Considering developing a vented rear hatch made from Lexan and Macrolon coated (scratch resistant) to prevent compressureisation blowout and the need to use twin braces to mean race/track criteria and also allow the extraction of excess heat out from the cabin.

Are we wasting our time on this or does the project have a future - Please let me know your thoughts.

Here are some pics of our current Lexan rear hatch which is German TUV tested, certified and approved and the best quality and fitting version currently available (not oversized) also tinted to Porsche original spec and extremely light weight:







and this is what I want to create:



Thoughts please, cheers Mark

That would be interesting, I am sure dedicated track cars would go for it as long as sanctioning bodies don't interfere. I would be interested in one in the near future. Keep us posted.




Semper fi.

I intend on aproaching the 924 cup race series in the UK as a good friend of mine races in the series.

We have discussed this issue in detail and I'm just working on the mould costs as these are extremely expensive but 'F@@K IT, I want one myself and it's something new that nobody else has ever done.

I will create a vacum formed version first for testing purposes and if it works then I'll get the finished Lexan job done.

I'll keep you posted mate.

Just thought I'd let you all see these babes which have just been finished.

The only convex versions available for all 924/944 and 968 cars again Macrolon coated Lexan and trimmed to perfect size:











I'll post some other versions later

I am going to pretend I didn't just click on this thread and see those door windows.

Oh there is another version finished as well again I will post pics later

Did I mention fully TUV internationally tested and approved for road and track

Remember that the reason the f40 has them is because there is an engine back there. So unless you're moving your engine rearward...

Mark, I'm confused now. Is this you guys?

Well it's not just the reason of engine cooling. As Mark has said we have to rivet braces in there to stop blowout and I'm just about to do this to my lexan now. I would love something like this. I have a spare hatch that I'm going to be using just for trackdays and I'd love some lexan with venting to avoid any need for braces.
Count me in Mark! How soon would this be ready?

That's Torsden's old site who we work with as a partner - our site will be lauched on 22nd of this month mate.

Yes you did, but not where to buy, so forward addy info ASAP.....

We hope to have this done very soon but first I need to create the buck mould in clay and then have a vacum formed mould created next so we car test at speed with the front windows down.

I am working on the 3D models at the momrnt so wil post some pics soon.

It is important that the design allows for the fittment of a rear trunk deck mounted spoiler so the vents wil be located towards the top - probably 4 of them.

I will do some computer generated wind result first to look at associated vortex vibration effects etc.

I'll get these models up ASAP when finished.

How do you attach the slider windows? Will they be flush with the body or sit in like the stock windows?

And if you make the rear window - I'll buy one, regardless of cost.
