Have you ever wondered what Porsche's GT1 would look like if it were brought to the modern era? Tuthill Porsche offers you the answer with the stunning GT ONE, which combines nostalgic features with modern technology.
When a motoring legend and a visionary combine with a brilliant craze to bring back the golden age of racing, something truly unique is created. Richard Tuthill and Elliot Ross joined forces to give the world something that will forever mark motoring history - Tuthill GT ONE, a complete reinterpretation of GT1 racing cars from the 1990s.

The Tuthill GT ONE is a masterpiece on wheels that combines aesthetic elements from the past with cutting-edge technology. Its carbon body, designed with the help of CFD analysis, recalls the aerodynamic silhouettes of GT1 racing cars, but at the same time exudes modernity and progress. The vehicle weighs only 1200 kg (2645 lbs), which gives it exceptional driving characteristics. Every detail, from the unique Inconel exhaust to the personalized brakes, has been carefully considered and designed to impress both visually and functionally.

Under the hood is the heart of this beast of a car – a 4.0-liter boxer engine available in two versions: naturally aspirated with over 500 hp (373 kW) and supercharged with over 600 hp (447 kW). Transferring power to the road is handled by a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission that allows lightning-fast shifts, or a manual transmission for purists who appreciate the feeling of total control. Acceleration to 100 km/h (62 mph) is certainly fast, but the exact figures are still shrouded in mystery.
Ready for the road… and the track
Although the GT ONE is designed as a road vehicle, it also has racing DNA in it. The vehicle is equipped with racing suspension with double wishbones and the latest FIA-certified anti-roll protection. For those who would like to test the GT ONE on the racetrack as well, Tuthill offers an optional aero package that further improves the car's aerodynamic properties and makes it even more stable at high speeds.
