Poetry. air cooled.

On the basis of a Porsche 993 – and thus the best air-cooled series technology – an authentic homage to one of the most beautiful models in automotive history has been created with masterly care and is coveted by enthusiasts as an exclusive small series of unique pieces.
As authentic as possible, as innovative as necessary, as durable as you want it to be: From the interior to the technology, nothing was left to chance with the KAEGE RETRO. Experience the fascinating history of this special sports car concept – and take a look at the new projects of our sports car manufacturer.

It all started with a vision.

Once upon a time there was a 993.

It all started with a vision. Even if it sounds like a fairy tale – it wasn't quite like that. Actually, it just started with a Porsche 993, which we acquired in 2010 and didn't attach too much importance to in our halls at first. Its design – a whim of the nineties, but its drive was the most modern air-cooled that was ever installed in Zuffenhausen.
And so it happened that at the time we not only surrounded this 993 more and more often – but also made friends with an idea that was as appealing as it was insane: Why not just give this technical substance the classic look it deserves?

Inspired by an idea.

So the genie was out of the bottle and our ambition was awakened: we realized that we would combine genes from the air-cooled 993 with the look of an F-model, one of the most beautiful sports cars ever built.

The perfect technique in a perfectly nostalgic look. We accepted the challenge and knew that we now had to be virtuoso on the entire keyboard of the car body trade. Measuring, converting, scaling and approaching the perfect, authentic look was correspondingly complex.

Front like back, now like before.

Interpret, scale, design, produce: For the bumpers, the entire rear end or the front hood, we reinvented the wheel, so to speak, so that everything looks the same as always.

Where possible and useful, we have worked with carbon – with the pleasant side effect that the KAEGE RETRO not only looks better but is also a little lighter than the original 993.

Varnish in sight.

Disassembling what belongs together: from the fender to the side panel to the sill – a vision initially has a lot to do with perseverance on its way to reality.

Until a moment comes that is just as big as a question of taste: the colour.
Even though we tend towards classic tones – nothing can disfigure a KAEGE RETRO. Whether it's a powerful statement or a nostalgic reminiscence: the paintwork will be up to you.

The axis of beauty.

It had to be tinkered with: the axles of the 993 alone are considerably wider than those of the F model.
Needless to say, that in itself required a keen eye and a lot of foresight from our team to ultimately maintain overall proportions. for months.

Against this background, it was almost refreshing to take care of the tank or oil cap and similar nostalgic details in the perfect look.

Freestyle.

When every component ends up forming a symphony, an idea becomes reality.
And there were many components. With all due respect to the good old days, we have resorted to the blessings of modernity for the chassis and wheels. Without you noticing, of course.

Luminosity.

Cautiously modernize nostalgia: With the KAEGE RETRO, this applies above all to the headlights. An in-house development that is characterized by contemporary economy, durability and light intensity, but with an uncompromisingly authentic look.

Inner values.

Contemporary comfort is our elementary claim in addition to the classic look and feel. The modern navigation system with an authentic look, Recaro seats for impeccably comfortable journeys through time and the air conditioning and much more pay tribute to automotive modernity without disturbing the feeling of being on the road in a true classic.

And in detail, of course, just the way you want it.

With the KAEGE RETRO, we pulled out all the stops of bodywork to do justice to the graceful design language of the F-model down to the last detail. Here you can expect everything. Just no compromises.
