Tuthill Porsche has once again pushed the boundaries of automotive craftsmanship with their latest creation, the GT ONE. This ultra-exclusive, road-legal machine pays tribute to the iconic Porsche 911 GT1 race cars of the 1990s, known for dominating the Le Mans 24 Hours.
The GT ONE is more than just a nostalgic nod; it's a modern interpretation that combines state-of-the-art engineering with the raw, unfiltered spirit of its racing predecessors. At the heart of this beast lies a 4.0-litre, naturally aspirated flat-six engine, delivering over 500 bhp, or an optional forced induction variant pushing 600 bhp. This power is harnessed through a lightweight, full carbon fibre body, keeping the car’s weight to a minimum and enhancing its razor-sharp handling.
A true masterpiece of bespoke engineering, each GT ONE requires around 3,500 hours to build, ensuring that every detail is meticulously crafted to the owner's specifications. The suspension system has been meticulously tuned, featuring fully adjustable components that allow drivers to dial in their preferred setup, whether for road or track use. The brakes, sourced from top-tier motorsport suppliers, ensure that this potent machine can be brought to a halt with as much confidence as it accelerates.
What sets the GT ONE apart is not just its performance, but its exclusivity. With only 22 units set to be produced, owning a GT ONE is a statement of both taste and passion for the golden era of motorsport. It’s a car that demands attention, not just for its looks but for the history and engineering prowess it represents.
In an era where modern supercars are often laden with electronic aids, the GT ONE is refreshingly analogue. It’s a car for purists, for those who value the connection between man and machine. Each drive promises to be an event, a visceral experience that harks back to the glory days of Le Mans, yet is perfectly at home on the road.
Tuthill Porsche’s GT ONE is more than a car; it’s a tribute to a bygone era of motorsport, a celebration of engineering excellence, and a testament to the company’s unwavering commitment to creating truly unique driving experiences. For those lucky enough to secure one of the 22 units, the GT ONE offers a piece of motorsport history reimagined for the modern world.
