Remastered Porsche 911 (993) Turbo with 700 hp

After last year’s Porsche 993 Speedster Remastered, American tuner Gunther Werks has unveiled its new work, Project Tornado. It is a remastered Porsche 911 (993) Turbo.

Project Tornado is a modern version of the 911 (993) Turbo model with an ultra-wide body, a unique interior, 700 hp and LED headlights taken from the 993 Speedster. It is equipped with Porsche GT elements that include a carbon body, a new front bumper with larger air intakes, a new splitter, front wheel arches with integrated vents, new side skirts, wide rear wheel arches with large intakes, active suspension, a large rear wing with functional vents for cooling, a new rear bumper, rear fenders with a ram-air intake, a large diffuser and two tailpipes made of Inconel and titanium using a 3D printer.

Inside, the carbon fiber seat buckets are covered in a combination of Alcantara and orange and black leather with orange stitching, while the door panels are made of carbon fiber. The steering wheel is covered with Alcantara, which can also be seen on the dashboard and floor mats.

When it comes to propulsion, Project Tornado is powered by an air-cooled 4.0-liter flat-six twin-turbo engine that in race mode delivers 700 hp (522 kW) and 560 lb-ft (759 Nm) of torque. In standard form, the engine delivers 600 hp (447 kW). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission. It is mounted on a set of lightweight 18-inch carbon-magnesium rims, while for safe braking and stopping there are Brembo CCMR brakes.

Gunther Werks will produce just 25 examples of the Project Tornado, and the price has not been announced.
