TECHART opens a new chapter in its company history. With the GTclassic, TECHART presents a bespoke vehicle of its own: 380 hp from a 3.8-liter air-cooled engine, comprehensively enhanced vehicle technology and a design developed down to the finest detail – without losing sight of the identity of the 911. Only 11 examples will be built.
Built on heritage. Defined by substance. Beyond time
Leonberg, September 2026. For almost four decades, TECHART has stood for the combination of technology, design and German engineering. With the GTclassic, the company brings this DNA to a classic 911 for the first time, expanding its portfolio with a distinctive vehicle concept in this segment. The result is what TECHART calls an authentic driver’s car: emotional, analog and immediate like a classic, yet precise and composed like a modern sports car.
“Our aim was not to reinvent the classic. Our aim was to take it further. Performance and modern drivability come together with precision, cohesive design and the commitment to quality that has defined TECHART since 1987,” says Benedict von Canal, CEO of TECHART.
Every detail, deliberately defined.
The GTclassic is created through a curated process of restoration and refinement. Its technical foundation is a Porsche 911 from the 964 model series. In terms of design, the GTclassic deliberately draws inspiration from the original, clean design language of the early 911 F-model – without seeking to create a historical replica.
The familiar proportions and character of the classic 911 are technically and stylistically evolved across the chassis, suspension, powertrain and interior. Key decisions are made during the restoration of the bodywork itself, transforming its proportions and presence into the distinctive design language of the GTclassic.
At the front, reinterpreted one-piece indicator units with integrated air ducts create a distinctive appearance. Newly developed LED headlights with a signature daytime running light enhance visibility for the driver while preserving the period-appropriate character of the front. Retrosport exterior mirrors on both sides add a distinctive accent. Handcrafted trim elements finished in Champagne extend from the front across the headlights, window frames and side skirts to the rear, creating a coherent and refined appearance.
At the rear, the TECHART ducktail with two integrated air vents defines the silhouette of the GTclassic. One-piece LED taillights combine three-dimensional depth with improved visibility at night. A distinctive highlight is the 24-carat gold-plated TECHART lettering at the rear.
A bespoke 18-inch forged wheel completes the GTclassic’s appearance. The Retrosport wheel reinterprets the classic Fuchs design, combining its characteristic design language with additional openings for improved brake cooling and a clearer view of the Turbo braking system. The wheels measure 8.5 x 18 inches at the front and 10 x 18 inches at the rear.
Engineered for the driving experience
In its most powerful configuration, the air-cooled 3.8-liter flat-six engine produces 380 hp and, together with the specially developed exhaust system, plays a central role in the GTclassic’s immediate driving experience. The suspension, braking system and engine mounts are precisely matched to this setup, working together to create the distinctive driving dynamics of the GTclassic.
A high-performance suspension system with external reservoirs ensures consistent damping performance even under demanding conditions. The driving dynamics of the GTclassic are therefore defined not by a single performance figure, but by the precise interaction of powertrain, suspension and vehicle technology to create a cohesive overall package.
At its core is an intense driving experience, with direct feedback, precise handling and a tangible connection between driver, car and road.
A cockpit that remains true to its origins
Since 1987, TECHART has been crafting its own leather interiors and bespoke interior solutions in Höfingen. In the GTclassic, this expertise forms the foundation for an interior that combines meticulous craftsmanship with a design consistently focused on the driver. Champagne-finished trim elements echo the exterior accents and carry them into the cabin.
The classic five-dial instrument cluster is retained. In typical Porsche fashion, the tachometer takes center stage, with a scale reaching up to 7,500 rpm. A Chrono Package with analog Hanhart stopwatches draws on the tradition of classic rally and motorsport cars. Modern functions are deliberately integrated discreetly: the Porsche Classic Radio combines navigation, smartphone integration, and Bluetooth hands-free functionality in a single system. A Hi-Fi system and ambient lighting blend seamlessly into the GTclassic’s interior concept. Optional Clubsport seats further emphasize the interior’s sporting character.
The GTclassic and beyond.
Throughout the personal creation process of the GTclassic, further technical and design possibilities can be tailored to the individual preferences of each customer. As a result, every GTclassic becomes an individual, cohesive concept in which technology, design and materials are consistently harmonized.
With the GTclassic, TECHART brings almost four decades of experience in development, performance, design and interior craftsmanship to a classic 911 for the first time. The vehicle therefore not only reflects an engagement with the company’s own heritage, but also marks a new chapter in the continued evolution of the TECHART brand.
