Gunther Werks creates modern remake of classic Porsche 993

The Gunther Werks 400R which made its debut at the 2017 Quail is the latest example of a tuning company applying modern automotive engineering and components to classic air-cooled Porsche 911 models. This model is a remake of the classic Porsche 993, the last of its air-cooled kind and the car many consider the last real Porsche. Priced at about $600,000 which includes the donor 993 and the customisation by Gunther Werks, this model is a super limited edition of which only 25 units will be made. The 400R Porsche 993 features various upgrades such as the naturally aspirated 4.0 liter flat-six engine, made for them by Rothsport Racing of Oregon,  belting out 400 bhp kick at 7,800 rpm and 330 ft-lb. of torque. The transmission is updated from shift linkage to a single mass mid-weight flywheel and single-plate carbon clutch. The body features a special bespoke wing and carbon fiber bodywork on the roof, bumpers, and fenders widened to accommodate larger tires. Interior upgrades include special Gunther Werks carbon fiber seats and a carbon fiber parcel shelf in place of the rear seats. The whole cabin is also highly customizable in terms of colors and materials, and there are 18 exterior paint options available, or you can opt for custom work.
