TechArt has built its first fully bespoke restomod, the GTclassic, using a Porsche 911 from the 964 generation. Limited to 11 cars and assembled to order, the new project pairs classic long-hood styling with a naturally aspirated 3.8-liter air-cooled flat-six, a five-speed manual transmission and features intended to make the car usable beyond concours events.

The German Porsche specialist has spent nearly four decades tuning modern models. The GTclassic marks a sharp change in direction, placing TechArt among the growing number of builders transforming 964-generation 911s into high-value restomods.

Classic 911 styling with a modern twist

The GTclassic's design takes cues from the earlier F-series 911 rather than reproducing the 964 body unchanged. TechArt extends the front hood, adds mesh-covered vents and fits broader fenders while preserving the familiar 911 silhouette.

LED headlights and taillights bring newer lighting technology to the classic shape. Champagne-colored trim runs from the headlights toward the rear ducktail spoiler, while bespoke forged 18-inch Retrosport wheels reinterpret the traditional Fuchs five-spoke design with a two-piece, dual-finish construction.

TechArt CEO Benedict von Canal described the approach as an evolution of the original car rather than a complete reinvention: “Our aim was not to reinvent the classic. Our aim was to take it further.”

Air-cooled power and a five-speed manual

Power comes from a TechArt-tuned, naturally aspirated 3.8-liter air-cooled flat-six rated at 374 horsepower, also described as producing about 375 hp. The engine drives the rear wheels through an exclusively available five-speed manual transmission.

The chassis receives upgraded suspension dampers with external reservoirs. Unlike some lightweight, track-focused restomods, the GTclassic retains the donor car's factory ABS and power steering. That hardware supports TechArt's emphasis on regular road use rather than maximum power or lap-time performance.

Interior blends retro details and connectivity

Inside, plaid fabric seats are paired with red leather accents and champagne-colored trim around the gauge cluster. The cabin draws from 1970s and 1980s 911 interiors without becoming a stripped-down replica.

Analog Hanhart timepieces sit on the dashboard, while a modern head unit adds smartphone integration, Apple CarPlay, navigation and Bluetooth. Those features give the GTclassic equipment suited to commuting and longer drives, not just weekend display duty.

Production and expected pricing

TechArt will build only 11 GTclassic examples, each assembled to order. The company has not officially announced pricing. Reports surrounding the launch suggest a completed car could approach $1 million, placing it near rival high-end 964 restomods such as the Gunther Werks GXR Evo.

That positioning reflects the broader market for top-tier 964 conversions, where finished builds can command seven-figure prices. TechArt's entry point is differentiated less by headline power than by its combination of classic styling, retained safety equipment, modern infotainment and a cabin designed for regular use.
