Theon Design is rapidly establishing itself as a prominent figure in the realm of 911 restomods, specializing in the 964-generation Porsche 911 from 1989 to 1994. Founded by Englishman Adam Hawley, who brings an impressive technical background to the table, having served as a designer for over 15 years prior to Theon Design’s inception. His professional journey included roles in the automotive industry, collaborating with renowned names like Lotus, BMW, and Jaguar, as well as experiences in the aerospace sector.
Similar to Singer, Theon Design focuses exclusively on modifying the Porsche 964. However, unlike Singer, their aim is not to “redefine” the Porsche 911 but rather to “refine” an already exceptional vehicle. The process of creating a Theon Design 911 begins with a solid, accident-free Porsche 964 donor car with a perfectly straight chassis.
This car is stripped down to its bare shell and placed on a jig to ensure absolute geometric precision. Subsequently, the spot welds are replaced with seam welds to enhance both structural integrity and visual aesthetics. The car is then reassembled, featuring bespoke Theon body panels, a flat-six engine of the customer’s choice, and a unique refinishing. Theon vehicles also incorporate extensive use of carbon fiber in the interior, rear spoiler, front bumpers, rear bumpers, and other internal body components to reduce weight wherever possible.
Based on a 1989 964 Carrera 4, this specific Theon Design 911, labeled ‘HK001,’ was the first of its kind to be commissioned and ordered for Hong Kong. It is finished in Slate Grey metallic, adorned with silver billet door mirrors, chrome accents, and an interior featuring ‘Muirhead’ perforated leather in Mulberry Red and Highland Bark.
This is complemented by ‘pepper and salt’ carpets, Alcantara headlining, and black leather with red stitching on the steering wheel and dashboard. Power is derived from a 3.8-liter engine, delivering approximately 375 horsepower, which is channeled to the rear wheels through a five-speed manual gearbox and a limited-slip differential.
