'93 Gunther Werks 400R On Stage at Upcoming AutoCon L.A.

See the rare Porsche and check out other rad concept cars on April 29 in Southern California.

Get an up-close look at a limited-edition 1993 Gunther Werks 400R when the super-stylized Porsche takes the stage on April 29 at AutoCon in Los Angeles. Happening at the L.A. Convention Center, AutoCon is where exclusive vehicle builds/projects are debuted, product launches happen, and industry news is announced. An automotive experience like no other, at AutoCon you’ll not only see pretty new models (those made of steel and rubber, as well as those made of  flesh and blood), but also some of the world’s top show vehicles and notable industry brands all under one roof. From cool classics to rad concept cars, there’s a little something for everyone, plus live music, entertainment, demos, and giveaways.

A rare, red 1993 Gunther Werks 400R is one of three cars to be featured at “AutoCon Avenue,” the event’s one-of-a-kind drive-up stage. The unique showcase allows for higher profile vehicles to be driven up in front of a live audience so enthusiasts can hear, see, and experience the engine roar to life as the vehicle owner shares details about the car and the stories behind the build.

A highly customized car that is lightweight, stronger, and more rigid than the original, the limited-edition Gunther Werks 400R’s boast a 4.0-liter engine meticulously developed by Rothsport of Oregon to create the ultimate classically aspirated flat-six with a target of 7,800 rpm redline and 400-plus horsepower. Only 25 of these vehicles are being crafted. Plus, buyers select the vehicle interior’s materials, accent colors, and finishes, making the cars truly one of a kind.
