Porsche 911 (993) Speedster

California-based company Gunther Werks is a master at turning the Porsche 993 into a work of art. After the 993 Speedster Remastered, another Porsche 911 (993) went through the Gunther Werk workshop.

This specially made car is painted in dark purple with light stripes on both sides. It is equipped with adjustable suspension, carbon fiber front spoiler, centrally placed exhaust pipes, redesigned rear tail, revised differential. For safe braking and stopping, there are Brembo six-piston calipers at the front and four-piston stoppers at the rear, as well as forged wheels.

Inside, black leather and Alcantara were used, while the carbon fiber seats are upholstered in houndstooth material. Also, carbon fiber can be seen on the retro dashboard as well as on the door panels.

The Purple 911 (993) is powered by a 4.0-liter flat-six engine with 435 hp (324 kW) at 7,800 rpm and 335 lb-ft (454 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to the rear axle via a six-speed manual gearbox.

The car was made for their client @porschelifenyc.

Lamborghini will not give up on its V12 engine

As it seems, Lamborghini will definitely not give up on its V12 engine, as the arrival of the successor to the Lamborghini Anentador has been announced for 2023. After the LP 780-4 ULTIMAE, the new supersport model from Lamborghini will be the first model in the history of the brand with a V12 engine assisted by electrification.

The V12 engine has been completely redesigned, confirmed Stephan Winkelmann, President and CEO of Lamborghini Cars S.p.A.

“The technology is different, it’s a whole new engine, a whole new drive, a new battery, everything is brand new,” Stephan Winkelmann said.

The more expressive design is based on Sian FKP or Essenza SCV12. The distinctive body shape will be retained as well as the doors that open upwards, while aerodynamic elements such as the large wing and rear diffuser will be even more emphasized.

Lamborghini is planned to produce hybrid versions of all its models by 2024, while the all-electric Lamborghini has been announced by the end of the decade.
