Add-on Parts

Add-on parts such as wheel spoilers, brake air deflectors etc. help to achieve aerodynamic objectives and therefore must be carefully optimized.







The flared wheel housings and wider tires mean that the wheel spoilers for the front and rear wheels have had to be redesigned and optimized. These wheel spoilers shield the wheels from the air flow in an effective manner and encourage the air coming from the front and the underbody to flow past the tires aerodynamically.

This guarantees a low resistance air flow around the wheels and reduces the overall drag coefficient. In addition, the optimized wheel spoilers and further add-on parts on the underbody influence the lifting forces in such a way as to achieve the desired aerodynamic lift balance.

The excellent aerodynamic coefficients have further strengthened the position of the new Boxster/S (987) in its segment. On top of this, drag (cW x A) has actually been reduced in comparison with the previous Boxster/S (986) models, despite a larger frontal area. The optimized aerodynamics of the new Boxster/S (987) therefore help to improve driving dynamics, performance and fuel economy.
