Theon Design has built another beauty. Hot off the debut of its first 964-based restomod back in March, the shop’s second sports car offers even more to gawk at. Version “GBR002” is finished in a handsome Oak Green exterior with dark ‘ghost’ stripes, and rides on 18-inch Fuchs-style wheels. This model even packs a bit more power.<\/p>\n
The 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine has been massaged to 406 horsepower, as opposed to 400 hp on Theon Design’s first model. Torque is rated at 326 pound-feet. Of course, it’s paired with a proper six-speed manual transmission.<\/p>\n
The body is made entirely of carbon fiber, which gives GBR002 a curb weight of just 2,577 pounds \u2013 440 pounds less than the original. That yields power delivery at a rate of 100 hp per liter, which is just a few ticks shy of a modern 911 GTS.<\/p>\n
There’s also a new five-stage TracTive electronic damping system that works together with a limited-slip differential to help with performance in the corners. Theon Design has also fitted this model with a full RS braking kit.<\/p>\n
The shop reworked the original knobs and dials in the cabin in a lovely billet aluminum. Muslin leather covers the seats and door panels, while unique green and gray woven accents stretch across the dash to match the colors on the exterior.<\/p>\n
There’s no price on this particular car, but Theon Design’s builds typically start at around \u00a3380,000 in the UK \u2013 or $482,000 at current conversion rates. That makes these particular 911 restomods slightly more affordable than some of the more recent Singer models, which can stretch into the millions.<\/p>\n
