The newest invention of german Porsche tuner speedART is called SP81-R (based on the new Boxster/S typ 981). Please find below the highlights of the tuning modifications of the new Porsche Boxster to be released for the coming summer cabrio season.

Aerodynamics:
The SP81-R bodykit depends on the rear wing, rear diffusor, side skirts and a front chin spoiler. This new rear wing is developed for mounting on the rear deck lid over the original spoiler with an impressive new designof the mounting feet. It is designed to be painted in the well-known speedART bicolor optic, which was released on the first time at the PS9-Panamera bodyparts and which is also shown on the new S91-R body kit which is based on the 991 Carrera. The SP81-R will be integrated seamless in the existing design-line and creates a high value of brand recognition for speedART cars.

Power upgrades:
There are different levels of power kits for both brandnew 981 Boxster and Boxster S engines. Starting with a complete modified sport exhaust system with sport-catalysts and manifolds (optionally combined with a sound switch function), there will be a perfect calibration of the ECU map to increase the power of the 981 models up to 20 hp + 20nm including a fascinating and impressive sound.

Sound:
The sport exhaust with sound switch is developed for controlling the sound value of the cars individually at pleasure. The sport exhaust could be combined with several different tailpipe versions for maximum individuality and singularity. There will be also different versions of a very light Titanium sport exhaust system for racing enthusiastic costumers available.

This special speedART-LSC wheel is a complete new innovation which is especially made as a super light forged version in 20" and 21" which will be availiable in diffrent colors of the center star and outer rim to emphasize the individuality of each LSC-FORGED wheel.

Suspension:
There are different sport suspensions for street and race track use available. Beside the sport suspensions with sport springs or an adjustable sport suspension there is an airlift suspension to maintain the everyday practicability of cars with the SP91-R bodykit.
