the

Open

Air

Our existing Coupe restorations provide an exceptional

analogue driving experience on any road or track, so to

heighten the experience even further, Gunther Werks

developed a new open-air model.

Taking styling cues from the legendary Speedsters of the

past, we developed our own Speedster. With its shortened

windscreen and lack of side windows the open-air

experience has been cranked up to maximum. With no roof,

the soundtrack of the glorious 4.0L flat six can now be heard

in full, this adds another dimension to the whole driving

experience. Couple all of this to the rush of wind through

your hair, and you feel even more connected to the road in a

way no other car can. This is analogue in its purest form.

Having no roof does not compromise stiffness, using modern

techniques we have made the Speedster twice as stiff as a

standard coupe with no weight penalty, to allow us to build a

stronger, lighter, and hence faster car. This then allows us to

push the boundaries of performance meaning this car is as

good at mixing it with some of the best cars on the track as

it is for going to your local cars and coffee meet.

The new speedster restoration by Gunther Werks includes

several performance upgrades which include remapped

engine tuning to give a modest horsepower and torque

increase.

Body

To initiate the restoration process, Gunther Werks uses a convertible as a foundation and restores the chassis to accommodate the heightened performance. Unlike the typical reduction of torsional rigidity that comes with removing the roof, Gunther Werks has taken significant measures to prevent such side effects. The chassis restoration process begins by revamping the factory components that our coupes also undergo, but with additional enhancements. Upgrades are added to the space previously occupied by the rear seat compartment of the coupe, and a new roll cage and roll hoop are integrated to provide support for the new tonneau cover. These measures not only enhance occupant safety but also contribute to further strengthening the chassis.

Engine

Our 4.0-liter has been meticulously developed by Rothsport from Oregon to our specifications, to create the ultimate naturally aspirated flat-six. The original crank case is starting point for all of our engines, from there the Mahle pistons to the twin map Motec Engine management, coil over plug ignition, individual throttle bodies, billet crankshaft, rods & barrels, no moving part of the engine is left untouched.

The net result is: a 7800 rpm redline, 330lbs feet of torque, and 430+ horsepower.
