At the recent Monterey Car Week, many cars and projects were presented, and one of them was the Gunther Werks project, the GWR. It is a restomod based on the Porsche 993.

The car is equipped with a lightweight carbon fiber body, double wishbone front suspension, integrated S ducting on the hood that generates high-pressure downforce over the front axles, tinted LED daytime running lights and headlights, boosting traction and precision handling, a front bumper with a built-in wicker, fender extraction louvers, and aero vents that channel air away from the tires, an open-air rear bumper, vented ducktail spoiler, and additional taillight vents to more efficiently expel engine heat, improving overall efficiency. There are also the ends of the exhaust pipes made with a 3D printer and the LED light strip that adorns the rear of the car. Also, the wheelbase has been increased, which is now 30 mm longer than that of the standard Porsche 993.

The interior is a work of art. Carbon bucket seats are covered in Alcantara, while carbon covers the dashboard and door panels. In front of the driver, the steering wheel is covered with Alcantara.

When it comes to the powertrain, the GWR is powered by a 4.0-L naturally aspirated 6-cylinder engine with over 500 hp (368 kW) at 9,000 rpm and 340 lb-ft (461 Nm) of torque, mated to a Getrag G50 transmission that is fully re-engineered with custom gear ratios, providing an optimal balance of performance, refinement, and touring capability. Weighing just 2400 lbs, it boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 4.8 lbs per horsepower, ensuring exceptional acceleration and responsiveness.

Gunther Werks will build just 40 cars, and pricing has not been announced.
