What is Porsche Technology? Technology option of the new Porsche 991 (992) ①

What is Porsche Technology?

Have you heard of Porsche's "technology"?

Even in the car configurator, there are several options at the bottom of the options, which are called "techniques".

Yes. Here, "tequipment" means "Technical Equipment" = Technical Equipment, that is, it means "Porsche genuine accessories".

It was written that sports exhaust and foil with a unique design will be treated as this technology @ Porsche site.

Simply put, it seems to be a "genuine accessory (option) that can be attached by an authorized Porsche dealer".

These technologies were thoroughly tested, mainly at the Porsche Development Center in Weissach, by the same engineers and designers who made cars such as the 911, and became more than just "accessories". There seems to be.

Porsche 911 Technology Wheels & Tires

For example, the wheels prepared in the current Porsche 911 (991.2) technology look like this (all models regardless).

so!

Immediately, I saw what is posted for Japan as a technology of Porsche 992, the latest Porsche 911 ~ ^ ^

This time, I would like to focus only on the LED door projector and the wheels and tires.

Porsche 911 LED door projector

First of all, here. "LED door projector," PORSCHE "logo". Driver side and passenger side door projector, white light "PORSCHE" logo 2 piece set (for side door).

Hey! !! I've heard that there is such a thing in Lamborghini, but Porsche also has such a thing as a genuine accessory! !! I did not know. I think this is a little self-satisfaction option, but every time I open the door, when I see this PORSCHE character, I feel like I can understand what makes me happy ^ ^

By the way, it seems that the price is still undecided (as of February 22, 2019, it says "Please contact the Porsche Center").

The number of tech equipment for Porsche 992 in Japan was still small except for child seats and care products, but for the time being, I was a little worried, so first I compared only the foil and tires with Japan and the United States.

Oh, I think it's better to look at the German site, but I don't understand German at all, so I'm sorry I always see the US site ... (laughs).
