While the 993-generation of Porsche’s legendary 911 marked the end of the air-cooled era, it also sparked a thriving niche industry focused on custom air-cooled Porsches. Many of these businesses have become renowned globally, with dedicated followers both at car shows and online.
Among them, Gunther Werks of Huntington Beach, California, stands out by taking the 993 to an entirely new level of excellence. Gunther Werks describes their “Remastered” 911s as what Porsche might be building today if production of the 993 hadn’t ceased in 1998.
In this video, we get an exclusive first look at Gunther Werks’ latest creation: the GWR. Tim Burton from the Shmee150 YouTube channel will walk us through the GWR’s features, including its 4L naturally aspirated flat-six engine, extensive use of carbon fiber, and ultra-lightweight build!
