Guenther Werks: Remastered To Perfection
Gunther Werks took the beloved 911 platform and elevated it, meticulously disassembling it and replacing several exterior panels with lightweight carbon fiber. Even more carbon fiber was woven into the chassis itself, ensuring exceptional strength and lightness.
The car benefits from a potent suspension system that combines JRZ adjustable coil-overs with remote reservoirs, custom rear control arms, uprated anti-rollbars, lightweight uprights, and a front strut brace. This combination of high-performance components works in harmony with the carbon fiber to deliver a thrilling driving experience.
Power Unleashed
Oregon-based Rothsport Road and Race took the responsibility of breathing life into the revamped interior. The original 3.6-liter flat-six engine was rebuilt and expanded to four liters, featuring forged internals and race-spec components.
A two-stage MoTec engine management system and a custom intake design, inspired by the intake plenum of a 996-series Porsche 911 GT3, were added to maximize performance. The result is an astonishing 435 horsepower and 312 ft lbs of torque, propelling the car to new heights of speed and responsiveness.
A Rare Find
Each of the limited 25 Remastered Carreras is individually named and adorned with its unique identification embossed on the door sill, along with the inscription “Limited to 1 of 25”. Notably, the car up for auction is the “;Rennsport Aventura” and is reported to be the final piece from this exclusive run.
Originally commissioned for $778,888 before delivery fees, this automotive masterpiece is estimated to fetch between $900,000 and $1,100,000 when bidding opens on January 24, 2025.
For Porsche enthusiasts and collectors alike, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a piece of automotive history.
