The tale of the Porsche 911 ducktail
Exactly 50 years ago to buy Carrera Tail Spoiler Porsche 911 online, Porsche unveiled a car with a design and engineering feature that looked like nothing ever seen before on a production road car. It didn’t take long for posters of it to adorn the walls of petrolheads of all ages the world over. Today – just as it did half a century ago – there are few sportscars that raise the temperature quite like the 911 Carrera RS 2.7 and its distinctive “ducktail” rear wing. It was the trailblazer for the dramatic aerodynamic rear wings that we have seen on the fastest Porsche road cars ever since – although in ducktail form itself, it has only been seen again briefly.
The original ducktail rear wing: 911 Carrera RS 2.7 (1972)
Today, we are used to distinctive aerodynamic additions to modern sportscars. But the ducktail – so nicknamed by the Porsche marketing department due to its characteristic shape – was truly radical. It was the world’s first rear spoiler on a production vehicle.

Excellent service and delivery. Just wish they had more parts available for our 1979 Porsche 924, but we’re impressed with how many OEM parts are still available.
