Why Gunther Werks Will NEVER Offer an Automatic Transmission - The Ultimate Manual Gearbox Commitment

Gunther Werks, the renowned Porsche restomod specialist, has solidified its commitment to manual gearboxes, prioritizing the pure driving experience above all. During a special event at ModaMiami, CarBuzz got an exclusive drive in the Gunther Werks Speedster, a hand-built Porsche 911 993 masterpiece reimagined to perfection by founder and CEO Peter Nam.

The Speedster features a 4.0-liter flat-six Rothsport Racing engine with over 430 horsepower, managed by an H-pattern manual transmission. Gunther Werks' head of marketing, Javier Roque, emphasized that the brand will never create an automatic transmission, ensuring the purity of the driving experience remains intact with no driver aids or automatic downshifts.

Every Component Engineered For Perfection

The Speedster boasts a Getrag G50 six-speed manual transmission, custom ratios, and a single-plate clutch, offering a raw and engaging driving experience. With no traction control, the driver relies solely on mechanical grip from wide rear tires, enhancing the connection between driver and car.

Building Almost Any Car A Client Wants

While Gunther Werks focuses on delivering unmatched driving thrills, the brand is open to reasonable requests. The upcoming turbocharged model will offer over 750 horsepower and include a traction control system. Privileged clients can customize their cars within the brand's standards, ensuring long-term satisfaction and an exceptional ownership experience.
