Larte Design Porsche 911

Porsche has unveiled the redesigned 911 Turbo S as the star of the 992.2 series, but not everyone can (or simply doesn't want) to have a Turbo S. So, for those who are content with a regular Carrera and still like to attract attention, Larte Design offers a solution in the form of an aero body kit.

Larte says that the development of the body kit involved clay modeling, 3D scanning, prototyping and many improvements before arriving at the final package. Customers can choose from 12 new components, all of which are designed to match the original mounting points on the car. They are also available in either pre-impregnated carbon fiber or a high-gloss finish.

According to Klix.ba, the Larte Design treatment also includes a new bumper extension with a more prominent splitter and sportier inserts on the cooling intakes. This is paired with a ventilated hood, revised side skirts and a completely redesigned rear diffuser, which houses the brake lights and dual rectangular exhaust pipes.

At the rear, a large fixed wing stands out, which is mounted on the engine cover. It connects visually with thin flaps, which extend towards the full-width LED strip, creating a design reminiscent of some of the most iconic spoilers from earlier 911 generations. For those who prefer something more subtle, a spoiler is also available that sits above the taillights.

The package is completed by a set of five-twin-spoke forged aluminum wheels with integrated aero discs, giving the Carrera an even more aggressive stance. Larte also showed off renderings in various colors, including a blue and yellow livery inspired by the Holbert Racing 911 Carrera RSR 3.0 from the 1974 Trans-Am series.

Despite the dramatic appearance, there have been no performance or chassis upgrades. The Porsche 911 Carrera retains its standard twin-turbo 3.0-liter six-cylinder engine, which produces 394 hp and 450 Nm of torque. Power is still sent to the rear wheels via an eight-speed PDK transmission, allowing for a 0-100 km/h time of 3.9 seconds.

Larte Design did not disclose the price of this package.
