The Gunther Werks 993 Speedster Remastered was officially introduced at Monterey Car Week over the weekend. In creating the car, Gunther Werks spent a considerable amount of time and effort stiffening the chassis to avoid any side effects from removing the roof. As such, a lot of reinforcement has been made in the space where the coupe’s rear seat compartment was previously located. The car also features a carbon fiber top, tonneau cover, and an integrated roll cage and roll bar system.
Sitting at the heart of the 993 Speedster Remastered is a 4.0-liter flat-six from Rothsport Racing that has been tuned to produce slightly more than the 435 hp and 454 Nm of the company’s already-impressive 400R model. Power is sent through the rear wheels courtesy of an upgraded version of the 993’s original Getrag manual transmission. When combined with a light overall weight of just 1,175 kg, the car promises to be hugely thrilling to drive.
The example presented during the Monterey Car Week was finished in a shade dubbed Peninsula Cypan with yellow accents and center-locking wheels. Key exterior changes made include the fitment of all new body panels, including a carbon fiber hood, and flared wheel arches. There is also an integrated carbon fiber front splitter to improve aerodynamics, billet aluminum wing mirrors, and streamlined aluminum door handles. As with any proper Speedster, the windshield sits low.
Found within is Mandarian Orange leather upholstery on the seats, transmission tunnel, door panels, and lower half of the dashboard. Further highlights of the interior include green leather accents, Alcantara, and carbon fiber. Gunther Werks will build just 25 examples of the 993 Speedster Remastered. Pricing details haven’t been announced.
