Porsche has introduced the newly developed Performance roof box from its Tequipment division, one that you can purchase through Porsche Centres starting May 2021. The box was designed in cooperation with Studio F.A Porsche, and it can handle speeds of up to 200 km/h, hence the Performance in its name.
Unlike your typical roof box, Porsche employed the ‘form follows function’ design principle with this one. It features a slight counter-curve shape, and this was first visualised on a 1:1 scale clay model, before being put through wind tunnel tests for further aerodynamic refinement.
Porsche Tequipment director, Jochen Schmid said: “The test programme for the roof box was very demanding. On its way to series maturity, it was driven on test tracks for several thousand kilometres as part of overall vehicle testing.” The assessments included aerodynamic behaviour and handling characteristics.
This isn t your standard roof carrier
While some car manufacturers barely consider practicality and cargo space when building their cars (we re looking at you McLaren and Koenigsegg) others are forced to make allowances. Porsche is one of those sports car brands that straddles the line between performance and usability: cars such as the Porsche Cayenne are comfortable daily drivers that can carry a lot of stuff, but on the other hand, something like a Porsche 911 GT3 is utterly useless, despite anything Jay Leno says. Porsche understands that even sportscar drivers need a bit of extra cargo space, and have come up with an idea: introducing the Performance roof box from Porsche Tequipment.
