Porsche Restomod Brand 'Gunther Werks' Launches in Japan

Gunther Werks is proud to announce its official launch in Japan through the appointment of Auto Direct as the exclusive retailer for the Japanese market. Founded in 2017 in Huntington Beach, California, Gunther Werks has become globally recognized for its uncompromising remastering of the Porsche 993 platform, the final generation of the air-cooled Porsche 911. Combining advanced engineering, extensive carbon fiber manufacturing, and bespoke craftsmanship, each commission is meticulously tailored to its owner while preserving the unmistakable soul and analog character of the original car. Within the world of modern Porsche remastering, few marques command the same level of respect and attention as Gunther Werks. Every vehicle is entirely reengineered and remastered at the company’s California headquarters, where traditional craftsmanship meets contemporary performance and design. Marking the brand’s arrival in Japan, a limited-edition Gunther Werks Coupe has arrived in Tokyo. The coupe program embodies the core philosophy of Gunther Werks, enhancing every aspect of the driving experience while remaining faithful to the emotional purity, engagement, and iconic proportions that define the air-cooled 911. All 25 coupes have been delivered worldwide. Each Gunther Werks commission features a completely bespoke interior and exterior specification, ensuring that no two vehicles are alike. From exposed carbon fiber finishes and handcrafted materials to individually tailored performance configurations, every detail is developed in close collaboration with the owner. Japan’s deep appreciation for craftsmanship, precision engineering, and automotive culture makes it a natural home for Gunther Werks. The partnership with Auto Direct represents an important milestone in the marque’s continued global expansion and commitment to serving collectors and enthusiasts throughout the region.
