Reviving a legend: Tuthill's GT One blends luxury with power
Many of you probably remember the 911 GT1 – an extreme race car from the latter half of the '90s that still evokes desire among the brand's fans today. The British workshop Tuthill has decided to create a contemporary interpretation of this beast.
The creators are rather reserved regarding technical details. However, it is known that the GT One is more of a loose interpretation of the 911 GT1, primarily referencing the original in terms of appearance.
Despite the "911" in its name, the GT1 was closer to the prototype 962 than the road-going 963. Tuthill's creation, however, mainly uses 993 components combined with custom solutions in the form of front and rear frames.
It's worth noting that, unlike the 911 GT1, the Tuthill GT One is not just a spartan race car. A quick glance inside confirms this. The modern yet cosy cabin makes a great impression regarding design, finish, and equipment.
However, the universal character should go hand in hand with excellent performance. The 4-litre boxer engine generates 500 HP in the naturally aspirated version and 600 HP in the turbocharged version. The specifications are impressive, but the British have not yet disclosed detailed performance figures.
We will likely learn more details closer to the market launch. It is known that Tuthill plans to create 22 units. I wouldn't be surprised if they already have owners.
