The Porsche 911 GT1, produced between 1996 and 1998, was a racing car specifically designed for the FIA GT Championship. It was powered by a 3.2-liter twin-turbo flat-six engine that delivered around 600 horsepower, and featured a carbon fiber and aluminum chassis, advanced aerodynamics, and a high-tech suspension system.
The 911 GT1 earned notable success, including a win at the 1998 24 Hours of Le Mans. To meet homologation requirements, Porsche also produced a small number of road-legal versions, known as the 911 GT1 Straßenversion, making it one of Porsche’s most iconic and rare models.
Tuthill’s GT One, unveiled at the 2024 Monterey Car Week, is a completely different kind of vehicle. Unlike the track-oriented 911 GT1, the GT One is a street-legal supercar with a carbon fiber body.
Every aspect, from the sculpted tail with an integrated spoiler to the roof-mounted air intake and custom wheels, is meticulously crafted. The car features LED lighting with a classic Porsche design, an aerodynamic underbody, and an optional track-focused aerodynamic package.
Inside, the GT One offers an exclusive two-seater beige interior with a digital instrument panel, a classic three-spoke steering wheel, racing-style switches, built-in rollover protection, and carbon fiber door elements. The car’s equipment includes double-wishbone suspension, carbon-ceramic brakes, and custom brake calipers.
The GT One is available with two 4.0-liter engine options: a naturally aspirated flat-six with 500 horsepower and a turbocharged version with over 600 hp, with either a manual transmission or a dual-clutch gearbox. According to Tuthill, each GT One will be unique, requiring up to 3,500 hours to assemble, with pricing and availability yet to be announced.
