The Italian company Lab Eleven, specialized in Porsche 993 models, presented another project based on this car. It’s a restomod Porsche 911 (993) that got a new life.

Each car undergoes 4,000 hours of work which includes removing the original engine, tuning the chassis, refinishing the suspension and installing new aluminum, magnesium or carbon body panels. Customers can choose from 100 body colors and more than 200 total personalization colors.

Lab Eleven equipped the car with F-model front hood, metal sheet bonnet, carbon front and rear bumpers, enlarged rear end fenders, enlarged front fender, LED front headlights, mirrors model ‘RSR’, original windshield and rear window, Fuchs patterned wheels with diamond profile, Porsche lettering and stripes on the side and stripes on the front and rear bumper.

The body has also been lowered, and new ‘Bilstein’ shock absorbers and suspension system, new original brake calipers, and a new ‘Cargraphic Performance’ exhaust system have been installed.

Inside, buyers can choose from comfortable “Recaro” or “Sport” carbon seats. Alcantara covers dashboard, roof, ‘RSR’ steering wheel which can also be covered in leather, and interior doors with electric windows which can be covered in leather or braided leather.

When it comes to the powertrain, a complete overhaul of engine and transmission was done, and a mileage counter is set on ‘Zero’ again. Buyers can choose between 3.6-L, 3.8-L and 4.0-L engines, rated at 300 to 400 hp (294 kW), mated to a Getrag 6-speed transmission.

The price of this restomod Porsche 911 (993 ) is unknown.

Leave a comment

Expert for high-performance Porsche road vehicles and uncompromising Porsche race cars, Manthey Racing, has unveiled a new equipment kit for the Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992.1).

The 911 GT3 RS is a true racer, a super sports car that leaves everyone speechless. Now, thanks to aerodynamic components that increase downforce to 1,000 kilograms at a speed of 285 km/h, it raises the bar for all competitors.

Aiming for perfection, Manthey Racing equipped the car with a new front lip spoiler, carbon flaps, a front splitter with wheel arch gurney, roof fins, a carbon fiber shark-Fin with rear window insert, carbon fiber end plates, a two-piece DRS made of carbon fiber, a front axle underbody cover, a rear diffuser, a Manthey decal set, and lightweight carbon wheel covers.

The car also gets a semi-active suspension, new shock absorbers with variable settings, racing-spec brake pads, an illuminated carbon door sill panel and an LED door projector.

There are no changes to the powertrain. The 911 GT3 RS is powered by a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine with 518 hp (386 kW) and 343 lb-ft (465 Nm) of torque. The engine is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch (PDK) transmission. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 3.2 seconds with a top speed of 184 mph (296 km/h).

Manthey Racing will offer this equipment kit at Porsche centres across the UK for £99,999.

Porsche produced the last 911 Dakar

Leave a comment

At the 2022 LA Auto Show Porsche revealed a limited edition version of its all-road car, the Porsche 911 Dakar. It is based on the Carrera 4 and Porsche planned to produce 2,500 examples of this model. A few days ago, a unique example was produced for an Italian customer, which is also the last 911 Dakar.

With this model, Porsche paid tribute to the Porsche 911 (953), which won the famous Paris-Dakar rally in 1984. The car has a slightly higher ground clearance than the Carrera, which in Off-Road mode can be increased by an additional 8 cm in height , and in Rallye mode the distance can be reduced from 8 to 5 cm.

This example is finished in a combination of yellow, dark blue and light blue. It is equipped with a new front bumper, revised air intakes, fixed rear wing, round exhaust pipes and a single-piece light bar under the rear wing.

911 Dakar is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged boxer 6 engine with 473 hp (348 kW) and 420 lb-ft (570 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK). It reaches 60 mph in 3.4 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 149 mph (240 km/h). It’s mounted on a set of 19 and 20-inch wheels wrapped in 245/45 R19 (front) and 295/40 R20 (rear) all-terrain tires.

The car will be displayed in a museum before being delivered to the customer in Italy.
