Gunther Werks has quickly established itself as one of the premiere restomod companies for classic Porsche 911 models and at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering held over the weekend, showcased its latest project known as the Touring Turbo Edition Coupe.
The car is similar to other Gunther Werks projects in that it is fitted with a custom Rothsport Racing six-cylinder engine with two turbochargers and displacing 4.0-liters. This engine delivers an extraordinary 750 hp and is coupled to a Getrag six-speed manual transmission. To put the 750 hp into perspective, that means the car has 60 hp more than the 991-generation Porsche 911 GT2 RS, all in a much smaller and more compact vehicle.
The key point of difference between the Touring Turbo Edition Coupe and other turbocharged offerings from Gunther Werks is that it is rocking a duck tail-style rear spoiler. Not only does this spoiler look cool but it has been designed to optimize airflow around the engine bay and works in conjunction with a distinctive carbon fiber shroud that generates a ram air effect for the highly-strung engine.

As with other Gunther Werks projects, all of the body panels of the Touring Turbo Edition Coupe are made from lightweight carbon fiber, meaning it weighs approximately 500 lbs (227 kg) less than it did when it first left the Porsche factory. These new body panels also make the car look much more modern and are complemented with new LED headlights and taillights.
Gunther Werks has also worked tirelessly to transform the cabin of the car. It features a lightweight carbon fiber dashboard and includes new gauges, including a central tachometer finished in red. The car is also rocking a bespoke three-spoke carbon fiber steering wheel wrapped in black Alcantara. A pair of carbon fiber-backed bucket seats with black Alcantara have also been fitted, as have a selection of bright orange accents.
