This Porsche 911 restomod by Workshop 5001 could easily be overlooked. That’s half the appeal. But it would also be a crying shame, because it is brilliant. A 964 RS ‘plus’ that is fabulous from its flawless Grigio Scuro (yes, a Ferrari colour) paint to its magnificent 380bhp 3.9-litre engine sitting below a neat, carbonfibre ducktail.
Based in LA, Workshop 5001 is a small but deeply impressive place run by Marlon Goldberg. His first love is engine building and he has built dozens of flat sixes in varying capacities for all sorts of Porsches. However, he has also done a few special projects. Complete cars taken right back to the start and built up better than new. Each one has been different and this remains true with this, build number 11.
It mixes original and modern with sublime subtlety to create something that still clearly identifies as a 964 but with the performance turned up quite a few notches. The engine has significantly more power than the wildest 3.8 RS and the suspension gets the latest motorsport setup from KW. Inside is a mix of Alcantara and leather with beautiful details, so although this full build, complete with air-conditioning weighs just 2663lbs it doesn’t feel totally stripped out.
As you can see and hear from the film, it is a gorgeous car that still manages to stand out amongst a plethora of Porsche restomods from the likes of Singer Vehicle Design, Guntherwerks and Tuthill. The price? That hasn’t even been disclosed, but as with most restomods it’s safe to say that this is another one to add to the lottery-win fantasy garage for that majority of us!

Marlon and team's work is second to none. Until you've been in his shop, met his team, talked with them and seen their work first hand you can't appreciate it. I saw their first full build at Luft years ago and spent 10 minutes with my head in the engine compartment in awe. I thought I'd seen everything after a day of seeing hundreds of air cooled cars of all shapes, sizes, prices and levels of hot rod to originality but their work was utterly captivating even in that context.

I remember when Matt Farah and Jonny Lieberman discussed Workshop 5001 a few years ago on the TST podcast. This is my first time actually seeing the car. It sounds like a lovely thing to drive, but... I know it's a different beast, but I can't help but think that the 11,000 RPM Tuthill 911K is the best "restomod" air-cooled Porsche.

@8Lucas1Simoes2lsdGT 8 ай бұрын

Since the video of Chris Harris, when I think about Porsche restomods the first one that comes to my mind is the Tuthill 911 K. I don't think that a Porsche can be better than that. Even the Carrera GT I think that can't.

@shingoose6197 8 ай бұрын

@@8Lucas1Simoes2lsdGT Agreed. 11 thousand rpm in a road car is insane, and something very few have achieved (without putting a bike engine in a tiny car). But there's so much more to that car than just the engine.

The 964 is peak 911 design and original mechanical engineering! The 993 is lovely with its redesigned suspension setup and “modernised” design. The 996 has a soft spot for me because of Sally in Cars. The 930 is just the definition of the 80’s! The 964 is my perfect 911, it’s just that the market is insane.

I think this type of build is pure and thoughtful of the original. I absolutely love it. I just cannot get my head around the snub nosed restomod from a particular Cali builder. Its not to my taste at all, but this, this is a real gem. I like what this builder is achieving. Not only is he making the car more fun he's preserving the heritage of the air cooled 911.

@stevespacek8893 8 ай бұрын

Soon as I see any of these restomod Porsches, Tuthill’s creation jumps to mind! And like others have said on here, all after watching Harris rag the little lightweight up n down its 11k rev range. The only other that comes close, was a young fella from Cali that works at Rod Emory’s- kids name escapes me? But what a gun on bodywork and that old art of shaping metal! What he’s done to a gorgeous little 912 might be on par with Tuthill’s.. Search up one of Magnus Walkers recent outlaw episodes and look for a little silver 912 restomod- this one has the proper boxer four, only it revs to 10k! So has that same almost banshee like wail as Tuthill’s. The space between the doors and the rear wheels have been extended just enough to give it 911 proportions and an utterly bang on stance. This kid has also subtly combined elements of a 365- more so to the rear grill and lights- so so tastefully done too. Ultimately, it’s the super lightweight(circa 850kg) and stratospheric rev characteristics in a 911/12 body that is some how irresistible to me. That and the subtle aesthetic- especially in comparison to say a Singer. I think with regards to this Studio 5001 variant, I’d change the seats too. I’ve never been a fan of those Porsche wheels that stick out further than the tires. Last off, I’d want the weight down to no higher than 1000kg. All hypothetical lottery winning stuff of course;))

@993isgawd 8 ай бұрын

A stealthy, superbly tuned 964...this is the kind of restomod that I do like and can meld with. While I can appreciate the fastidious attention Singer pays to detail and overall build quality, I've never thought much of the whole backdating identity process that, at least from the UK Porsche rags that I've been a subscriber to/reader of over the past decade or so (started when I first bought my 993), there seems like this ACHING ITCH when it comes to the Type 964 911 and robbing it of its original identity. It seemed like every other issue there was some backdated 964 devolved into some sort of pretend ultimate D-series 911. Then Rob D and Singer just weaponized this craving urge and turned it into their business model, albeit with lots of very modern-day tech and accoutrements to go with that "looking old" mantra. Workshop 5001 on the other hand doesn't deny the Type 964 its identity and place in Porsche's lore and heritage like Singer does. And that is what I REALLY like and truly appreciate. Great work, Marlon. [EDIT] And I forgot: thank you Henry, for your impassioned report. You are a big part of why I seek and look forward to new Hagerty postings on YT.
