GUNTHERWERKS 400R

The Gunther Werks, turn a Porsche engine's air-cooled formula on its ear. First and foremost is suspension geometry, specifically front wheels that have been pushed outward so they’re square with the rears. The edge-to-edge lineup helps turn-in and stability, with monster 295-millimetre front and 335-mm rear rubber mounted to lightweight, forged aluminium, titanium-bolted 18-inch hoops. The setup dramatically alters how aggressively the 400R addresses the road, along with a wheelbase that’s been stretched about two inches. Suspension options include hardware from KW or JRZ, the latter offering an additional active damping option that performs calculations up to 1,000 times per second. Also key to the formula is extreme weight savings: Gunther Werks claims a curb weight of 1,214 kg, which is nearly 159 kg shy of the donor 993. The power plant has undergone an extreme makeover in the hands of Rothsport Racing’s Jeff Gamroth, one of the pivotal, old guard, air-cooled engine gurus. Thanks to a comprehensive reworking, the mill, now displacing 4.0 litres, produces in excess of 400 bhp and 330 lb-ft of torque. Stopping all that madness are six-piston Brembo CCM-R units, whose hardware alone will set you back around $40,000!
