but until today, no one had come past the air-cooled 993. This changes today as Edit Automotive offers a limited number of 99 bespoke sportscars based on the Porsche 997 with a series of exterior, interior, and mechanical upgrades.
As a reminder, the 997 generation debuted in 2004, got facelifted in 2008, and remained in production until 2013. While this sounds like a very recent model to work on, Edit Automotive reportedly chose it because it was the last 911 generation before the electrically-assisted power steering. The bespoke sportscar goes under the name Edit G11 and can be based on any 997 variant with a widebody .
The powertrain is freshened-up with new IMS bearings and cylinder liners made of stainless steel. Depending on the trim of the donor car, the engine is a 3.6-liter or 3.8-liter flat-six, producing between 321 hp and 402 hp . It can be mated with either a manual gearbox or a PDK automatic. Other mechanical upgrades include a set of Ohlins adjustable dampers, optional carbon-ceramic discs with Brembo brake calipers, and a limited-slip differential.
Edit Automotive only showed renderings of the G11, but judging from the photos taken inside their workshop, the first real-life example is already underway. The company hopes to build 99 units of the bespoke sportscar. As reported by the Edit G11 starts from €170k , which is about the same price as a brand-new Porsche 992 Carrera 4 GTS.
