

INTEGRATED REAR SPOILER CHANNELS

SWIRLING AIR AWAY FROM THE CAR,

LEAVING FOUR-STEP ADJUSTABLE

REAR WING TO UTILISE CLEAN AIR FOR

UP TO 40 PERCENT MORE DOWNFORCE

THAN THE PREVIOUS MODEL
