This year's Monterey Car Week gave us more incredible car reveals than ever before, and the majority of these exciting reveals, were porsches. We saw the Kalmar 9X9, which is basically a 993 based 959 restomod, we saw the porsche Sonderwunsch produced 993 speedster that used components from the last GT3 based speedster, we saw the RUF rodeo, which is the offroad version their amazing CTR, we saw the Porsche 911 Turbo 50 Years edition, which in all reality, is just a well optioned 911 Turbo S with an enormous price increase, we saw the Gunther werks GWR, which is a lighter and more aerodynamic version of their 993 restomod, but out of all the reveals at monterey car week, the most talked about and most exciting, was the Tuthill Porsche GT One. Which makes sense because this thing is the ultimate wet dream for the ultimate Porsche enthusiast - it's naturally aspirated, it has a manual transmission, and an air-cooled flat six engine. And yes you can also get it turbocharged, and with an automatic transmission, but you can get practically any car with a turbocharged engine and an automatic transmission, so that is not the news! Now everyone is going crazy over the exterior of this car, but no one's talking about that incredible bugatti level *interior,* which might be the nicest that a porsche has ever received.  But we're going to talk about the interior, the exterior, the engine, the chassis, the suspension, the performance, the price, and even a few of the details that Tutthill Porsche has been keeping a secret. But before we get into that, If you’re new to my channel I publish original, Porsche focused content every Sunday, so If you’re not subscribed yet click below to subscribe and be sure to click the notifications bell so you can be notified about my latest videos. As strange as it might sound, the Porsche GT1 is actually the successor to the Porsche 962, and I know that can be hard to wrap you head around since the 962 is a purebred prototype that has it's roots all the way back in the 904, and the GT1 is based on a roadcar, but after the Mclaren F1 GTR took 4 of the top 5 spots at le mans in 1995, porsche knew they didn't have a racecar that could compete, and this led to the creation of the GT1. The Porsche GT1 Strassenversion, or roadcar came in 3 different flavors. With the first generation being based on a 993, and the rest being based on the 996. The version that Tuthill created is clearly inspired by the second version, as it features an exterior that is very similar from almost every angle. The exterior was designed by Florian Flatau, who has also designed cars for singer, and this becomes immediately evident when you look at the Singer All Terrain Competition study. And may I be the first to say thank you to Florian for not giving this car 996 headlights, as they were a complete eyesore on one of the most exciting road cars ever made. The body on the new GT1 is all carbon fiber, and like the strassenversion, features a clamshell  bonnet and engine lid, and that iconic roofscope. The aerodynamics are also nearly identical to the second generation strassenversion, with the 3 openings in the bonnet, the huge outlets behind the front wheels, the turbo intakes in the rear fenders, the vents in the rear quarter windows, and the incorporated rear diffuser. And lets not forget about those fantastic looking fender mounted rear view mirrors. But the appearance of the GT One deviates from the Strassenversion with the lack of a huge rear wing and the addition of wheel fans, and a generously sized front splitter. The rear tubular space frame, engine layout, intake and suspension setup is also very similar to the original strassenversion. But while the GT one looks quite similar to the strassenversion on the outside, the interior is another story entirely. The cabin has a sort of retro futuristic feel which has the elements of a racecar, but those elements are wrapped in suede, leather piping and brushed aluminum. A full roll cage is well concealed within the mouldings, The center console features a flying buttress design that suspends speakers below, and houses a gearshifter and toggle switches above. We're just gonna take a second to appreciate this and think about how fun it would be to drive this car and flip all those switches.   A wraparound gauge cluster is still present but appears to me mostly digital, but this layout is far more exciting than the digital gauges on the current 911. I would have to imagine that sitting in the drivers seat and watching the numbers on the screens increase as you launch the car is no doubt a thrilling experience. The steering wheel is not quite what I would have expected but it's got a nice simple design and continues the retro futuristic feel of the cabin.
