The Porsche 997-generation 911 models carbon fiber bicycle wheels were incredibly popular and successful for the automotive marketplace. They spanned two generations and even grew to over 20 variants from the basic 911 Carrera to the top-of-the-line 911 GT2 RS with various special edition models sprinkled in between. Now that the newer 991-generation model has been unveiled and is being sold around the world, the 997-generation models have started to fade. But, the team at Misha Design is looking to preserve the car's styling and keep it modern and relevant with their newest upgrade program. The new aerodynamic styling program includes a variety of lightweight carbon fiber body work that creates downforce and reduces drag for better overall vehicle performance along with a new set of COR Wheels and various chassis modifications for better handling and braking.

The new body kit is made entirely http://www.xmapexsport.com/bicycle-c1769.html from lightweight carbon fiber. The material was chosen for its lightweight and high strength properties. The engineering and design team was able to use advanced computer programs with the OEM parameters and input them into the carbon fiber autoclave oven to create parts that fit directly onto the body of the 911 without the need for additional modifications. This ensures excellent build quality and overall durability that is important when making performance body work for maximum reliability. Together with the high quality COR Wheels and suspension modifications, the team was able to create a superb aftermarket upgrade program.

The carbon fiber aerodynamic body kit includes a new front bumper that features two horizontal strips of LED daytime running lights to give the sports car a greater presence on the road. The bumper also utilizes larger air intakes to channel Hookless mtb rims cool air towards the two front radiators and beneath the car. A new 911 GT3-style hood helps to keep air flowing away from the underside of the car to prevent lift. A new spoiler lip helps to create downforce at the front bumper. A new set of side skirts run down each side between the new set of forged COR Wheels and visually lowers the 911. The rear of the car was given a new engine cover spoiler similar to that of a vintage 911 Turbo and a new bumper with an integrated diffuser to create downforce at high speeds.

The team at Misha design then focused their attention on the chassis of the 911 to create a sportier ride and aesthetic. The factory suspension can be modified with a new coilover http://www.xmapexsport.com/am-mtb-rims-c1774.html suspension that lowers the overall ride height by 15 mm for better handling dynamics. The factory rims were removed in place of new three-piece COR Wheels in a 9.5 x 20 front and 10.5 x 20 rear setup with high performance Michelin tires for greater control and grip when stopping and turning.
