SilverRocket Front Wheel Dry Carbon Fibre Turbofan Aero
Disc – Porsche Motorsport Aerodynamics Reinvented for the Modern GT
Sold as a Pair
The SilverRocket Front Wheel Dry Carbon Fibre Turbofan
Aero Disc revives one of Porsche’s most revolutionary motorsport
innovations — the turbofan wheel design — and integrates it into the
modern Porsche 718 GT4 RS. Precision-engineered using aerospace-grade
dry carbon fibre and a race-ready heat-resistant (R-HR) coating, the
AeroDisc enhances aerodynamic performance, optimises brake cooling, and
increases front axle downforce — all while elevating the visual presence of
your GT4 RS.
Fits:
Only for Aluminium wheels
Inspired by the Porsche 917/30 that dominated the 1973 Can-Am series, this advanced turbofan system channels SilverRocket’s engineering excellence and modern AI-driven aerodynamic design to deliver real performance gains on track.
What Does the SilverRocket Turbofan Aero Disc Do?
The SilverRocket AeroDisc isn’t just a styling enhancement — it’s a functional aerodynamic upgrade that improves performance where it matters most.
Core Functions:
- Enhances
brake cooling: The integrated turbofan blades act as centrifugal
pumps, evacuating hot air from the brake system and maintaining optimal
disc temperature.
- Increases
drag-free downforce on the front axle: The airflow redirection
stabilises the car at high speeds without additional drag.
- Reduces
aerodynamic drag: Smooth outer surfaces streamline wheel airflow for
higher top speed and improved balance.
- Improves lap times: Proven through extensive track testing, the AeroDisc Pro increases top speed by 14 km/h (8.7 mph) when combined with SilverRocket’s rear AeroDisc system.
These discs are specifically engineered to fit Porsche 718 GT4 RS with OEM aluminium wheels, ensuring a perfect, balanced fit and seamless aerodynamic integration.
The Evolution of
Porsche Turbofan Aerodynamics
The turbofan aero disc concept originated in Porsche’s
917/30 — the most powerful road racing car of its era. Facing extreme brake
heat (up to 700°C/1,290°F), Porsche engineers devised radial-blade turbofans
that expelled hot air from the wheel wells via centrifugal force.
Though later banned from regulated racing for being “movable aerodynamic devices,” this innovation continues to influence Porsche’s engineering philosophy. SilverRocket brings it back with 21st-century advancements, combining heritage design with modern carbon fibre craftsmanship and AI-driven Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) optimisation.
Why Do Traditional Aero Discs Fail?
Conventional aluminium or composite aero discs often
underperform due to:
- Heat
fatigue and deformation under high brake temperatures.
- Poor
airflow management from outdated blade geometry.
- Excessive
weight, negatively impacting unsprung mass.
- Surface delamination or warping during prolonged use.
SilverRocket solves these issues with AI-designed high-efficiency turbofan blades and a 0.5 mm Race-Ready Heat-Resistant (R-HR) coating that shields against extreme brake heat — proven to withstand over 500°F in professional track environments.
Why Upgrade to SilverRocket’s Carbon Fibre Aero Disc?
Upgrading to SilverRocket’s Front Wheel Turbofan Aero Disc delivers tangible benefits in both performance and engineering precision.
Key Advantages:
- Brake
cooling efficiency: Peak brake disc temperatures reduced from 585°C to
493°C during testing.
- Higher
top speed: Combined with the rear AeroDisc, achieves 282 km/h
(175.2 mph) at the Shanghai F1 Circuit.
- Superior
materials: Aerospace-grade carbon fibre construction ensures maximum
strength and minimal weight.
- Race-ready
resilience: R-HR coating resists prolonged exposure to brake heat.
- Aerodynamic
enhancement: Generates downforce without additional drag.
- Artistic freedom: Supplied with an AeroDisc Pro Livery-Free Design Template, allowing for full custom graphics or branding.
SilverRocket’s design represents a fusion of racing heritage, AI-driven aerodynamics, and modern carbon engineering — setting a new benchmark for Porsche performance parts.

Eliminate the risk of metal dents when using high downforce AOA (angle of attack) settings or bigger rear wings
When the GT4RS operates with high downforce AOA angles settings on high-speed tracks, or when utilising high downforce motorsport wings, the potential for metal dents increases. For instance, the SilverRocket DRS-1 wing can generate over 250 kg of downforce at 200MPH Speed. This substantial downforce is supported by the car's body through the wing support.
If the left and right supporting anchors are not adjusted evenly, there is a risk that the high downforce could cause dents in the metal at the supporting points.
Highlights:
Benefit: Eliminate the risk of metal dents with High-downforce AOA (angle of attack) settings & bigger wings.
Material: Crafted from 100% aerospace-grade dry carbon fiber, twice the strength of steel.
Installation: Pre-fitted with 3M VHB tape for quick and easy installation in just 30 seconds.

Carbon fibre tailgate with lightweight PC glass - Without rear wiper
Fits:

Porsche 718 Cayman - 2017 to 2024
20.7lbs of Weight Saving
Constructed from 100% aerospace-grade dry carbon fiber, the SilverRocket V-Frame tailgate is 6.4 kg (13.71lbs) lighter than the stock tailgate of the GT4RS. When combined with the SR Carbon Fiber Wing Support and SR Wing, this results in a total weight savings of 20.7lbs at a high gravity point compared to the OEM setup.
1,300+lbs Downforce Ready
The SilverRocket Super Strong V-Frame and Honeycomb Reinforced Core are engineered to support larger wings, handling downforce levels of up to 600 kg/1322lbs with exceptional stability.
Rearward-Extended Wing Setup Ready
We frequently receive inquiries about if we will provide rearward-extended wing support. Our consistent response has been "no" as our FEA analysis of the OEM tailgate indicates that it is not designed for a rearward-extended wing setup under high downforce. However, we have taken this request into account in the development of this tailgate, which is engineered to safely support the additional forces generated by a rearward extended wing setup.
Perfect Match for Weissach Pack
The SR Dry Carbon Fiber V-Frame Tailgate is made with extreme attention to detail, it exquisitely complements the carbon fiber aesthetic of the GT4 RS Porsche Weissach Pack, leaving no room for compromise.
Indestructible HD Lightweight Polycarbonate Glass Included
Porsche incorporated a super thin glass in the GT4 RS tailgate to reduce weight. However, this lightweight solution has a significant drawback: the thin glass is prone to cracking. Numerous reports on Rennlist highlight instances of the rear glass cracking during car washes. To make matters worse, the OEM tailgate glass comes with a staggering price tag of $2,600.
In response to this issue, SilverRocket has developed our own HD Lightweight Polycarbonate Glass, which is included in the tailgate package at no additional cost. This innovative solution not only reduces weight but also alleviates concerns about the fragility of the expensive GT4 RS rear glass.
