Gunther Werks has finished another amazing 993 generation custom Porsche 911. He calls this one the Irish Green Commission, and there aren’t many questions about the reasons as soon as you look at the body.
The Irish green color is deep and matches the rounded lines of the body perfectly, especially the large rear fenders. Gunther Werks adds contrast by leaving the underlying carbon fiber exposed for a pair of stripes and a roof. There are light gold stripes on the side and the five spoke wheels are color matched.

Inside there is a mix of English brown leather, charcoal colored Alcantara, and lots of exposed carbon fiber. Buyer orders Gunther Werks’ tour specification which uses thicker leather padding throughout the cabin and additional sound dampening. This puts more emphasis on sporty ride comfort than on track performance. A green tachometer refers to the exterior hue.
Power comes from a Rothsport Racing 4.0-liter flat-six engine that develops 435 horsepower (324 kilowatts) and 335 pound-feet (454 Newton-meters). Other performance tweaks include Brembo brakes and suspension parts from Eisenlohr Racing and JRZ Suspension Engineering. The suspension cans are anodized in green as an added touch.
The Irish Green Commission is part of Gunther Werks’ 993 Remastered program, limited to 25 cars. The company sold this one as part of its partnership with Pagani Beverly Hills and worked with the person who ordered the custom machine to match exactly the right specifications.
Gunther Werks debuted with his full carbon fiber bodywork for the 993 Generation 911 at Monterey Car Week in 2018. He did not elaborate on the weight of the switch to the lightweight material saved. Compared to the original exterior, the front and rear fenders were three inches wider. The company also sculpted a duck tail spoiler on the rear deck.
