The new Porsche 911 GT3 RS, internally designated 992, no longer has any storage space. What makes it unique is that the 992 GT3 RS lacks a front trunk due to the cooling units. As was the case with the Porsche 991 GT3 RS, the space behind the front seats is reserved for the Clubsport roll bar or roll cage.
So if you want to bring a helmet, some luggage, and a passenger at the same time, you’ll have to demonstrate your packing skills by making the most of the space in the gaps between the cage bars using flexible bags. Once you arrive at the racetrack—or, optionally, at a spa hotel—you’ll have to unload everything “laboriously” again, and just like when loading up, you might work up quite a sweat due to the limited space.
It seems obvious to solve the space problem with a roof box. Unfortunately, Porsche's GT3 models don't have any mounting points for suitable roof racks, unlike their more powerful relatives, the GTS and Turbo S, for example.
Engineering a Solution for a Roof Box on the GT3 RS
The solution to the space problem in the 992 GT3 RS using a roof box sounds appealing. When you head out for a track day, you simply remove the box. Same goes for a road trip through the Alps if you’re staying at the same hotel for 2–3 days. If you’re only making short overnight stops, you leave the roof box on the car.
Of course, neither here nor on the drive to the track do you want to be restricted in any way by the roof box. This is exactly where the ASPHALTKIND roof box really shines. As our company founder, Nils Freyberg, once said...
"We believe you shouldn't even notice you have a roof box. Except that you can carry more...
"...and have people looking back at you."
...during the development and extensive testing of the box, the focus was entirely on aerodynamics, stability, weight, and design. This ensures that the requirements
- speeding,
- little wind noise,
- Lightweight design for a low center of gravity, while still delivering great driving fun and
- "Thumbs up" from passersby

Mounting the ASPHALTKIND Roof Box on the Porsche 992 GT3 RS
The GT3 RS is designed for performance and excitement. Since the perfect track to experience this isn't always right outside your front door, you can currently follow on social media to see just how many people actually have a parking problem with the GT3 RS.
We are currently working with ASPHALTKIND on a solution that will allow the ASPHALTKIND roof box to be mounted on the GT3 RS. The solution will also work on other vehicles, such as the Lamborghini STO, Porsche GT3, McLaren GT, and even a Koenigsegg.
