Street Weapon Gunther Werks 993 Remastered

When the final Porsche 911 993 rolled off the Sauberburg line in 1998, it left a legacy of elegant engineering, timeless silhouette and an analog purity that many enthusiasts still revere. Thirty‑four years later, Gunther Werks—a boutique tuning house famed for its reverence for the brand’s heritage—has unveiled the 993 Remastered, a masterful synthesis of original charm and contemporary performance. Under the hood, the factory‑spec 3.6‑liter M64 flat‑six is replaced with a hand‑built, twin‑turbocharged unit delivering 460 hp and 520 Nm of torque, while retaining the classic 911‑characteristic low‑revs torque curve. A lightweight, forged‑aluminum crankshaft, Mahle forged pistons and a revised exhaust manifold slash the engine’s weight by 15 kg, translating to a 0‑60 mph sprint of just 3.8 seconds and a top speed of 191 mph—figures that comfortably sit alongside modern supercars.

Beyond the powerplant, Gunther Werks has meticulously overhauled every chassis component. A carbon‑fiber‑reinforced subframe, adjustable coil‑over dampers and a track‑tuned anti‑roll bar deliver razor‑sharp handling without compromising the car’s legendary rear‑engine balance. The suspension geometry has been recalibrated to suit both spirited road driving and occasional track days, while a high‑capacity, dual‑circuit brake system with six‑piston front calipers ensures confident stopping power.

Inside, the Remastered blends nostalgia with technology. Original walnut‑grain dash panels are preserved, but are now paired with a modern 12‑inch infotainment screen, digital instrument cluster and a fully integrated driver‑assist suite that includes adaptive cruise control, lane‑keep assist and a discreet rear‑view camera. Optional carbon‑fiber bucket seats, Alcantara upholstery and a retro‑styled steering wheel equipped with paddle shifters offer a tactile link to the car’s racing pedigree.

Every detail of the Gunther Werks 993 Remastered reflects a singular philosophy: to honor the purity of the last air‑cooled 911 while equipping it for today’s performance expectations. The result is a car that feels unmistakably Porsche—raw, responsive, and unmistakably iconic—yet moves with a confidence that only a modern engineering renaissance can provide. For purists who yearn for the soul of the 993 but refuse to settle for museum dust, Gunther Werks has delivered a living legend, re‑born for the open road and the track alike.
