For over eight years, Gunther Werks, founded by Peter Nam, has stuck to reimagining classic air-cooled 993s. Be it the coupe, the Turbo, or the Speedster (a bodystyle that Porsche themselves skipped on the 993 generation<\/a>), GW has turned these humble German sports cars into carbon-clad, wide-body motorsport-grade performance machines with modern touches. The California-based restomod firm will now assume a new chapter with a new sub-brand, GW9, that will be laser-focused on modern Porsche<\/a> Platforms. The first model to receive these enhancements? A 992.1 Turbo S.<\/p>\n

GW9\u2019s 992.1 Turbo S Aero Program<\/a> features an eight-piece precision-crafted carbon fiber aero kit<\/strong> developed in collaboration with Vorsteiner, a company also founded by Nam, that specialises in carbon-fiber composites and wheels for luxury cars and sports cars. For maximum strength and durability, each piece in the GW9 kit is autoclave-formed, making it 20-30 percent stiffer than conventional carbon fiber.<\/strong> Every contour perfectly aligns with the 992 Turbo S\u2019 original lines, and the pieces bolt directly onto factory mounting points to help retain originality.<\/p>\n

\u201cGW9 exemplifies our innovation and craftsmanship. It offers a way for the Porsche community to access the Gunther Werks brand.\u201d Peter Nam \u2013 founder, Vorsteiner and Gunther Werks<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Up front, you can choose between two front spoilers: either with upright winglets or with side fins. Both increase front-end downforce and high-speed stability. Flanking the body, side skirts and intake trims help manage airflow, while a bolder rear wing with a purpose-built diffuser reduces lift and delivers an unmistakable motorsport aesthetic in back.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The best part about this kit is that it is modular, meaning you can order the whole package or pick specific components to add to your vehicle. Prices range between $3,995 and $13,195. Both Gloss and satin finishes<\/strong> are available. Rounding things off are the $16,580 forged magnesium multi-spoke center-lock monoblock wheels<\/strong> that weigh less than the factory setup.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The introduction of GW9 signals a pivot for Gunther Werks, from bespoke classics that often fetch millions at auction to attainable performance for the present-day Porsche owner, because beyond the 992 Turbo S, these high-quality components are also available for the 991.2 GT3 RS, the 991.2 GT2 RS, and the all-electric Taycan. In other words, if a seven-figure restomod<\/a> is out of reach, GW9 has just opened the door for a wider audience to get a taste of the Gunther Werks brand.<\/p>\n
