Gunther Werks Project Tornado turns the 993 Porsche 911 into a 700-hp RWD monster
[BACK]
Posted On: August 22, 2022
It's named Project Tornado, and the specifications make it sound like it might just rip like its namesake.
At last week's Monterey Car Week, Gunther Werks took the wraps off its latest creation: a remastered air-cooled Porsche 993 with 700 hp, a 6-speed manual transmission, and rear-wheel drive.

The engine is almost a piece of art in its own right when the rear deck is popped open. A twin-turbo 4.0-liter flat-6 built by Rothsport Racing produces 600 hp in standard form, but Track mode will increase output to 700 hp and more than 560 lb-ft of torque. Gunther Werks noted the engine uses a flat fan and liquid charged cooling system derived from racing. A Motec engine management system is also onboard.
The power goes to only the rear wheels and every car has three pedals with a 6-speed manual transmission.

Each car commissioned will be tailored to the buyer's specification with a custom interior and exterior color palette. Carbon-fiber body panels feature functional aerodynamics optimized for cooling and downforce. Gunther Werks didn't mention how much downforce the car produces but noted the composite panels shaved 500 lb from the original platform.
Inside, there's a carbon-fiber steering wheel with integrated controls enabling the Track mode and a nose lift system. Modern amenities include wireless smartphone charging and integration for both a smartphone or tablet. The carbon-fiber bucket seats feature both five-point and three-point safety belts.
An optional Touring package swaps in hollow carbon-fiber seats, a ducktail rear spoiler, a carbon-fiber front trunk lid, and remapped engine tuned for "leisurely driving," according to Gunther Werks.
Pricing hasn't been announced, but if you have to ask you probably can't afford it.

I love the new 911! Have been a Porsche fan for many years. And personally own 2 911’s. True masterpieces of machines.

This is a quick report as Porsche ownership is very subjective. Have owned an older Porsche Boxster since 2013, and must mention its easily the best car I have ever owed in 40 years. Mine's old, but its like an old race horse, it might be old but its still a race horse. If your lucky enough to own any Porsche, make the most of it whilst possible, before all vehicles become electric and loose their ability to excite the spirit and imagination.
