Gunther Werks 400R: Is This Another Ultimate 911?
In a time when the Porsche list is nothing short of grotesque, to find the ultimate 911 we often find ourselves looking elsewhere, where to be honest, between tuners and restomodders there is plenty of choice. If the first name that comes to mind can be Singer, that of Gunther Werks is without a doubt the second, and after seeing their latest creation closely, we are still trying to close our mouth, ended up on the floor after finding that the purity of the 993 here has been left intact.
Analog feel as Porsche created in first place, but with a carbon fiber frame, ceramic brakes and active suspension surrounding an air-cooled 4-liter flat-six able to deliver 400 horses after the careful work done by Rothsport Racing. The indescribable feeling of a 993 has therefore not lost, indeed it benefits from the use of technologies that at the time were not yet present or used only on cars with unreachable prices and now put at the service of the 25 pieces that will be produced and put on the road, even with further specific requests from the lucky customers.
Also in the passenger compartment, carbon fiber is one of the key aspects that make this 400R more special than any ‘Ring lap record. The combination of red leather and carbon, the clean lines and the instrumentation maintained as God commands, finds the apex in the middle, where the lever of the manual gearbox stands out, demonstrating that here we are dealing with emotions. Emotions above everything else.
