Porsche 911 Backdate

O veículo em detalhes

The example offered here was our original demonstrator and finished in the classic colour scheme of slate grey with a black interior. Based on an early 3.2 Carrera with the lighter type 915 gearbox, it feels nimble to drive like a period car, but with increased power, torque and more efficient braking. Unlike many later restomods, the emphasis was to capture the beauty and simplicity of a classic 911, using many of the original materials and features from the period. So instead of swathes of modern leather, aluminium rimmed dials etc, you are greeted with an interior trimmed with the same original basketweave vinyl found in the original 2.2 models. Similarly, the dials and dashboard are finished with a simple nod to the same period.

Moving to the outside, the eagle eyed amongst you will have observed that the correct gold lettering, grill, window frames, sill covers, and chrome surround lenses are all from the same period. Whilst the simple, cheaper (and often seen) option would be to fit polished aluminium items for the early look effect, for our cars these all feature a correctly anodised finish, as a genuine car would have in period and still look as good as new today. Similarly, the 7×15” and 8” x15” wheels are wider than standard to cope with the increased level of performance, but they are genuine Fuchs, not copies and again correctly finished in the period anodised and black finish.
