Rare Porsche 911 Remastered by Gunther Werks Surfaces for Auction

As a lifelong Porsche enthusiast who has spent countless hours (and dollars) restoring and modifying my own 911s, I must say that this Rennsport Aventura Commission by Gunther Werks is simply breathtaking. The blend of modern technology with classic heritage is nothing short of genius, and the attention to detail is evident in every inch of this masterpiece.

At an upcoming auction, RM Sotheby’s will be offering a unique 1995 Porsche 911 that has been meticulously restored by Gunther Werks. This exceptional piece combines contemporary craftsmanship with the timeless appeal of classic Porsche design. Nicknamed the Rennsport Aventura Commission, it’s the last in a series of just 25 Carrera-inspired custom builds from their California workshop.

In 2022, the Rennsport Aventura made its first appearance at The Quail: A Motorsports Gathering, leaving sports car enthusiasts spellbound with its custom paint job and extensive use of carbon fiber. Inside, a finely-tuned, air-cooled 4L flat-six engine by Rothsport Road and Race hums, delivering an impressive 435 horsepower and 312 pound-feet of torque. This power is channeled through a six-speed Getrag G50 manual transmission, which has been improved with a lighter flywheel and clutch borrowed from the 997.2 GT3 RS.

The handling is remarkably excellent due to a JRZ suspension system that can be tailored with adjustable coil-overs, alongside Brembo carbon-ceramic brakes for track-worthy performance but retaining road comfort. The interior of the Rennsport Aventura showcases an impressive 80% custom design, combining two-tone perforated leather, anodized aluminum, and carbon fiber accents, all indicative of Gunther Werks’ meticulous craftsmanship.

Initially costing around $778,888 USD, featuring over $200,000 worth of performance enhancements, this specific item is preserved in immaculate, brand-new state with only a few miles driven from the showroom. Its scarcity and fine workmanship are projected to value it at over $1,100,000 USD. At present, registration for bidding is active, and the actual auction will occur on January 24 as part of RM Sotheby’s Arizona event.
