Those of you following our tuning stories might know German developer DMC for its Lamborghini kits, but the company has now focused on the Porsche 911, offering an extrovert package for the entire 991 line-up.
The aero kit you see in the image gallery to your right fits the full 911 range, even though there are a few details to be discussed. Firs of all, that massive wing requires the engine lid to be changed, with DMC offering a carbon fiber solution, but, with the GT3 RS, there's no need for such thorough upgrades.
Then there's the rear diffuser, which won't work for GT3 Neunelfer, be they Rennsport machine or not - the track-savvy models have their tailpipes on the center (remember, we're talking pre-revamp 991.1 models here).
Returning to the wing, this follows the adjustable path of the factory GT3 RS, but the aftermarket developer brags about the Insane mode of the wing, "a choice that the original Porsche lacks". Unfortunately, we can't talk about the angle or the downforce generated by the wing, since no such values are offered.
Instead, we are being told that "the rear wing wears the DMC lions, originating from the family’s city of birth, Duesseldorf. Father & Son, born in Germany, are represented by each lion,"
The presentation vehicle you see here is a normal 911, if we may call the rear-engined coupe that, which has been fitted with front and rear aprons replicating those of delivered by Porsche's GT division. However, the carbon fiber front lip and side skirts can also be applied to the GT3 RS.
While we're glad DMC provided a story along with the kit, explaining how the son focuses on Raging Bulls and the father brought this Porsche kit (we also get a photo of the two), we'd steer clear of this package. That's because it seems to deliver the wrong kind of relationship between form and function, at least when compared to Zuffenhausen's recipe.
