KAEGE RETRO® TURBO
NOSTALGIA.FULLY CHARGED.
Let’s put it as plainly as this car deserves: The KAEGE RETRO® TURBO is automotive adrenaline. Whoever drives it, whoever controls it, whoever experiences it, will feel what driving physics can have to do with goose bumps. Anyone who looks at it will not be able to get enough of the simple aesthetics of power: The RETRO TURBO, which is carefully modeled on the Porsche RSR from the 1970s, delivers up to 510 hp to the road via all four wheels. As a bolide among the nostalgics, it is also based on the fascinating KAEGE RETRO® principle, just like its graceful series-production brother CLASSIC – namely the masterful combination of the design language of classic F models with the most modern air-cooled Porsche technology from the 993 Turbo. State-of-the-art carbon components, six-speed transmission and, of course, the obligatory ducktail ensure ultimate performance and – wherever it gets to show what it can do – a touch of stylish nostalgia.
01 —— EXTERIOR
DISCOVER VALUEFROM MASTER CRAFTSMAN.
Nostalgia is in the details.
Beyond the grace of the KAEGE RETRO® TURBO, we put our heart and soul into the details: Chrome trim, bumpers, lights, and fuel and oil filler caps provide nostalgic perfection - even when you look very closely. The entire rear design, including the rear spoiler (ducktail), bumpers and taillights, is an in-house production.
More beautiful. And lighter.
By using carbon components, we have not only added modern components to the authentic effect, but also achieved a weight saving of over 100 kilograms compared with the original 993 Turbo. Contemporary lightweight construction that is highly noticeable in vehicle handling and consumption.
The old wheel. Reinvented.
No compromises in appearance, but as modern, safe and powerful as possible. This also applies to tires and rims. Here - as with many other features - we are open to your wishes. On the TURBO, we use a three-piece wheel in a classic design in the size 18 inches as standard.
Sound and performance.
The custom exhaust system is one of the selected things where we decided to redesign and against the original. The sound, appearance and performance characteristics prove us right.
Innovative luminosity.
With our BI-LED headlights for classic Porsche models, we have brought the latest LED technology to a perfect nostalgic look. Uncompromisingly authentic - but genuinely innovative.

Be impressed by the interior design possibilities of the KAEGE RETRO®, which can of course be accentuated and manufactured according to individual preferences.

Ergonomic Recaro seats ensure maximum comfort on your trips back to the good old days, and should you ever want to listen to something other than the melody of the 450 hp engine – the speakers of the high-performance sound system blend discreetly into the interior ensemble.

Timeless. Functional.

Cockpit for time travel.
In the area around the steering wheel, every movement of the KAEGE RETRO® becomes a sensual experience: high-quality workmanship, visual accents and haptic refinements turn every kilometer into a journey of pleasure: A leather steering wheel that flatters your hand, classically interpreted gauges, high-end radio navigation system in vintage look and a dashboard for a consistent interior design. With airbag, of course.
Luggage compartment with ambience.
Good style continues under the hood of the KAEGE RETRO®: The trunk is also designed in a high-quality and refined way according to your wishes. As with the classic, it offers space for light luggage. Always with you: enthusiasm.

03 —— ENGINE/TECHNICS
AIR-COOLED.IN PERFECTION.
Full power development of a vision: The KAEGE RETRO® TURBO not only fascinates with its perfectly nostalgic look – its performance also keeps what its looks promise. The KAEGE RETRO® TURBO is equipped with a completely overhauled engine from the 993 Turbo – and thus with the best air-cooled series technology ever installed in Swabia. Finely disassembled, inspected, finely balanced and reassembled, the unit appears extremely refined, smooth-running and stable. Through careful fine-tuning, we have subtly increased the standard performance without changing the running culture of the original unit. Classic 911 turbo feeling. The factory power increase II to 450 hp is standard with us and can be increased to 510 hp on request. Due to the installed hydro tappets, the RETRO requires very little maintenance – and thanks to its OBD capability, can be handled by any Porsche workshop without any problems.
TECHNOLOGY FROMMASTER CRAFTSMAN.
Consistent KW.
It is a matter of honor that we also install the proven and for us exclusively tuned KW suspensions in the KAEGE RETRO® TARGA. Comfort, damping behavior and sportiness are unsurpassed with the suspensions of this manufacturer.
Quite the 993.
As with the six-cylinder unit, we made few changes to the 993 Turbo's six-speed transmission. Although it has been overhauled and tested for heart and sprocket: Some things are just good as they are.
Value investment.
The same applies to the brake system. It has been reconditioned from the 993 Turbo and has lost none of its value for a sporty and safe driving experience.
04 —— COMFORT/SAFETY
SAFE ON TIME TRAVEL.
Innovative luminosity.
A question of safety: When it comes to headlights, the "good old days" seem to be much longer ago than with other components. For us reason enough in the KAEGE RETRO® to sell our LED headlights from own production. They fit flawlessly into the optical look, but are indeed decades ahead of their predecessor in terms of economy, luminous intensity and durability.
Just in case.
In the days of the F-model still a dream of the future, now rightly an undisputed safety standard. Authenticity must not come at the expense of safety - which is why the KAEGE RETRO® is naturally equipped with airbags. Hopefully, you will neither notice nor need it.
Recaro, logically.
Ergonomically perfect, ultimately comfortable and safe: It's only logical that the RETRO also uses the best seats available on the market. No matter which design you choose - it's worth trying it out!
There’s music in it.
The sound system of the KAEGE RETRO® TURBO convinces by its unique clear sound. It is exclusively manufactured for us - of course including power amplifier and crossover.
Cool head on a journey through time.
We were particularly pleased with some of the blessings of the modern age in the 993: In contrast to the F model, it already had air conditioning as standard. In the RETRO, it has been completely overhauled and, in addition to the electric sunroof, ensures that every drive is not only a pleasure, but also the perfect temperature.
