Thornley Kelham’s European RS Porsche 911 restomod.
No more than 25 examples of Thornley Kelham’s European RS, a Porsche 911 restomod, will be made.
The car’s 3.8-liter flat-six is modified with billet aluminum cylinder heads, custom camshafts, forged Mahle pistons, and individual throttle bodies.
The interior is devoid of air conditioning, electric windows, rear seats, or an audio system, but it does have a four-point-harness system denoting the car’s performance focus.
Demanding your undivided attention, the European RS restomod makes even a modern Porsche 911 seem aloof.
The car wears track-focused Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires, so we don’t come close to unsticking it on the narrow, hedge-lined lanes.
The floor-hinged AP Racing pedals are perfectly placed.
The car pulls confidently from around 2,000 rpm, then piles on speed with furious glee, the stentorian roar of the throttle bodies wrapping you in a blanket of noise.
Hunkered down on JRZ Motorsport adjustable coilovers and 18-inch Fikse FFR split-rims, the car bristles with latent aggression.
Like the original Porsche 911s that carry the same suffix, this RS restomod prioritizes speed and excitement above all else.
