There are many well-known tuners specialized in upgrading sports cars, especially Porsche models, and one of those not so well-known, Fogline Industries, presented its latest work based on the Porsche 964.

Fogline Industries is an American company whose work is signed by engineer Allen Bischofberger, more expensive than similar creations from Singer, Theon Design, Paul Stephens or Gunter Werks. It is equipped with a new titanium exhaust system, carbon components thanks to which it weighs only 1,220 kg, Brembo brakes and adjustable suspension, front bumper with openings, oil cooler and six-piston calipers.

Inside, the Recaro seats are trimmed in blue leather by DJ Interiors Custom, which also covers the door panels and dashboard as well as the three-spoke Sparco steering wheel. There are also redesigned analog instruments as well as a small multimedia display compatible with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay applications.

Under the hood is an air-cooled 4.0L six-cylinder boxer with 425 hp (312 kW) at 7,800 rpm, which sounds really powerful. The car is mounted on 18″ ultralight wheels wrapped in 265 mm (front) and 305 mm (rear) tires.

When it comes to price, Fogline Industries is asking 1.14 million euros for this restomod.
