Behold: the ‘Porsche 993 Remastered’ by Californian aftermarket tuning outfit Gunther Werks, which specialises in this particular late 90s classic.

One of only 25 donor Porsche 993s to get the full treatment, this vehicle has a bespoke tan leather and Alcantara interior, a full carbon fibre body panel swap out, upgraded shocks, disc brakes, a tuned 435bhp 4.0l flat six engine and an ‘Irish Green’ paint job (for the day that’s in it).

Defiant tricolour, Éireann go bhrum, it was for this, and so forth.
