911 Turbo 'knock-offs'

New wheels for Turbo based on RS Spyder

For God's sake don't kerb them!

Porsche will offer these uber-cool centre-locking alloy wheels for the 911 Turbo from January next year, in a design that’s based on the wheels from the RS Spyder LMP2 racer.

Instead of large chrome spinners like the ones on your old MGB, the factory says its new 911 ‘knock-offs’ will come with an innovative security mechanism on the wheel bearing, made up of a cartridge fitted in the wheel hub with spring mounted security bolts.

The bolts are expoxy-911 Turboplated in a titanium finish, and topped off by a set of Porsche badges.

This homage to the RS Spyder won’t come cheap for new 911 buyers, with a retail price announced in Germany of €3,510. Although, frankly, we think they’re destined to become a ‘must have’ option for the Turbo brigade.


Get it off your chest...
