Gunther Werks Restomod Priced at 1.7 Million

Gunther Werks has built a reputation since 2017 as a leading Porsche tuner. Notable models such as the 400R and Project Tornado are known for bold styling, high performance parts, and meticulous fit and finish. The company operates a 24,000-square-foot facility in Huntington Beach, California, where visitors can see the process from customer lounge to the assembly line.

During a visit by West Coast Editor Chris Rosales, Gunther Werks offered a full tour and explained the breadth of customization options. The price tag for these builds can reach seven figures, placing ownership in a very selective circle. The company emphasizes bespoke craftsmanship and a curated ownership experience that aims to stand out in a crowded Porsche market.

Restomods thrive on a simple idea, to preserve a beloved silhouette while improving performance with modern parts. Gunther Werks leans into that tension with a meticulous production process and a visible commitment to quality. The result is not just a car but a statement about what owning a Porsche can mean in a niche market.

Yet the model also raises questions about accessibility and sustainability in a luxury market that prizes scarcity. If demand softens or financing tightens, seven figure builds may face sharper price sensitivity and longer wait times. The story mirrors a broader trend in which craft and exclusivity collide with market realities.

The next wave of restomods may redefine value as much as velocity.
