This Porsche 911 Restomod brings the ideal balance of comfort and control to the road.
The Turbo—commonly known by its “930” type number—was the undisputed king of Germany’s autobahns, its 3.0-liter flat-six mustering 260 hp for a top speed of 155 mph. It also represented the 911’s first foray into true supercar territory, taking on thoroughbreds such as theYet the 930’s engine was also its Achilles’ heel. Its violent, zero-to-hero power delivery could catch drivers unawares, knocking the car off-balance, then frequently backwards into a hedge.
The engine bay of any 911 is knuckle-scrapingly tight, especially once you add the apparatus of forced induction. However, by relocating the air-con unit to the front trunk, Theon Design could use the same mounting points to bolt on a centrifugal supercharger. Driven directly off the crankshaft—rather than waiting for a build-up of exhaust gasses like a turbo—it promises a brawny 367 ft lbs of torque and instant right-foot response.
The interior is equally classy, with caramel leather swathing the reshaped Porsche “tombstone” seats. And the retro green-on-black dials and plastic switches have been replaced by milled, cool-to-the-touch aluminum. Traditional sliders control the fast-acting electric heater , while a magnetic smartphone mount on the dashboard allows you to operate the Bluetooth audio system. Turn around and the 911’s snug rear seats have been remodeled in the deeper, cocoon-like style of a Porsche 928.
