Front wheel turbo fan aero disc in dry carbon fibre for Aluminium wheel. Porsche 718 GT4 RS

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:

• Porsche Cayman GT4 718 4.0L / GT4 RS 718 4.0L 

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.
