Nothing is currently as trendy as an old vehicle in a classic sheet metal dress equipped with state-of-the-art technology. We are talking about the so-called Restomod vehicles! Almost every day we have at least one thing to show you, and today it's after that 1956 Ford Fairlane Club Sedan Restomod with 7 liter Cobra Jet V8 already the second. Curtain up for that Kaege Retro Turbo based on a Porsche 911 from the 993 series. A restomod projectile with up to 510 horses under the hood and a total price of a good 600.000 euros. And the fact that the guys and girls from Stetten in Baden-Württemberg know their craft is something that several Kaege restomods based on XNUMXs have already shown us in recent years.
Kaege Retro Turbo 993
And now comes another phenomenal one Single copy to. The look of the 993 was based on the Porsche RSR (F model) from the 1970s with the chic ducktail spoiler lip at the rear and is again upgraded under the body 993 technology installed. And this 993 Turbo in Restomod look even enjoys almost all of the serial technology from the 993 Turbo. Only when it is individually adjustable in tension and compression KW coilover suspension and custom made Exhaust system in a retro look you helped a little with cutting-edge components. And they also helped "a little" with the drive technology. The well-known one continues to function as the drive 3,6 liter boxer engine with two turbochargers, from the former 408 PS in this case, however, were violent at the request of the customer 510 little horse (optional 450 hp). And with that you can easily outdo the former 911 GT2 and accelerates in under 4 seconds to 100 km / h at 6.700 rpm.
Carbon refinement with 37 individual parts
Porsche itself had two with a new engine management system and a modified oil cooler performance improvements to 430 PS (WLS1) and 450 PS (WLS2 including turbocharger and intercooler) offered as strong as the Kaege 993 but left not applicable the work. And with the power and that Six-speed transmission you have to be able to handle it. Because there is still the standard ABS, ESP or traction control and any other driving aids are not available. And especially due to the low empty weight of only 1290 kg this quickly leads to an unwanted twist when the three-part modern rims in a classic design lose grip with sports tires. Because the Kaege Retro weighs thanks to an elaborate Carbon refinement with 37 items or the ultra-light LITEBLOX lithium battery in the end 160 kg fewer than the base vehicle.
ergonomic Recaro bucket seats in the interior
And the Kaege XNUMX also owes that to the new interior. Because the mint-colored ergonomic Recaro bucket seats with classic Pepita pattern are significantly lighter than the series feeling. Incidentally, the pilot is looking at a one made exclusively for Kaege dashboard and dashboard in a classically inspired design. Kaege also built in Leather steering wheel with airbag, a new Radio navigation system with a vintage look Sound system inklusive final stage and Crossover and they also shine in classic design LED headlightsAnd the Blinking and Rear lights from in-house production. And what does the fun cost, even one battered trunk to match the interior design? This Kaege Retro Turbo has 2 years of construction devoured and costs 490.000 Euros excluding VAT and without donor vehicle.
