A perfect fit to the body of the car is an important aspect of the Porsche quality standard. After all, the second skin must sit like a tailor-made suit. It must be precise to the millimetre.
Through a series of wide-ranging measures, the Porsche Classic experts have managed to achieve considerable improvements in the production quality of wings and side sections for the Porsche 911 (model years 1965 to 1994). This also enabled the thin-plate parts of the legendary 911 Carrera RS 2.7 – of which only 1,580 were built in the years 1972 and 1973 – to be relaunched for the first time.
Porsche Classic redefined every single manufacturing step from scratch to permanently improve the dimensional accuracy and therefore facilitate the actual fitting of the parts to the vehicle. The original standard-production tools were re-engineered and optimised. New testing devices are used to test dimensional accuracy. For example, each of the approximately 30 wing variants was installed on a vehicle or on a test device for testing. In addition, each process step – including the intricate craftsmanship that goes into the surface finish – was documented to guarantee consistent quality.
With regard to the conservation of the value of collector’s cars, Porsche Classic is giving a clear sign – in the truest sense of the word. The relaunched Porsche Classic Genuine Parts are all instantly recognisable by the Porsche logo.
