“For us, only BILSTEIN comes into question!”



For over 35 years, Wagner Motorsport from Kolbermoor near Rosenheim has been considered one of the top addresses when it comes to Porsche vehicles. The Bavarian company specialises in the repair and optimisation of Porsche sports cars of all years of manufacture. Owner Hans Wagner and his son Manuel pay particular attention to installation and tuning of suspensions.



The company has been an official BILSTEIN suspension expert since 2013. But even before that, the Porsche specialists relied exclusively on suspension systems from BILSTEIN. “It was always clear to us that only BILSTEIN was an option. Because BILSTEIN is the suspension manufacturer that works best on Porsche vehicles in our opinion,” Manuel Wagner is convinced. And if customers do want to have a competitor's suspension installed?



“In these cases, we can usually convince our customers of our favourite brand,” smiles Manuel Wagner. So, there is little room for discussion – and the current project conversion by Wagner Motorsport makes no difference. As a demonstration vehicle, and to show customers what is possible, the Wagner Motorsport team has converted a Porsche 993, built in 1995, into a racetrack-ready RSR.


To do this, the old 911 was completely stripped down to the bodyshell. A 3.8-litre six-cylinder boxer engine found its way into the rear of the 993. Thanks to a flat-slide intake system, a Fuchs stainless steel racing exhaust system and optimised engine management, the classic air-cooled unit mobilises an appropriate 330 hp. As of now – because the team is already working on even more engine power.


Naturally, a suspension system from BILSTEIN was also fitted. In line with its purpose, Wagner Motorsport, in collaboration with the BILSTEIN Service Centre N.T.P. in Bolzano/Italy, fitted a special version of the BILSTEIN MDS 2-way racing suspension. This ensures maximum performance in the green-painted racing car and can be adjusted in ten
clearly perceptible clicks in rebound and compression stage. Just the right thing for use on the racetrack. Speaking of which: the Porsche completed its first test drive in style at the Salzburgring. “The package worked excellently, especially the suspension”, says Manuel Wagner happily.


You don’t need much imagination to realise that this Porsche 911 RSR will sweep the customers off their feet – and arouse interest in similarly ambitious projects. However, Manuel Wagner is relaxed about a possible rush of customers: Only recently, the Bavarians expanded their workshop by a whopping 225 square metres.
