Rack Attack Team
When you need to get to the mountain fast and in style there's only one vehicle to turn to. A Porsche. Our customer came to us with his 2004 Porsche 911 C4S looking for ways to get his skis to the mountain. Yes, that's an all-wheel drive Porsche convertible we're talking about here. Fortunately, he uses the optional hard top during the winter months. If you're familiar with the Porsche 911 nomenclature, this would be of the 996 era. Meaning a rack such as this would be applicable to 911's from 1998-2005.
Atop the factory hard top we mounted a Yakima Fixed Point rack system consisting of the following: Yakima Landing Pad 7 Yakima Control Towers Yakima 48" Crossbars Yakima SKS Locks Together, these components create an ultra secure base rack system that any rack accessory can easily be attached to.
Based on the customers wishes, maximum ski length, and desired appearance; a Yakima LoPro 15 box was mounted on the Porsche. This box allows you to carry up to a 225cm ski as well as duffel bags, boots, etc. It has a sleek low profile and a look that lends itself to the lines of the Porsche quite perfectly.
