Porsche 911 Backdate

Introducing the Porsche 911 – ST001 modified by Elfwerks.

The ST001 is our take on what a Porsche® 964 restomod can be when the process is driven by vision, not trends.

Finland has a history with racing and building Porsches — from works drivers like Leo Kinnunen and Henri Toivonen to wild, hand-built four-wheel-drive rallycross Carreras by the teams of Matti Alamäki and Seppo Niittymäki, even long before the 953 and Porsche’s own four-wheel-drive system existed.

Inspired by that history and the craftsmanship behind it, we created modifications for the 964 chassis — now known as the ST001 series.

What we’ve created is a focused modification that pays respect to the original. The design of the Porsche 911 is already complete, but every era carries something unique that can work together. The intent was to let those influences exist as one car — from early RSR thinking, through the 993 era, to present-day RS and ST models. As a result, the ST001 stands on its own and will always be recognized without blending into anything else.

ST001 wears influences from different eras. All bodywork is developed in-house, using metal, carbon, or flax fibre on the final builds. Early 911 body language guides the bumpers, while later RS ideas are blend it to the 964 form, while the two piece fender flares cues the across the racing era. The lights carry cues from a more modern era, but they are still unmistakably 911. Wheels make the car and the choice here is custom 917-inspired wheels to finish the design.

Inside, the approach is “nothing more than what you need” —staying true to the spirit of racing. Seats and door cards are Elfwerks designs — LWB Bucket — influenced by RS seats across different eras. For more comfort-oriented builds The Komfortsizte is our take on the classic Turbo design. Materials are selected to suit each car’s own feel and tone, drawing from Porsche’s history.  Audio and media are handled by Porsche PCCM®, with CarPlay® and Fender® speakers.

Engines are developed with local Finnish engine builders. The ST specification uses a naturally aspirated 3.6-litre engine, with RS builds increasing displacement up to 4.0 litres.

Suspension, brakes, and wheels follow the same logic: proven components, chosen for balance rather than spectacle.
