cool? At a cool half million, a moot point for me. I can attest to Jeff Gamroth's skill...his suspension mods to my old 911S made it handle at a level far above it's stock looks. If he designed the engine, it's likely to be a good one.

Do I like how the car looks? No...but that's just me.

I got a look inside at Guthner Werks late last year at the Unstock show. They do some amazing work there.

If you like the look of the Gunther car, OK. I don't care for it. It looks "Heavy". The first one I saw in person left me with that thought. I am sure it is well engineered/modified but a stock 993 looks better to my eye.

Cheers

Cool car and all that BUT a clean original car seems way more attractive in the long run.

Nice car, horrible company name.
Not as bad as Gumpert, but a very close second.
Again, I dig the car, arches are a tad much.

Exactly my thoughts, although I have never seen one in person.

restomod , uncool on my wall.
they all look to clean and cannot beat the original unrestored survivor

Seriously uncool : Replicrap
Uncool : Restomod
Cool : Restored
Icecold : Unrestored original

they will take 25 993's and those will degrade from original to something less cool

Too clownish for me, but it is a cool car.
