The Porsche 911 Slantnose is back – and in rude health! It’s called the F-26, it’s the creation of Gunther Werks, and it’s a remastered Porsche 911 based on the 993-generation German sports car. The new slanted front-end pays tribute to both the 935 racers of the 1970s, and road-going 930 Turbo Flachbau (translated as Slantnose, or Flatnose) from the 1980s. But if the retro carbonfibre body doesn’t do it for you, then the 1067bhp twin-turbo 4.0-lite flat-six powertrain and overhauled chassis might. In this world exclusive first drive of the Gunther Werks F-26, we review it on road, drag race it on track, and visit the factory where it comes to life.
