Porsche 964 RSGTIU Concept: Blending Classic Charm with Modern Performance

In this Hagerty video, we delve into the world of a modified Porsche 964 that's far from your average 964. This beast packs a GT3 engine under its hood, turning it into the captivating RSGTIU concept. Philip Hoffman, a surgeon with a penchant for car tinkering, spearheaded this project, aiming to blend the best of both comfort and performance in one sleek package. The heart of this transformation lies in a modified Momo prototo wheel adorned with switches labeled RS, G, and T, allowing for dynamic adjustments to exhaust, gear shifts, and traction control.

Starting life as a Carrera 4, this Porsche underwent significant enhancements, including a G50 gearbox, precise power steering, Brembo brakes, and KW suspension. The 3.6 engine sourced from a 997 GT3 injects a modern touch into this classic air-cooled setup. The strategically placed switches on the wheel enable drivers to fine-tune various aspects of the driving experience, from exhaust notes to throttle response, adding a layer of customization rarely seen in resto-mod projects.

The fusion of old-school charm with modern performance enhancements in the RSGTIU concept creates a driving experience like no other. Hoffman's vision extends beyond this project, with plans to offer electronic systems and a bespoke air-cooled GT3 engine to fellow Porsche enthusiasts. This unique blend of heritage and innovation opens up exciting possibilities for the future of resto-modding, bridging the gap between classic design and cutting-edge technology in a way that's bound to turn heads and ignite passions among car aficionados.
