The $26K Wheels of a Porsche Restomodder Are Surprisingly Not the Most Absurd Feature | Carscoops

      This Porsche 911 conceals tens of thousands in carbon fiber and forged enhancements, with a corresponding price.

      A set of forged magnesium wheels for the 911 Turbo S is also available through the US company.

      The carbon fiber front splitter and rear wing each start at an astonishing $18,752.

      These components are reportedly 20-30% stronger than conventional carbon fiber.

      Gunther Werks has established itself by creating some of the finest Porsche 993-based restomods, but it is now expanding its offerings with an upgrade package for the 992.1 generation 911 Turbo S. As potentially the ultimate sleeper in Porsche’s lineup, the 911 Turbo S is an ideal candidate for striking design and aerodynamic enhancements.

      This new package has been introduced through Gunther’s new GW9 brand in collaboration with Vorsteiner. It comprises an eight-piece carbon fiber kit that enhances downforce while also providing a visually appealing aesthetic. If Porsche’s GT division were to introduce an upgraded version of the 911 Turbo S, it might resemble this.

      The upgrades begin at the front, where Gunther Werks has crafted a range of new carbon fiber components, starting with a sizable front splitter featuring small aero winglets and fins. Additionally, there are new carbon fiber elements around the air intakes. Complementing the sporty front are extended carbon fiber side skirts and shrouds around the side air intakes, which reportedly enhance airflow into the intake, ensuring they are not just for looks.

      At the rear, there is a new diffuser and a fixed rear wing—two critical components claimed to increase downforce.

      Gunther Werks asserts that the carbon fiber used in their parts is 20-30% stronger than standard carbon, and all components utilize the OEM mounting points. The aerodynamic parts can be paired with a set of forged magnesium wheels in 20-inch and 21-inch sizes, priced at a staggering $25,920. In comparison, those wheels make some of the carbon aero parts seem more affordable.

      The complete front splitter with winglets starts at $18,752 for a gloss carbon finish or $20,628 for a satin carbon finish. The front air intake trim begins at $6,246, with side skirts starting at $9,373, and side air intake trims available from $6,246. The rear wing is priced similarly to the front splitter, starting at $18,762.
