Many of us started as the ‘mustn’t touch’ type of Porsche owner, who doesn’t change anything on the car without approval by the manufacturer. ‘Mustn’t touch’ types instead spend their spare cash on espresso cup sets featuring the 908 and 917 in various poses, or ceramic brake cuff links. Don’t look at me like that: we’ve all bought that stuff.
After a time, ‘mustn’t touchers’ begin to realise that coffee cups and cuff links have nothing to do with getting maximum return from a 911. They question the driving experience their car is providing. They want more involvement, more dynamism. They start looking at aftermarket products to sharpen up their sports car.
From here, there are many options. At first glance, the main differentiators seem to be cost and quality, but there’s more to it than that.
So much of the Porsche tuning stuff you see on sale in magazines has been put together by a generic ‘performance parts’ producer and is being resold by a third party. The seller didn’t visualise a product that would address a particular Porsche niche. They didn’t draw out their idea in line with the principles of good design, studied at university. They didn’t mock it up on a CNC prototyping mill and fit it to a buck held in the workshop, to ensure perfect proportions. They didn’t spec out the raw materials and high-end components that would go into the finished article. They didn’t send detailed drawings and parts sheets to trusted local machinists who put quality well ahead of price. They didn’t inspect the test products returned. They didn’t fit the finished parts to their own car, as part of the pre-production development cycle. They don’t personally prepare, check and wrap every order sold, packaging their products in the most environmentally-friendly way possible.
They didn’t, but WEVO does. Every part we sell is born of our experience as Porsche owners and qualified designers, with additional wingspan in high-level race engineering. We want it to get to you in perfect shape for the job ahead, so we have exhaustive productive development programmes, structured test and version amendment systems and a hands-on packaging service.
That is the WEVO difference. We are inventor, developer, manufacturer and distributor. There’s no middle man cut and no blank stares when you want to know something about how our product fits or how it works.
Next time you’re comparing WEVO’s best-of-breed Porsche products with offerings of lesser effort, ask to speak to the other guy’s designer. You can speak to ours anytime.
