Lightweight body with full use of carbon fiber

The most famous restomod based on the Porsche 911 is Singer.

But in this world, another new masterpiece has been created.

Gunther Works is a company that specializes in modern reinterpretations of the Porsche 911 (993 generation), especially those with air-cooled engines.

The most significant feature of the GWR is its thorough weight reduction. By using carbon fiber for all body panels, they have succeeded in reducing the vehicle weight to only 1080 kg. This is an astonishingly light weight for a modern sports car.

The body design has also been optimized for aerodynamic performance. The front fascia features large air intakes and a black splitter, and the hood is said to have air extractors. At the rear, a bold ducktail spoiler is fitted, adding a modern interpretation to the 911's traditional silhouette.

Furthermore, even the exhaust pipes are said to be manufactured using 3D printing technology. GuntherWorks' thorough approach can be seen in the attention to these details.

Motorsports-inspired interior

The GWR's interior design seems to combine motorsports-inspired functionality with luxurious craftsmanship. Carbon-fiber bucket seats and dashboard are used to combine light weight with a luxurious feel.

The steering wheel is wrapped in Alcantara, and the gold gauges and 12 o'clock marker are said to add a special touch. These details seem to have achieved the perfect balance of retaining the classic 911 feel while incorporating modern elements.

Stunning sound produced by naturally aspirated engine

While many restomod cars use turbochargers, GWR has stuck to naturally aspirated engines.
The 4.0-liter horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine is a high-revving type that turns at a whopping 9,000 rpm.

The maximum output is said to be 368 kW (500 hp) and the maximum torque 461 Nm. These figures suggest that an exciting driving experience can be expected. In addition, the engine response is said to have been improved through the use of a specially designed throttle body, new intake manifold, and lightweight titanium components.

The sharp response characteristic of naturally aspirated engines and the sensual sound that blows up to 9,000 rpm are sure to strike a chord with drivers.

Precision-tuned chassis

In the development of the GWR, it appears that much attention was paid not only to the engine and bodywork, but also to the chassis. The wheelbase has been extended by 30 mm compared to the standard 993 911, and double wishbones have been adopted for the front suspension.

In addition to these changes, the GWR is said to have extremely precise handling and excellent agility due to the use of lightweight magnesium wheels. It is said to offer a truly "Jinba Ittai" driving feel, responding faithfully to the driver's intentions.

The price of the GWR has not been disclosed, but production is said to be limited to just 40 units. The price will no doubt be quite high for a car that has been so thoroughly built.

The GWR is the ultimate restomod car, combining the soul of the classic 911 with the latest technology and outstanding performance, and is filled with respect and passion for the Porsche 911.
Following Singer's lead, this one is likely to create a big buzz among Porsche owners.
