Custom aftermarket Porsches are hardly a rarity these days. With companies like Singer, Canepa, Bisimoto, Tuthill, Rauh-Welt Begriff, and many others offering their own unique interpretations of the iconic 911, the market is full of standouts. But if you're familiar with the world of modified Porsches, there's one name that can't be overlooked:
Gunther Werks
.
Since arriving on the scene in 2017, Gunther Werks has quickly established itself as a top-tier
Porsche
tuner. Early builds like the 400R and Project Tornado gained major attention in the collector car world for their distinctive design, powerful performance, and meticulous craftsmanship.
Eight years on, Gunther Werks remains one of the most respected names in the American Porsche aftermarket scene. With new projects launching regularly and a continually growing list of customization options, buyers have no shortage of vehicles to choose from.
But unless you're ready to drop seven figures on a rare Gunther Werks build, it's hard to grasp what the ownership experience is really like. So, we decided to find out for ourselves.
West Coast Editor Chris Rosales recently visited Gunther Werks' headquarters in Huntington Beach, California. The team graciously offered a full tour of their expansive 24,000-square-foot facility—everything from the customer lounge to the assembly line itself.
Words barely do it justice. But if you have the means to commission a custom Porsche from Gunther Werks—do it.

Ford Issues Recall Notice for 1 — Yes, Just 1 — Example of the 2024 Mustang

The Ford Mustang remains an utter force in the auto industry, one that looks likely this year to once again repeat its title as the best-selling sports car in the world. Yet while there are substantial numbers of 'Stangs out there, the Blue Oval's latest recall affects as small a group of them as is physically possible. FoMoCo is recalling a single Mustang from model year 2024 over improperly installed software tied to a previous recall notice. Here's what we know based on the automaker's filings with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. According to the automaker's report, the impacted pony car was previously brought in for repair under recall 24C35 / 24V-802, related to the instrument cluster and a potential loss of side marker lamp and daytime running light functionality. Technicians were required to install a remedy via the automaker's software tools. The impacted vehicle in question did not receive the proper software, however, despite the dealer tool logging the repair as completed. As a result, the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) may not illuminate at startup or while driving. This is a violation of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 101, "Control and Displays" and 102, "Transmission shift lever sequence, starter interlock, and transmission braking effect." Any failure to display critical safety information comes with an increased risk of crash or injury. That said, Ford is not aware of any accident or injuries related to the fault. Ford will task a dealer to reinspect and repair the impacted Mustang as needed with no charge to the owner. The automaker does plan on sending a notification letter on September 15, but there's a good chance the owner already knows something is amiss. That said, if you are concerned that it may be your particular 2024 Mustang that's been affected, you can contact Ford customer service at 1-866-436-7332 and request info on recall number 25C35.
