Gunther Werks Project Tornado: a wind-up orange with a carbon skin based on a Porsche 911.

Gunther Werks of the Californian coastal town of Huntington Beach makes restomods based on the Porsche 911 generation 993.

The Project Tornado, recently presented, is the most powerful and spectacular of its sports cars: the air-cooled six-cylinder «opposition engine» produces more than 700 hp.

At the beginning of the last decade, California-based Singer Vehicle Design set the trend for high-tech restomods based on the classic Porsche 911.

Demand for such cars exceeded expectations, so Singer quickly gained imitators and competitors, in particular Gunther Werks, founded in 2017 as a subsidiary of the Vorsteiner tuning studio.

The name Gunther Werks refers to a very famous NASA engineer in the United States, Gunther Wendt, who was involved in key milestones in the development of the American aerospace industry.

Gunther Werks is not so reverent to the historical context of donor Porsche, as Singer, allows itself bold experiments with design and it should be said, it turns out quite well. The Project Tornado is a living example.
