—— KAEGE RETRO® CLASSIC
TRIBUTE TO A REAL CLASSIC.BUT RELIES ON ITS OWN DNA.
The KAEGE RETRO® is not a copy. It is an interpretation of the legendary F-model, based on a 993. Both cars’ dimensions differ fundamentally, hence a mere copy would not even have been technically feasible. But we succeeded in preserving the authentic proportions – and thus are proud to have created a sports car that may be seen as a tribute to a classic but relies on its own DNA.
01 —— EXTERIOR
DISCOVER VALUEFROM MASTER CRAFTSMAN.
The bodywork
A lightweight beauty.
By deliberately using carbon parts we did not only add a modern touch to this nostalgic car concept but also were able to reduce the RETRO’s overall weight in comparision with the original 993 by more than 100 kilograms. Little bodywork modifications that will be positively reflected in the car’s driving characteristics and a reduced fuel consumption – but remain completely invisible in terms of the consequent nostalgic overall look.
The wheels
Old wheels reinvented.
An immaculate vintage look – but as modern, safe and powerful as possible by any means: This also applies to the RETRO’s tires and rims: We made the decision for a modern high-end wheel in the classy “Fuchs”-design. But of course, we are open for your ideas and preferences as well in this regard.
The flair of the seventies in perfection.
02 —— INTERIOR
THE INSIDE ISUP TO YOU.
Be impressed by the interior design possibilities of the KAEGE RETRO®, which can of course be accentuated and manufactured according to individual preferences. From the door panels to the center console, it embraces the flair of the seventies to perfection. 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 300 hp engine – the speakers of the high-performance sound system blend discreetly into the interior ensemble.

The cockpit
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.

03 —— ENGINE/TECHNICS
AIR-COOLED.IN PERFECTION.
The KAEGE RETRO® CLASSIC is equipped with a completely overhauled engine from the 993 – and thus with the best air-cooled production technology ever built in the Swabian region. Finely disassembled, inspected, finely balanced and reassembled, the unit appears extremely refined, smooth-running and stable. Through careful fine-tuning, we have been able to increase the output from 3.6 liters of displacement with 286 hp (standard) to 3.8 liters of displacement with 300 hp. Classic 911 feeling. Thanks to the installed hydro tappets, the RETRO requires very little maintenance – and thanks to its OBD capability, it can be easily handled by any Porsche workshop.
04 —— COMFORT/SAFETY
SAFE TIME TRAVEL
The LED headlights
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.
The air conditioner
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 optional sunroof, ensures that every drive is not only a pleasure, but also the perfect temperature.
