Obsession with weight reduction - F1-grade carbon fiber is used throughout

There is no shortage of companies in pursuit of the perfect Porsche 911. Among them is the BritishTheon Designis said to be attracting a lot of attention for its restomods specifically designed for the 964 911. The company's latest creation, "Theon R," is the ultimate 964, with a thorough focus on weight reduction.

Theon R's greatest feature is the generous use of F1-grade carbon fiber inside and out; these parts, which were developed in conjunction with an F1 composite supplier, include a lightweight carbon tub weighing only 4 kg. This allows the R to be as rigid as a modern 911, while at the same time achieving an incredible weight reduction.

Gross weight of the vehicle is less than 1,000 kgThis is said to be lighter than any of the current 911 models, including the latest GT3 RS. In addition, the car's attention to weight reduction can be seen in every detail, such as the magnesium wheels combined with carbon fiber barrels.

Carbon fiber aero package for aerodynamic performance

Theon R also features a carbon fiber aero package. This package, which includes a front splitter, rear diffuser, dynamic "whale tail" rear wing, and flat floor, appears to combine weight reduction with improved aerodynamics.

The brake system also shows particular attention to detail. They use carbon ceramic brakes as standard, and 993 RS brakes are available as an option. These lightweight parts combined with a powerful engine make the Theon R literally a lightweight monster.
