When restomodding pushes technology beyond nostalgia, the results can eclipse even modern factory performance cars. Theon Design’s latest project — a 964-generation Porsche 911 reimagined from the ground up — is a case in point. Starting with a seam‑welded 1990s shell, the British specialists replace every exterior panel with hand‑laid carbon fiber, then finish the shell in a medium‑ivory hue and top it with Fuchs‑style centre‑lock wheels and an exposed carbon ducktail spoiler.

Under the rear decklid sits a naturally aspirated 4.0‑liter flat‑six delivering 420 horsepower and paired to a six‑speed manual transmission. Thanks to the lightweight bodywork, the car tips the scales at just 2,535 pounds, giving it a better power‑to‑weight ratio than a modern 911 GT3 RS.

Inside, the bespoke theme continues with custom carbon door cards, leather‑wrapped surfaces and an Audison audio system. Every switch and dial is new, but the layout retains the analog charm of the original 964.

Customers can commission unique finishes, from exposed carbon weave to painted stripes and anodised interior trim. Theon says the build process takes around 18 months, with each car priced from £420,000 (about $530,000).

Restorations at this level inevitably invite comparisons. Porsche purists might recall Teddy Santis’s fashion‑infused take on the 964; see our coverage of the Aimé Leon Dore 964 for context. Others will note Singer’s Turbo Study, another carbon‑bodied, 4.0‑liter restomod we discussed in our coverage of Singer’s Turbo Study. Theon’s build leans less on nostalgia and more on modern track performance, yet it preserves the clean lines that made the 964 a legend.

For enthusiasts seeking a bespoke sports car with supercar performance, Theon Design offers one of the most compelling commissions on the market.
