What is a so-called Slantnose conversion?

A pair of Slantnose swap describes the conversion of various components such as on the 1988 Slantnose Porsche 911 Turbo (Slantnose 930S)! Here the headlights of the car are built into the front apron and instead of the actual headlights vents for the braking system to see or sometimes folding headlights. After the conversion, the front hood and fenders form a flat, but sloping surface. You can visualize the vehicle in such a way that the rear part and the side of the vehicle usually look normal, but the front part hovers a few centimeters above the asphalt. Through the moved / hidden headlights the vehicle appears even longer and deeper. It is reminiscent of the aggressive Group 5 racing cars of the late 1970s. Among the car connoisseurs, a Porsche with a Slantnose conversion is also known as "Flat schnauzer" called. Compared to the car without the Slantnose conversion, the conversion looks more impressive. Sometimes months or years of searches are reported in order to find a Slantnose Porsche. Anyone looking for a Slantnose 930S should be prepared for the fact that the vehicle will be difficult to find.

Use of the Slantnose conversion!

The Slantnose conversion was initially carried out for the Porsche 911 in racing used. Since the look of the new conversion was popular (mainly in the USA), it was later transferred to the Porsche 911, which is registered in road traffic.

This meant that the popular look could only be done by hand using the special request program in the Porsche repair department.

Due to this special and rare production by Porsche itself, the car with Slantnose conversion is not particularly widespread and has a clear recognition value and a unique selling point. The difference in production, i.e. whether the conversion was carried out by the Porsche factory or by a tuning workshop, can hardly be recognized in retrospect. In any case, it is always important to clarify which components are suitable for which vehicle or whether certain parts may even be are forbidden. A specialist should therefore always be consulted when carrying out a conversion on your own. In particular with regard to a decrease for use in road traffic. And that applies to all vehicles. After all, you can do such a conversion on different types such as a Nissan 350 Z or newer 911 Turbo (997) . perform
