TRE 911R Conversion Kit
TRE 911R Conversion Kit
19 special prototype 911s were built by Porsche’s race engineers. Together with a composites manufacturer, the techs started with 912 based shells in 1967, with no undercoating, no rust preventative caulking or insulation. Totally bare interiors painted semi flat black directly on the metal with a roll bar and two lightweight fiberglass seats. A dash cover was their only compromise as it was needed to stop the reflections of the gauges, on the windshield, during night driving. Fiberglass panels were employed for the doors, lids, front fenders, and bumpers. The stock hinges were deemed too heavy, so light metal pieces that fastened through the outer part of the lid and body were used. Plastic windows were fitted throughout with the exception of the windshield.
Simple lamps , sourced from trailers and other small cars, replaced the front and rear stock items. Anything to save weight without compromising the drive train and suspension was brought to bear.
Now we don’t advocate the used of hollow fiberglass doors for the street (but they are available from us as well) . So our basic kit , outlined below, shows what is needed to convert the body of either a 65-68 or 69-73 model to the 911R theme.
The fiberglass used is twill cloth with clear resin for the inner lid frames, white gel coat exterior. The bumpers and fenders also feature twill cloth, with white gel coat exterior. We include a new pair of steel buckets to secure the expensive head lamps.
Our Basic Kit Includes the following:
-TRE R Style Front Bumper- needs to be fastened to the lower edges of the front fenders
-TRE 911 Front Hood w/ Tie Downs (center fill option available separately)
-TRE R Style Rear Bumper (pictured on the silver car)

Porsche's race department was commissioned to build an ultra light version of the 911 using lightweight materials, deleted items, and performance upgrades. This short wheel base car (of which only 19 were ever made) became a legend. This, even though it was never built in sufficient numbers to be homologated for racing similar cars. It still gained notoriety in various epreuves and many fans love the raw character of this car today.
