Theon Design has created the Theon R from the iconic Porsche 964 Carrera – a vehicle that combines classic charm with the most advanced materials such as carbon to achieve an ultra-light sporty experience. Enter a world of performance that exceeds expectations with Theon R!

Theon Design, a renowned vehicle body builder, has created a modern masterpiece based on the iconic Porsche 964 Carrera. The Theon R is designed using carbon parts wherever possible, from the body panels to the interior. F1-grade carbon fiber ensures that the Theon R weighs less than 1,000 kilograms (about 2,205 pounds), an incredible achievement comparable to Porsche's lightweight racing cars.

During the restoration, the original car is completely disassembled, reinforced with additional welding and equipped with carbon "tubs," which give the vehicle additional torsional strength without added weight. Aerodynamically designed parts such as the carbon front spoiler, rear diffuser and whale tail wing contribute to improved performance.

Carbon wheels and ceramic brakes: details that impress

Theon Design also used a combination of carbon and magnesium wheels on Theon R, which further contributes to the lightness of the vehicle. This design is inspired by the legendary Porsche 911 S/T, with a metal wheel center and a carbon rim. The brakes, made from a mixture of carbon and ceramic, reduce weight and provide exceptional braking performance. The car is finished in vibrant “Signal Orange,” with signature black Porsche badging on the door sills and hood.

The heart of the theon R: powerful 4.0-liter engine and inspired performance

The engine is the heart of the Theon R – a 4.0-litre air-cooled 24-valve, four-valve-per-cylinder engine that produces an astonishing 500 horsepower (bhp) and revs to over 9,000 rpm. The "drive-by-wire" system enables almost instantaneous throttle response, which brings Theon R even closer to the racing car experience. The car accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just three seconds, and to a speed of 160 km/h (100 mph) in about 6.5 seconds, which is comparable to today's supercars such as McLaren and Ferrari.

Conclusion: theon R - where classic charm meets modern lightness
