What an astonishing project!!!!! This is an epic build!!
I’m a sucker for all those details, like those magnificent custom Ti buts and bolts
It’s those details, coupled with top notch engineering and perfect styling that makes this such an amazing project and sets it apart from those (still great) home bread projects in the 911 restomod projects/cost thread.
You mentioned Callum Design? Do you mean Ian Callum? Please do share more details on this part of the project too!!!
I’m a big fan of him since the original i6 DB7!

Yes it is Ian Callum’s design agency, who have also worked on DLS. I spent some time with Ian a few years ago when my original Tuthill project was going to be an RSR. They have done a lot of work on interior, the seats and so on, and they provide the customer with design ideas and renders for the interior. They also do all the interior trim work and fit it. They have a proper facility near Warwick with the sewing machines and all the other stuff, as well as CAD and design studios, and a large workshop to work on the cars as well as an OEM quality scanner where they can scan a whole car and transfer it to their CAD systems. Ian is a wonderful chap to chat with as well, down to earth (he spent an hour looking at some model trains my son made).I’m a sucker for all those details, like those magnificent custom Ti buts and bolts

Fantastic, Andrew. Love it.
Is the Topaz wrap included in the price and every 911K will have it? Or is it an option you specifically asked for? Seems like a good idea to me either way.

What I like is the car is sent for PPF before all the external bits are fitted, so the film can be applied into the nooks and crannies.

Jaw dropping, absolutely sensational!!
And 835kg with fluids and 50L fuel
Is the rear suspension still torsion bars, or coil overs?
This is vastly more appealing to me than any Singer. I’m in awe.
Yes, torsion bar. It was important to retain the general feel of a period 911, but the suspension is probably one of the most remarkable features of the car, allied to the light weight. And 835kg with fluids and 50L fuel

I can’t remember the last time (if ever) I drove a sub 900kg road car. And have only driven a car with 11k red line on track. This is what makes the car so exciting for me (and I am pleased to see for others too). There are obvious pitfalls trying to achieve this, and Richard and team have been working tirelessly. I am amazed even now how much calibration is going on to make it just right.

This is one thread I’ll be glued to. Hope Andrew will keep us updated on a regular basis until I get a chance to have a ride in it.
+1 - this is a sensational high quality project. Whilst most new super- and hypercars leave me frightingly lukewarm, this one is a killer. Keep the pics coming
