On this episode of TheSmokingTire, we delve into the world of Gunther Works and their latest creation, the Turbo. Gunther takes a unique approach to reviving vintage cars, infusing them with modern technology and racing innovation. The Turbo, based on the 993 GT2, boasts a gear-driven flat fan engine, air to water charge coolers, and three drive modes delivering up to 810 horsepower. This monster of a car weighs 2790 lbs and features a JRS proactive damper system for a thrilling driving experience.

Sponsored by Drift, the Turbo's design is a sight to behold, with a focus on feel and sensation rather than practicality. The short wheelbase and wide stance offer insane turn-in, making it a challenge to handle mid-corner adjustments. Despite its lack of storage space, the Turbo's performance on the road is unmatched, providing a visceral experience akin to driving a race car. The craftsmanship and engineering behind the Turbo come at a cost, with only 25 units planned for production.

From the intense power delivery to the precision of the shifter, the Gunther Works Turbo demands attention and skill from its driver. With its unique design elements and exceptional performance, this car is not for the faint of heart. The experience of driving the Turbo is exhilarating, offering a blend of power, responsiveness, and sheer excitement that few cars can match.
