As we promised, we will keep you up to date. Those of you who have been following our blog for a while already know that we have actually tried to find a suitable roof box for our 911 that we don't have to make any compromises with.
Let's keep it short: We didn't find anything on the market that satisfied us. Poor aerodynamics, low material stability, high weight, and above all, a poor design that simply didn't match the shape of the car.
We've gone through all the boxes.
In the meantime, we also took a look at the 56Nord Box, where the data and design look really good on screen.
Just like other boxes, the roof box shots look quite good taken from a certain perspective. In reality on common cars and base carriers you have to compromise at last again.
In other words: We came to the conclusion that "We won't find the perfect roof box on the market."
Un nuevo capítulo para Asphaltkind
As already announced to selected contacts several months ago, we are currently working on the construction of a roof box with a focus on aerodynamics, stability, weight, and design. These are precisely the issues that have always bothered us and for which no solution has been found so far.
This is also the beginning of a new chapter for Asphaltkind. Behind the scenes, we have already turned from a blog, which actually only meant to help make the Porsche 911 even more suitable for everyday use, into a company for the development of a perfect roof box. We have been working with our team on the design and key features for several months now. Always reflecting on our experiences and our expectations. It is important to realize that our roof box will fit perfectly on almost every car. Starting with the Audi A6 to the Porsche 911, Mercedes C-, E-, GLC-class and BMW X6 up to Tesla and all similar models.
There will be no compromise.
Our focus was on coupe-like designs, which almost every modern car has nowadays. Even station wagons have an increasingly deeper rear end. That is exactly what we have been aiming for. We have a specific number of models that we kept an eye on; feel free to ask us for it.
Automotive design and customer requirements have changed dramatically in the past few years. The roof box market, on the other hand, continues to produce the same standard product. Until now. (: Because from now on, there will be no compromises!
