The upcoming Gunther Werks Twister is the form of automobile for which “psycho dying machine” is taken into account a time period of endearment. The automobile pictured here’s a pre-production prototype constructed by Gunther Werks as a growth mule for the corporate’s latest high-horsepower Porsche 993-based hypercar monster. Whereas most growth mule testing occurs in secret and beneath wraps, Gunther Werks really handed the keys to good friend of the positioning Matt Farah to “have a go,” as he says. This may be the wildest street-based Porsche ever constructed.
The Twister weighs a mere 2,670 kilos, and packs a 750-horsepower four-liter twin-turbocharged aircooled flat six out again behind the rear axle. That compares fairly favorably towards Porsche’s present 911 Turbo S, which weighs a thousand kilos extra, and lugs round an engine making 110 fewer horses. After all the brand new automobile has all the creature comforts you’d anticipate from a grand tourer, like an inside and precise paint. However if you happen to solely pray on the altar of prodigious grip and naked carbon fiber, you actually need the Twister.
In the event you ever regarded on the fire-breathing Le Mans-winning 935s of the Seventies, and thought “I actually need a type of to drive day-after-day” then that is in all probability the automobile for you. It has all the energy and monster acceleration of a race automobile, however in some way really manages to be docile sufficient to drive within the metropolis. With app-adjustable JRZ distant reservoir, nostril elevate, and a forgiving clutch—plus increase that builds from 2,500 rpm—this Porsche is prepared for just about every part you throw at it. Perhaps even each day driving, if you happen to’re hardcore sufficient.
When Twister growth is completed and the automobile is offered to buy, you possibly can guess it gained’t be low-cost. The naturally-aspirated Gunther Werks 400R is about half as wild, and it’s already half one million {dollars}.
