Tuthill GT One Is A Limited-Edition Supercar Inspired By The Porsche 911 GT1
by AutoExpert | 19 August, 2024
Tuthill, known for its classic Porsches, unveiled the GT One at Monterey. This mid-engine supercar, blending retro design with modern performance, will be limited to just 22 units. Pricing remains undisclosed.
Florian Flatau, a designer with experience working alongside Singer, crafted the carbon fiber bodywork for the Tuthill GT One. And the outcome is nothing short of magical!
The broad and low stance is reminiscent of the Le Mans-winning 911 GT1, but it seems like every panel, including the clamshells at the front and back, is custom-made. The aero wheels, roof-mounted intake, and integrated rear spoiler on the curved tail are some of the cool characteristics. Round headlights in the 993 design and full-width taillights with contemporary LED graphics provide an enduring appearance.
Tuthill also proposed the inclusion of an additional aero kit for track use, along with an aerodynamically tuned underbody. The two-seater gives the impression of having a custom-designed cabin thanks to a digital instrument cluster, motorsport-inspired center console switches, and suede-like upholstery. For added peace of mind, the carbon fiber doors come with side impact bars and an integrated roll-over protection system based on the FIA.
As expected, every Tuthill GT One is custom-built to the owner's specifications and takes 3,500 build hours to complete. It is unclear if the specialist utilized a donor 911 chassis before making the substantial alterations for the mid-engine conversion. What we do know is that the GT One weighs 1,200 kg (2,645 pounds), features carbon ceramic brakes, custom brake calipers, and a dual wishbone front and rear suspension.
The limited edition Tuthill GT One will offer two powertrain options based on a modified 4.0-liter six-cylinder boxer engine. The naturally-aspirated mill will produce over 500 horsepower, while the turbocharged variant will produce over 600 horsepower.
