Inspiration

Martin Wiesner always had two seemingly opposing interests: Classic Porsches and cutting-edge technology. It's therefore no surprise that he found a way to combine these passions into a business that creates modern parts for classic Porsches.

It started in the nineties with the impossible task of making a Karmann Ghia go faster. This required a lot of modification, fabrication and out-of-the-box thinking. This was an excellent foundation for what was to come later. By the time Martin progressed to Porsches, the desire to improve every single part of a car was burned into his DNA.

The Rationale

As new technologies developed, in particular 3d scanning and 3d printing, it became possible to produce ever more complex objects. The aim was initially to develop performance parts but it soon became apparent that 3d printing could also be used to produce no-longer-available (NLA) parts. In many cases these parts were tougher than the originals they replaced and, as always, improvements were made where possible.

It turns out that modern technology can also be used to recreate classic Porsche parts in miniature, making it possible to appreciate them in new ways. Others felt the same and soon there was a waiting list for tiny Porsche parts in wooden frames.

All of this eventually turned into a business and today, from their UK-based studio, Wiesner Classic serves customers all over the world, bringing old parts back to life - big and small.

Porsche Inspired Artwork

When we look at a classic Porsche we see a symphony of mechanical art, all working together in harmony to create a masterpiece. These parts need to be appreciated for what they are: mechanical works of art. It's our purpose to bring them to life and let them shine.

Classic 911 Air Control Box

For decades this air control box distributed air through the cabins of various Porsche 911 models. Nothing lasts forever though and today many of them need replacement parts. Unfortunately Porsche no longer make these air control boxes or any of their parts. Find out how we solved this problem.

996 Ducktail Grilles

One way of improving the somewhat bland rear end of the 996 is by fitting an aftermarket ducktail. However it looks somewhat unfinished with the standard plastic mesh grille. Here's how we created a functional, attractive grille that will set your 996 apart.
