In the middle of over-the-top off-roaders and tuner
cars, there is one Porsche at SEMA that has really attracted the attention of
gearheads.
Dubbed the 400R, the Porsche in question is a 993
extensively modified by Gunther Werks. With a totally reworked body, bespoke
drivetrain components and a half-million-dollar price tag, it is about as
insane as a 993 can get.
When developing the 400R, Gunther Werks set out to
create a potent 993 that would have been fitting of the GT3 badge from Porsche.
As such, the car features a custom 4.0-liter air-cooled six-cylinder engine,
body panels made exclusively from pre-preg carbon fiber and a track wider than
any modern Porsche 911.
Speaking to the men that created the car, Car
Throttle discovered the incredible lengths that Gunther Werks went to in
creating the car. Among these touches include the installation of a lightweight
lithium-ion battery and an all-new electric air conditioning and heating system
designed to minimize weight and reduce horsepower loss.
