With its quintessentially ’80s pop-up headlights and its unforgettable flachbau front end, the 930 Turbo Slantnose is one of the rare cases of Porsche deviating from the norm in the 911’s 60-plus-year history.
At the time of its debut, the model was a niche offering, and it remains polarizing in its popularity even to this day. As such, it’s not often that it gets representation on the aftermarket.
Ever prepared to push the envelope, Gunther Werks’s latest effort honors the slantnose Porsche through its exorbitant carbon fiber construction, 1,000-horsepower air-cooled flat-six and, of course, striking front-end design.

The car is called Project F-26, and it gets its name from both its slippery fighter jet-like shape and its limited production volume (just 26 units).
Moreover, Gunther Werks has looked to the Porsche 935 race car and 930 road car for inspiration. However, there is one key difference: instead of the slantnose’s pop-up headlights, the carbon fiber front end features a set of low-profile fixed units.
