Porsche 911 restomod pays tribute to 911 S/T race car - looks absolutely gorgeous

Just beautiful... DP Motorsport is offering a new take on the classic Porsche 911. The restomod pays tribute to the legendary 911 S/T race car.

Based on a 1985 911 Carrera 3.2 Coupe, DP Motorsport's project is a tribute to the legendary race car that helped pave the way for the iconic Porsche RS and RSR in the early Seventies..

Going back in time... Even though this is a 1985 911, the German tuner has made it look like a model from the previous decade by taking a 'less is more' approach.

It's a good job that the Porsche 911 is a very adaptable platform to begin with as it can be anything from a hardcore track car to a sporty, yet comfortable grand tourer but what DP Motorsport has done is nothing short of epic!...

We have seen some truly beautiful 911 restomods in the past but this one sure stands out from the crowd...

So what has the tuner done? Well for starters, they have given it a set of 15in Fuchs alloys that are then wrapped in sticky Michelin 225/50 and 270/45 tyres.

It also has a GT-Silver-metallic paint job which was taken from the Carrera GT...

All in the details... Aside from a new front and rear bumper and turn signal elements, it also features chrome-plated window frames, door handles and exterior mirror housings to the mimic the early Seventies cars...

Powering this restomod is a tuned 3.6-litre flat-six from 964-generation Porsche 911 that makes 290 horsepower.

The six-cylinder boxer engine also produces a healthy 324Nm of torque.

And it has a modern KW Clubsport coilover suspension kit for track day racing, and the front axle links get polyurethane mountings and tie rod ends to optimize handling.

The exhaust system has been upgraded too to allow the motor to breathe more freely.

As for the cabin, it has retro-inspired bucket seats wrapped in fabric and synthetic leather, four-point harness belts, a period-correct roll cage, and a 13.7in Momo steering wheel.

The lower part of the dashboard and the door panels use braided plastic reinforced with fiberglass that has a similar look to woven leather.
