RML GT Hypercar: The Porsche 911 Turbo S Reborn as a Road-Legal Monster

For years, Porsche’s 918 Hybrid sat atop the German marque’s hypercar hierarchy—a technologic tour de force that few could rival. But since its retirement, the crown has been unclaimed… until now. Enter RML Group, the British engineering outfit known for its no-compromise approach to performance, with a machine that doesn’t just pay homage to the 911—it utterly transmogrifies it.

Meet the RML GT Hypercar (GTH), a radical reinterpretation of the Porsche 911 Turbo S, drenched in motorsport DNA and engineering bravado. First teased last year as the P39 prototype, the GTH has now matured into production reality, with the first model debuting as the 40th Anniversary Special Edition—a one-off celebration that hints at the full potential of RML’s vision.

The GTH keeps just a whisper of its Porsche heritage: glass, mirrors, and lighting elements nod politely to the original. Everything else screams innovation. Carbon fiber dominates, flared fenders swell with purpose, the tail stretches like a Le Mans prototype, and aerodynamic treatments hug every contour. The result? A silhouette that is simultaneously familiar and ferociously exotic—a 911 for the racetrack, yet still capable of daily road life.

This first SE example is painted in Storm Purple, with exposed carbon details and purple-carbon inserts on the roof and hood. Gold-painted central-locking wheels hide gunmetal calipers, while the nose wears a Porsche-esque RML logo and the rear proudly displays hand-painted “GTH” lettering in gold. Inside, leather upholstery with Crayon stitching, matching seatbelts, body-colored carbon inserts, and a Storm Purple roll cage elevate the cabin to something more race car than road car.

Performance isn’t just for show. The rear-mounted 3.7-liter twin-turbo flat-six, reworked by Litchfield Motors, churns out a staggering 925 hp and over 1,000 Nm of torque. That’s hypercar territory, where the line between “killer of Porsches” and “Porsche killer” blurs deliciously. Optional Performance and Track packages add active height-adjustable suspension, the roll cage, and delete the rear seats, ensuring every gram of performance is track-focused.

RML plans a very limited run: 39 units, with just 10 of the 40th Anniversary SE. Prices start at £495,000, excluding tax and the cost of the donor 911 Turbo S. For those who demand exclusivity and blistering performance in one package, the GTH isn’t just a car—it’s a statement.

From its Wellingborough facility, RML has delivered its 39th project since 1984, proving that while some brands rest on legacy, true engineering alchemy comes from ambition, audacity, and a touch of madness. The GTH is exactly that: a 911 you think you know, transformed into a hypercar you’ll never forget.

RML P39 40th Special Edition

RML Group is known for its interesting projects such as converting the Aston Martin Vulcan racer into a road legal car. This year they celebrate their 40th birthday, and on that occasion they presented the P39 40th Special Edition.

The P39 40th Special Edition is based on the Porsche 911 Turbo S (992.1) modified to resemble the racing 911 GT1 of the 1990s, designed by Tony Hatter and Norbert Singer. We saw something similar in August when RML introduced the P39 Kit.

It’s powered by a turbocharged 3.8-liter 6-cylinder boxer engine that delivers 900 hp (662 kW) and 737 lb-ft (1,000 Nm) of torque, instead of the 650 hp (478 kW) and 590 lb-ft (800 Nm) that has a Porsche 911 Turbo S.

With adaptive body aerodynamics and a longer wheelbase, in Track mode and at a speed of 250 km/h, the car’s cornering grip is 4.5 times greater than that of the 911 Turbo S. Also, the driver can choose Tour mode, which provides additional ground clearance, and the adaptive suspension is softer and more comfortable. Inside, the rear seats have been removed and a roll cage has been installed.

The company said that the P39 40th Special Edition can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) 0.2 seconds faster than the standard 911 Turbo S, and has a top speed of 330 km/h (205 mph). Also, they claim that it is 4 seconds faster than the current Porsche 911 GT3 RS on the Nürburgring Nordschleife.

RML Group will produce only 10 units of the P39 40th Special Edition and each will cost 578,000 euros. The price does not include the donor Porsche 911 Turbo S.
