In talks with: Porsche 911 owner Aj Fredanov

AJ Fredanov, drag racer, car collector, and certified petrolhead, takes the time out of his busy schedule to talk to us about his passion and all things automotive.

Name:
Aj  Fredanov

Vehicle you own:
2017 Porsche 911 Turbo S - 991.2

What got you into cars:
For as long as I can remember, I’ve always been surrounded by them. As a child it was diecast models, as a teenager it was R/C cars, and as I grew older my passion and toys grew proportionally. Today, I not only tinker with cars in my free time, but also collect them and race for two teams in the UAE.

What’s unique about your car:
First things first, my Porsche 911 is one of the first five models that came into the country as a 2017 model in April. Not only does it feature an over boost function (something along the lines of a legal NOS), but it also offers a phenomenal launch control system that can be abused an umpteen number of times, because trust me, hitting 100 km/h from a standstill in 2.5 seconds is absolutely addictive!

What upgrades do you have in the pipeline:
While the car is already equipped with a great amount such as LED lights, carbon ceramic brakes, and larger turbos, it’s difficult not to want to upgrade it. At this point in time, I’ve just received my Moshammer aero rear wing from Germany and am eyeing a titanium exhaust and an improved air intake system for the coming months. An ECU remap and a fresh set of sticky NITTO tires is also on the list.

Name one car you’d swap yours for:
My Porsche 911 Turbo S honestly is my favorite, but if I absolutely had to pick, I’d be happy to add the Pagani Huayra to my collection.
