A rare 1995 Porsche 911 Remastered by Gunther Werks, 1 of only 25 produced, is expected to fetch $1.1 million at auction.
Porsche enthusiasts, prepare to mark your calendars. A rare and meticulously reimagined 1995 Porsche 911, remastered by the renowned Gunther Werks, will soon grace the auction block at RM Sotheby’s Arizona event on January 24, 2025. As the final model in a limited run of just 25 cars, this "Rennsport Aventura" is expected to fetch between $900,000 and $1.1 million.
Gunther Werks, known for its bespoke reinventions of the classic Porsche Carrera, has taken this air-cooled 911 to unprecedented heights. The project begins with a 1995 911, a model that predates Porsche’s shift to water-cooled engines in 1997. Widely regarded as the zenith of Porsche’s design era, these air-cooled Carreras hold a special place in the hearts of collectors and enthusiasts alike.
The Gunther Werks transformation is nothing short of extraordinary. The car’s body has been reimagined with lightweight carbon-fiber panels, while the chassis incorporates additional carbon fiber for enhanced rigidity and reduced weight. The suspension system is a masterpiece of engineering, featuring JRZ adjustable coil-overs with remote reservoirs, custom rear control arms, uprated anti-roll bars, and a front strut brace. These upgrades ensure that the car handles as impeccably as it accelerates.
Under the hood lies the centerpiece of the transformation—a four-liter flat-six engine rebuilt by Oregon-based Rothsport Road and Race. Enhanced with forged internals, race-spec equipment, and a two-stage MoTec engine management system, the powertrain delivers an impressive 435 horsepower and 312 lb-ft of torque. A custom intake design inspired by the Porsche 996 GT3 intake plenum further enhances performance, offering drivers a thrilling, track-ready experience.
Each Gunther Werks remaster is uniquely named and carries a special inscription on the door sill, signifying its rarity and individuality. The "Rennsport Aventura" on offer is the last car in this exclusive series, originally commissioned for $778,888 before fees.
For Porsche aficionados and collectors, this auction presents a rare chance to own a piece of automotive artistry that combines the timeless appeal of the air-cooled 911 with cutting-edge engineering. Expect fierce bidding as the world’s top collectors vie for this one-of-a-kind masterpiece.
