We get behind the wheel of the Theon Design ITA001. A one-off build based on the Porsche 964, it’s been commissioned for a customer in Milan and features a 400bhp 4.0-litre air-cooled flat six, adaptive dampers and the diff and gearbox off a 993 RS. Could it be the perfect Porsche?

What's your dream Porsche 911? Let us know below...
997 GT3 RS
4.0 RS or 992 GT3 but this is gorgeous as well. Another great video by the CAR team!
991.2 GT3RS Actually I’d really love a 991.1 GT3RS with the .2 engine 😊
This!
Mk 2 996 GT3 for £50k
Brave to own that in Milan, where the majority of parking is carried out by sound and feel
Ha!
😂😂😂
😂😂
I have a 1985 911 3.2 carrera narrow body sports pack, black on blacfk with a performance cam engine with 290hp and a 7200 recline.
Owned for 20 years, easy to live with, love the sound it makes.
Original everything with nice fuche and suspension is all you need. The original art of the car is already flawless. One man’s tuning is just specific needs of personal. End of day, we all share the same bones and heart.
Just lovely, unlike increasingly over-cooked Singers et al. My dream 911 would be a narrow body 993, no wings, with 3.8RS motor.
Not an unachievable dreamcar tbh… what does that cost 150grand? Still insane but unlike overpriced singer actually achievable
My dream 911 is a 718 spyder rs. But manual, and without the vents up front. If only Porsche would build that. (Yes, I know that’s not a 911, and no, I don’t want a DeMan)
Yes! We are missing Spyder/GT3 “Tourings” with the 9k rpm NA engine but without all the aero/running gimmicks. I like the Spyder/GT4 looks more than the RS variants.
It’s probably a matter of time to launch something like that, we just had the 911 GT3 ST, RS parts with stealth looks. But sales are slowing down worldwide and prices dropping, we might not have it before it all goes hybrid/EV.
Outstanding 👌🏾
Gorgeous
stunning car, i just feel like singer have stitched up (lol) the 964 restomod thing with their original, and now the DLS and turbo and 935 tributes. guntherworks seem to have stitched up the 993 restomod too. prices for 964 and 993 have gone bonkers. maybe we need a 996 gt3 restomod and fix the 'fried egg' headlights but avoid the ims issues of other 996's?
Fantastic car!
Dreamcar right there!
Love this 911 99.999 ..the only thing that bugs the living hell out of me are those modern clear glass headlights.. even though they wouldn't light up the road as well...I would love to see the original classic headlights in there. It's like having a beautiful model with false glass eyes.
i would love to see people do this with Lambos and Raris!
My cuppa tea!
There are so many Porsche restomodders out there, it became its own car segment lmao. Like, I don't have a problem with them, but tbh I only consider Singer as the OG and the best, the others range from great to meh. The unspeakable things I would do for a DLS would list longer than the Nordschliefe
RUF is the OG. Singer is for the fanboys who don't know what they don't know.
@@Patrick-bu5vy RUF is its own manufacturer, they don't tune Porsches. RUF is a completely separate entity from Porsche.
@@ericmin832 Did you get that off Wikipedia? Those who know, know.
Good to have competition in the sector. Singer prices are insane most hardly get driven
@@Patrick-bu5vyvery different ruf isn't a 911( in actually and it's not air cooled I like ruf but very different
It would be interesting to compare a model like this with a modern equivalent costing a similar amount.
Yes, vs a GT3 Touring for example
Looks better than singers... Stunning classic but modern look
They're Singer'ing the Singer now lol
So sweet. For the vintage, long nose look, the wheels are too big with not enough tire sidewall.
Take any air cooled 911’ add decent modern dampers, brake upgrades and a few other selected chassis mods and you have all you need. The original is pretty much as good as it gets already. With 911’s, Less is more
My heart would alway's be for 930Turbo, but my Head would say a 964...Ha !
Singer is the dream 911 for me
#1… Singer DLS Turbo
#2… Singer DLS
#3… 911R
For whatever reason I’m more drawn to the Theon more than Singers
Wait till you see the fit and finish on the interiors
The Theon is no way near the same quality as a singer.
Theon is a much cheaper fit and finish
There are way too many of these ultimate Porsche restomods. I can’t keep them all straight now. Singer, RUF, this thing…I think Magnus Walker should be the only one authorized to do this sort of thing for the sake of simplicity.
RUF did it before anyone else + they made so many of there own parts they’re considered they’re own car company…but agreed way to many Porsche restomod companies 😅
Tuthill 911K
I find those Fuchs style a bit too big. Clumsy. Otherwise very tasty.
Panel gaps much?
the porsche 911 speedster
Useful review. Nice to have more on the car than just gassing whilst driving.
Theon are on the right track which is something that cannot be said for the rather tacky Californian versions (but, these guys know the tastes of their market and how to make money...). However, as mentioned below, there are details to sort out.
Carbon fibre is fine on dashboards if you have a clapped out Ford, Opel etc and need to cover cracks, careless drilling, cigarette burns etc. I suppose the fashion bloke likes the Basildon look.
The wing mirrors and wheels are good. However, really wide wheels are not needed unless you are otherwise underequipped. Just imagine this in heavy rain...
Theon, Singer, Gunther.....how many more???!!
All aboard the restomod bandwagon... Aka "Extracting money from rich people"...
Where there’s CASHOLA there will be restomod 😂
There is also Kaege
RUF
Heel and toe is never optional. It’s a prerequisite for driving manual cars😂
😂
More details about the engine would of been appreciated.
Try this...

Indicators under the front lights are wonky, quad pipes are chintzy, rimz are too big. There may be some nice engineering in this car, it's hard to say, you certainly can trust any "reviews". Ditto the driving experience. But it just looks a bit of an aftermarket lash up. Amazing people pay so much for stuff like this.
I would prefer 275/40r17 on 10's and 235/45r17 on 8.5's, because it's only 400 HP and under 1250kg(2750lbs). But tyres selection would be an issue.
"Indicators under the front lights are wonky, quad pipes are chintzy, rimz are too big." My thoughts exactly.
If I squinted, I'd say it's a Singer.
Exceptional car but at a round 600 to 700 thousands pounds it’s a bit too much ..
Great car but it’s no Singer
It's a left hand drive car,why he is driving it to the left? Unless in this country that's how it works🤔
Beautiful…until you’re in an accident, even a Singer, and then you wished you bought a modern one…
Gosh, another restromod 911. Give me a 964 and fifty grand to spend on it instead.
Spend?
Singer dls
A dream 911 is a factory 911. Full stop.
I am against cars that make a noise that annoys others. I am also not a fan of completely converting these old cars into modern technology.
At this price? No thanks.
Cute but not a Singer
ITAWOMG wtf its not a Bond car for goodness sakes its a Porsche.Theon thinks they can rename a 911 just because they put some carbon fenders on and does some engine swap.I will smoke that ca4 in my 78 Porsche 930 a real Porsche with no gimmicky names.
Looks like a model with to much plastic surgery 😢
Ridiculously overpriced.
