About GS Manufaktur
GS Manufaktur was founded in 2015 by the father-son duo Gerhard Stefan and Philipp Göller in Gaggenau, Baden. The company restores the Porsche 911 (964) based on a chassis design created in-house from carbon. Body parts developed over more than 4,000 working hours, such as fenders, front and rear aprons, bonnet, sill covers, side walls and rear spoiler, are made from carbon fiber, reducing weight while maintaining stiffness. In addition, accessories designed in-house and milled from solid are produced from massive aluminum with the company's own surface finish "GS Frosted Silver". The engines are built as performance-enhanced variants with 3.6 l, 3.8 l and 4.0 l displacement, and brakes, suspension and exhaust system are restored and overhauled. The interior is designed individually with the customer, with saddlers working with Italian natural leather and realizing combinations with aluminum. Body variants are coupé, Targa and roadster; the vehicle design was awarded the German Design Award in 2020.
