    Gunther Werks 993 Speedster Remastered Is Proper Eye Candy

    One of the rarest Porsche’s to ever leave Zuffenhausen was the 993-generation 911 Speedster. One was for original 911 designer Butzi Porsche, and the other was a commission by Jerry Seinfeld.

    Gunther Werks have now given us their interpretation of that car with the reveal of the 993 Speedster Remastered.

    The work of art sports Peninsula Cypan paint and a wild mix of Mandarin Orange and green leather upholstery. To keep the chassis nice and rigid, the rear seats were removed and replaced with reinforcements which are covered by a carbon fibre tonneau with incorporated roll hoops. The windshield has a carbon fibre frame and cowl with aluminium reinforcements.

    Completing the exterior are some bullet-shaped aluminium side mirrors and a carbon fibre front splitter. If you wish, you can upgrade to five-spoke wheels that look like the classic Fuchs design but with carbon fibre barrels and magnesium centres. Thanks to these exotic materials and 3D-printed Inconel exhaust tips, the 993 Remastered weighs in at just 1,175 kg (2,590 lb).

    The rear deck hides a 4.0-litre flat-six engine capable of spinning to 7,800 rpm and is able to produce 435 hp (324 kW) and 454 Nm (335 lb-ft) of torque.

    The power runs through a Getrag G50 six-speed manual gearbox with revised ratios and a new differential with carbon clutches.

    The model rides on an adaptive suspension from JRZ that offers three modes to select from; Composed, Sport, and Sport Plus. The front and rear anti-roll bars come from Eisenlohr Racing, and there is also a front strut brace. Brembo brakes are fitted to ensure you can come to a halt with six-piston calipers up front and four-piston at the rear.

    Gunther Werks has committed to building just 25 examples of the 993 Speedster Remastered with production scheduled to start early in 2022.

    • We waited a fair bit for the Tiguan R to arrive but that means it has been given enough thought and executed with the sort of German precision that makes us happy to have waited.

As fast SUVs go it’s a cracker, and with a price tag starting from R1,014,900 it is actually decent value in the segment.

It’s fun, aggressive when you want it to be and remarkably civilised when you don’t. Cars like this rarely make sense, but the Tiguan R is one case where that argument starts to change one's mind.

We cannot wait to drive the matching Golf next week!

    • The very first SA-spec BMW M2 snapped at BMW HQ in Midrand.

Zandvoort Blue would not be our choice but the looks have certainly grown on us. What about all of you?

    • If you’re expecting a faster, angrier and more focused version of the original 86, you’re going to be happy with this car.

Toyota finally gave the 86 more power. It’s not take-your-breath-away power, but again, it’s not made to win drag races. If you want more power, get a Supra.

Sure it is a bit more pricey this time around but it is a no-regrets kind of car that you will enjoy just as much today as 10 years from now.

Long live the manual transmission, especially when it’s packaged within something as fun as the Toyota GR86.
