Speculation runs wild as new information connects Tuthill Porsche to the creation of this awe-inspiring hypercar
by Khris Bharath on August 13, 2024, 22:00A Porsche 911 that bears an uncanny resemblance to the rare 993 GT1 has sent shockwaves through the automotive world. Spotted at Los Angeles airport, the car’s identity remains shrouded in mystery. Is it a one-off Porsche project or a custom build by a tuning house? Speculation is rife, with names like Singer, Ruf, MP Gemballa, RML, and Unofficial Machines tossed into the mix. However, the most compelling evidence points towards Tuthill Porsche, a British firm renowned for its work on classic 911s.
Tuthill Porsche has a history of transforming classic Porsche into high-performance machines. Their recent Instagram teaser, tagging Michelin U.S.A., Flatau Design Inc., the Quail Events, Petroleum&Co, and fossilfurious, has ignited speculation about a major announcement. While the short teaser doesn’t reveal much, you can spot wing-mounted mirrors and racecar-like aero wheels. Interestingly, Tuthill was also the builder of the Singer ACS, a project that also involved Flatau Design Inc., based in Los Angeles, California. These connections, combined with the distinctive orange detailing seen on both the LAX car and the Instagram teaser, strongly suggest a Tuthill-built, GT1-inspired 911.
Adding fuel to the fire, Tuthill has hinted at another surprise beyond the highly anticipated 911K at Monterey Car Week. This cryptic message further emphasizes the company’s involvement in a groundbreaking project. All eyes are now on August 16th, the date of the reveal, as the automotive world eagerly awaits the unveiling of this enigmatic Porsche hypercar.
