Gunther Werks Unveils the F-26: A 1000 HP, Fighter Jet-Inspired 911 Restomod

Gunther Werks just dropped their latest project, and it’s an absolute monster. Meet the F-26: a 1000-horsepower, fighter jet-inspired restomod that takes the classic air-cooled 911 and launches it into the stratosphere.

If you're a Porsche purist, look away. This isn't a gentle restoration; it's a full-blown reimagining. The team at Gunther Werks took the beloved 993-generation 911 and fused it with the raw aggression of Porsche's legendary Slantnose and the sleek, deadly lines of a jet fighter. The result is something truly special—and brutally fast.

So, what’s under the hood? The heart of this beast is a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter flat-six that churns out a mind-bending 1,000 horsepower. All that power—and a neck-snapping 750 lb-ft of torque—gets to the rear wheels the old-school way: through a six-speed manual transmission. This is a car that demands skill and rewards it with pure, unadulterated performance.

To make sure you can actually handle all that power, they've completely rebuilt the car from the ground up. The chassis is now a staggering 200% stiffer. It's got a new double-wishbone front suspension, adaptive dampers, and serious carbon-ceramic brakes to bring it all to a stop. It's sitting on lightweight magnesium wheels, and it tips the scales at just 2,700 lbs, making it an absolute rocket.

And the look? It’s everything. The body is sculpted from carbon fiber, from the unique fixed headlights to the massive rear wing designed for serious downforce. Inside, it’s a perfect mix of luxury and purpose, with Alcantara, leather, and exposed carbon everywhere you look. Even the steering wheel is shaped like a jet fighter’s wing.

With a starting price of $1.57 million and a production run of only 26 units, the F-26 isn't just a car; it's a piece of rolling, roaring art for a very select few. It’s the ultimate bridge between classic 911 soul and tomorrow’s performance.
