Gunther Werks has never chased volume, trends, or easy applause, and the 911 Turbo “Miami Commission” makes that philosophy feel almost defiant. Based on the last air-cooled Porsche 993 Turbo, this is not a nostalgic restoration dressed up for Instagram but a deeply engineered reinterpretation aimed at collectors who understand that restraint can be louder than excess.
As the first Turbo customer car delivered to the US East Coast, the Miami Commission carries quiet symbolism. Its dark olive paint reads conservative at first glance, then flips into copper, bronze, and gold as the light shifts across the carbon-fiber bodywork.
Bronze forged magnesium wheels anchor the stance, while a saddle-brown leather cabin wraps around exposed carbon structures with the confidence of a tailored suit. The overall effect is understated opulence, a car that does not need to shout because it knows exactly what it is.
Then there is the detail that changes the conversation. The shift lever, steering wheel controls, and seat-back plaques are plated in 24-karat rose gold. This is jewelry-grade material, essentially pure, chosen not for durability but for its glow. Gold at this purity is soft, which means the six-speed manual shifter must be treated with care. In a world of dual-clutch brutality, Gunther Werks has turned the act of changing gears into something closer to winding a mechanical watch. The tactile centerpiece of an 850-horsepower machine is a precious metal object that demands respect.
Under the carbon skin sits a twin-turbocharged, air-cooled flat-six producing around 850 horsepower and 600 pound-feet of torque, sent exclusively to the rear wheels through that manual gearbox and a clutch-type limited-slip differential. Claimed curb weight is roughly 2,750 pounds, achieved through a full carbon-fiber body, magnesium wheels, carbon bucket seats, and a rear-seat delete. The result is a power-to-weight ratio that edges into modern hypercar territory, backed by bespoke suspension geometry, adaptive coilovers, motorsport-grade electronics, and massive Brembo brakes with available carbon-ceramic rotors.
Production of the Turbo program is capped at 75 cars, with a base price around $850,000 before options. With its solid gold touch points and tailored finish, the Miami Commission sits at the sharp end of that spectrum. It is not simply a fast 993. It is Gunther Werks demonstrating that the last air-cooled 911 can be engineered to modern extremes while being finished like a piece of high jewelry, a machine that blends race-bred precision with the quiet confidence of something truly rare.
