The restomod company is booming, specifically for air-cooled Porsche 911s. Oxfordshire-primarily based Theon Design presented its second UK commission, enhancing each single aspect of a fortunate 964.

The GBR002 began life as a 1992 Porsche 964 Carrera two. The vehicle was taken back to “bare metal” for the restoration which incorporated strengthening the chassis. The complete bodywork is created of carbon fiber, except the steel doors. This enables the GR002 to weigh 1,169 kg (two,577 lbs), 200 kg (441 lbs) much less than the 964 it is primarily based on. At the exact same time, the tasteful OEM-style styling tweaks improve the timeless appear, creating the 964 appear a lot more like the original 911.
