Theon Design Unveils Breathtaking 964 Targa Restomod Creation
Theon Design's latest creation, GBR003, redefines the classic Porsche 911 Targa experience with absolutely stunning looks... and a whole lotta upgrades.
Introduction to GBR003
Theon Design, renowned for its meticulous restomods, unveils its inaugural Porsche 911 Targa restomod, GBR003, signaling a departure from their traditional coupe builds. The Targa-based creation is as beautiful of a Porsche 911 restomod build as we've ever seen, and it comes with modernized performance, tech, and safety enhancements in every element.
Engineering Excellence
GBR003, based on the 964-generation Carrera 2, embodies a harmonious blend of classic 1970s styling and contemporary technologies. With its carbon fiber chassis and body panels, GBR003 achieves a remarkable weight reduction to 1,228kg, promising agile handling and improved performance.
Performance Dynamics
The GBR003 houses an air-cooled, naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine, generating an impressive 403 horsepower and 320 lb-ft of torque. Equipped with a six-speed manual transmission and 993 RS brake calipers, it offers a visceral driving experience synonymous with classic Porsches.
Exquisite Exterior Design
This restomod showcases a meticulously crafted exterior, featuring a Pastel Blue coating and refined styling cues. The widened arches and distinctive roll hoop accentuate its muscular stance, while ceramic quad exhaust pipes add a touch of aggression to the rear profile.
Luxurious Interior Refinement
Inside, this beauty exudes luxury and sophistication, with front and rear bucket seats upholstered in liquorice leather and accented by grey 'Pepita' blocks. Despite the focus on weight reduction, the cabin boasts modern amenities, including a Pioneer six-speaker audio system.
Theon Design's Vision
Adam Hawley, co-founder of Theon Design, emphasizes the team's dedication to redefining the air-cooled Porsche 911 driving experience. By meticulously refining every element, GBR003 promises to deliver unparalleled sensory richness and razor-sharp handling.
