My favorite part about this new RS is that when you look at the splitter, barge boards / turning vanes around the wheels, diffuser and various other aero bits hanging off the car, they’re not carbon fibre like they would be on a Ferrari, Lambo or even Mercedes. They’re made of really cheap and nasty plastic that feels like junk when you touch it.

Its made of that because when you rip it off driving over a kerb or flying through kitty litter, you grab the piece dangling off, twist it, rip it off, throw it away and keep driving. Then you go and order another one for $80 and screw it back on. One of Trev’s mates has an AMG GTR Pro and is on his third carbon front splitter, many thousands of dollars every time. Porsche know people will drive their cars hard and make the sacrificial / fragile bits unpainted and cheap intentionally. Its a great idea.

 

$80 was my last front splitter on the 991 C2S with club discount, it’s unpainted plastic and they installed it for free, online list price is $265 so they probably did it cost or something.

It’s a pretty big piece though, and that same piece is literally many thousands on the AMG

 

Even the GT3RS parts are still cheap, here’s the side aero pieces on the previous GT3RS, $195 retail a piece

They really don’t care about making money off them as its better for marketing purposes for the cars to be used and seen which is why the dealers discount these wear and tear pieces so much as well.
