KAEGE has joined the trend of modifying Porsche 911s, and it is a popular trend.
Modifying classic Porsche 911s has become a trend recently. KAEGE joins the party with a project that is based on a 1972 911.
KAEGE, German specialists in engineering and design, presents a retro-cooled Porsche 911 that was built from the F-series. It dates back to the 1970s. The body is a classic sports car shape, but the tuners used many carbon-fiber elements to make it lighter at 2,635 pounds (1.195 kilograms). The headlights were given special attention, as they retain the classic design and feature Osram LED projector technology. Fuchs provided the five-spoke, two-tone alloys with Michelin rubbers and concealing ventilated disc brakes.
Recaro sports seats, dashboard and steering wheel get a leather-like treatment in the cabin. The Becker navigation system, which is modeled after the original Porsche radio, also caught our eye.
KAEGE has rebuilt the 3.6-liter naturally aspirated air-cooled petrol engine from the 993-generation. It now produces 300 horsepower (221kilowatts). This power is then transferred to the rear axle via a six speed manual gearbox. The tuning shop also installed air conditioning, multilink rear suspension and airbags. It claims that Porsche workshops around the world can perform car service.
The vehicle will be displayed at the Retro Classic in Stuttgart 2016, which opens its doors to visitors today.
