GUNTHER WERKS REIMAGINES THE PORSCHE 993!

The Gunther Werks ‘400R’ is an example of a bespoke coach car builder using contemporary automotive engineering techniques and components to classic air-cooled Porsche ‘911’s’. For this example, the Porsche 993, it is the last air-cooled model of its kind, and the vehicle is what many consider to be the ‘last real’ Porsche.

Gunther Werks’ bespoke modifications to this Porsche ‘993’ include a bespoke wing, and special carbon fibre bodywork applied to the fenders, roof, and bumpers – the former of having been extended 30 mm to welcome larger tires. 

Those were required for the 4.0 litre, naturally aspirated, flat-six engine built by both sports racing that produces 400 psi and 330 pound-feet of torque while singing up to a redline of 7800 rpm. 

This is paired with a six-speed manual transmission custom-built by Getrag, with gear ratios determined specifically for the ‘400R’. The sports car’s new Coilover suspension features a hydraulic lift system, plus anti-roll bars at the front, and back. 

The 18-inch forged raw aluminium wheels cover two-piece drilled rotors from Brembo, which are coupled with a set of new high-pressure brake lines. stepping inside the Porsche's interior also gets an upgrade, with highlights including bespoke Gunther Werks carbon fibre seats, plus a carbon fibre parcel shelf in place of the rear seats. The entire cabin’s colours and materials can be customized, while 18 exterior paint finishes can be chosen from.
