This 911 is built for long road trips, to be enjoyed in comfort, but with an early feel that's able to charge down a country road with the same sense of lightness associated with earlier Porsche 911s.
, it takes its inspiration from the 911 SC/RS used for Porsche's first official rallying program, the famous Rothmans car prepped by Dave Richards at a then-young Prodrive.
That Group B program is where Tuthill got its start with Porsche; current company honcho Richard Tuthill's father Francis would fix Richards' Porsches after rallies. The company still maintains some of the 20 original SC/RS models Porsche made, as well as making makes faithful reproductions of the original based on the early 1980s Turbo Look cars with wide fender flares but no whale tail, andThis SC/RS is different. It's built on a 993-series 911, an uncommon choice.
Since the 993-series cars were already excellent at that, what's been changed? The 3.6-liter flat-six has been bored out to 3.8 liters, breathes through a custom butterfly intake, and is run by a new Motec control unit, output sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual. Tuthill's maintained its typical discretion about power figures, so output is an unknown; the standard engine made 282 horsepower.
Interior designed turned to the late 1980s 3.2 Carrera ClubSport for theme, meaning racer-like simplicity wrapped in lightweight luxury, and no rear seats. Tuthill says he's making 15 of these. Going by the testimonials on the company's website, owners already are already enjoying a few of them, meaning there are even less to be had. Expect to pay a fortune, but hey, that's what everyone is doing nowadays.
