Gunther Werks Unveils GXR‑Evo, a 993-Based, Analog-Focused Track Restomod

The car pairs a high-revving naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six, a reworked six-speed manual and extreme weight savings to prioritize driver engagement over peak horsepower.

Overview

  • Gunther Werks confirmed the GXR‑Evo will be a 15-unit limited run built on a 993 platform with a motorsport-focused package.
  • The engine is a Rothsport co-developed 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six rated at about 455 hp and revving to nearly 9,000 rpm for fast throttle response.
  • Power goes to the rear wheels through a re-engineered Getrag G50 six-speed manual to emphasize analogue shifting and driver control.
  • An all-carbon body and race-spec hardware cut dry weight to 2,386 lb and include a double-wishbone front end, JRZ three-way dampers, Brembo Pista brakes with motorsport ABS, centre-lock wheels, air jacks and a fire-suppression system.
  • Each buyer will receive a numbered MYSIM simulator calibrated to the car, while pricing and delivery timing remain unannounced and prospective owners should expect bespoke commissioning and later scheduling details.
