This could be the coolest 911 I have ever seen....
 

Thoughts on these 'specialty creations' ie Gunther Werks vs Singer? One car forever....

Is it cool? Yes.
Is it 1+ mil cool. Not in my opinion.

I would rather have 5 different cars than spend 1 mil on a single 993.


Also wrong forum. :-)

if you are somewhat of a "purist" then you will like the car, but probably not enough to spend over a million on what is basically a hugely expensive kit car built on an OEM base. I hate the ducktail and I hate the interior. to me this speaks of doing a show-off drive once in a while, rest of the time having it sit in your garage while you gloat "damn that is a nice car". some people have way more money than I do.
I'm not a purist so I'll take water-cooled, twin-turbo PDK every day of the week over this and drive it almost every day. that makes me say "damn this a real nice car".

Agreed. For that money, I'd buy a 991 gt3, 781 spyder rs, a good 993 for an analog, air cooled experience. And keep maybe $400-500k

That chin spoiler would last about 1 driveway entrance in Monterey

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and while I’m sure it’s built to a very, very high standard; regardless of price it really doesn’t do much for me.
Obviously I’m not in the appropriate wealth category for this anyway but when factoring in the proposed price it’s a little hard to believe there’s even a market for this kind of thing.🤷‍♂️

Very, very nice. Other than look at it in your lair what do you do with it?

Some more opinions on GW styling came up a little while ago in this thread;

If you have a 993 and you’re ok with having it off the road for 6 - 12 months you could spend about $150k and get a very similar engine and interior, but your return-on-investment would be far worse than a new GW car that has collectibility and name-recognition. Curious what the original buyer paid for this, it was surely less than $1M

I think it's ok. But the Turbo version Tornado is even better looking.

If I had all the money in the world, I doubt I'd buy a restomod. I'd get the special original models of 964 and 993 instead.

But in a way these are great achievements. 700 hp manual.

This is amazing, absolutely no doubt about it. Imho this is where they got the looks right.

One of those cars that will be parked in some collection forever.

I believe they started at $550k. Have a friend who bought one of the first batch.

meh

Beautiful cars, for me to observe other folks' examples as owning one of these is a decision only money can buy, a lot of money!

This is the real issue. It's no longer a car. It'll never be driven. It's an 'investment' and basically a loss of a normal 993 for someone to actually drive and enjoy.

My guitar gently weeps.

I guess I should have qualified. If you had a million bucks that you had to spend on a car with the caveat that you were going to drive that car everywhere and to everything without worrying about chips in the carbon fiber or creases on the leather....
