Porsche 911 (993) Bubblegum

The Goodwood Festival of Speed has started and on the first day we saw the restomod Porsche 911 (993) Bubblegum, made by Gunther Werks. This is the latest work of a company that specializes in Porsche cars, especially the legendary 911.

The car is finished in a special pink pearl shade with ultra fine metallic shades, and it was done for a special client from Great Britain. A stripped carbon line runs down the middle of the car, and Gunther Werks say this unique creation marks the company’s official debut in various European markets and the UK.

There is little information about this unique car. However, there is a lot of speculation. Some believe, when it comes to the powertrain, that under the hood is a 4.0L flat-six twin-turbo engine with 700 hp (515 kW) paired with a manual gearbox that sends power to the rear wheels. This would mean that the engineers used the same engine as on last year’s Project Tornado.

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 sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual transmission.

It is equipped with a carbon body, a large rear wing with functional vents for cooling, wide rear wheel arches, and a new splitter. Inside are carbon fiber seat buckets covered in black Alcantara with pink stitching. The steering wheel is also wrapped in black Alcantara with pink stitching, while the door panels are made of carbon fiber. The dashboard is covered in black leather.
