LONDON: The Talos Porsche 911 RT has a production run of just 20 units worldwide, and is inspired by the legendary 911 R race car.
Talos, the British designer and manufacturer of handcrafted performance vehicles, says every unit is individually commissioned, specified and built to each owner’s specific requirements.
Talos Vehicles managing director Jamie Thwaites says, "Our philosophy for the 911 RT was very simple; to create a road car that feels like a race car and vice versa, and we’re incredibly proud of the result."
Engineered and hand crafted in the UK, the Talos 911 RT features a bespoke suspension system exclusively designed in collaboration with performance specialists Öhlins.
Drivers can fine tune the electronically adjustable dampers via smartphone control.
Power delivery of the 540bhp engine has been engineered to feel natural and progressive.
Using advanced 3D scanning, the race car was digitally captured and redeveloped to integrate seamlessly with the road-going GT3 RS chassis.
Developed in collaboration with leading motorsport specialists, MCT Carbon, extensive exposed carbon fibre body panels dominate the car’s exterior, helping to reduce the vehicle weight by 80kg compared with the Porsche GT3RS.
Final exterior design choices, including paint specification, are completed by Talos following extensive consultation with owners to deliver their unique vision for their vehicle.
“The Talos 911 RT has been engineered and commissioned without compromise,” adds Thwaites.
“Not only does the car represent an exclusive design opportunity to owners, its premium finish and our obsessive focus and detail mean the car genuinely delivers the ultimate driving pleasure.
“Following the launch of the Talos XXT at the end of last year, these really are exciting times for Talos and potential customers who are seeking a driving experience like no other.”
