I emailed "protosport" about the wing, but no response. Wondering if any if you guys out there have seen this?

Looks magnificent!

On first look, it seems like a whole lot of arm (physics use of the term) to mount from those ram points. That aside, it looks pretty cool in my humble opinion.

Funny you mentioned it since I saw that car for sale and was curious how the rear wing worked. I see it passes through the stock decklid on its own arms, completely replacing the OEM wing supports. I also found it interesting, but not sure I'd want it on a street driven Porsche (certainly a good wing candidate for a track car).

After review of the protosport website, I'm not sure it's actually theirs. I think they are a shop doing mods, but I think this may be just a sticker, not an actual wing from there....

Yeah I thought so, after they completely ignored my email. BUT I am very curious as to where this wing came from! Hope someone on this forum knows!

It's definitely a different approach to the typical 996 turbo wing. In my opinion, I prefer the wing directly bolted onto the deck lid, rather than to the spoiler extension part.

Interesting idea for sure, I think the wing itself might just be a APR GT wing I run their big GT 500 wing on my Z06 Race car. If the uprights where reenforced might be a good solution for a turbo thats gets tracked. I think a wing from or like a GT3RS would look better
