There are plenty of companies willing to bolt some carbon fibre onto a Porsche 911 GT3 RS and call it a day. But Yorkshire-born outfit Talos Vehicles clearly isn’t one of them.

Its latest creation, the Talos Porsche 911 RT, takes Stuttgart’s already mildly unhinged GT3 RS and pushes it further into full-blown track car territory — while somehow still claiming to be civilised enough for a Sunday blast to the Cotswolds.

Limited to just 20 examples worldwide, the 911 RT has been designed as what Talos calls “a true race car for the road”, taking inspiration from the legendary 911 R racers of old while wrapping everything around modern GT3 RS bones. The result looks absolutely furious.

Using advanced 3D scanning technology, Talos digitally captured a race-spec 911 and redeveloped the shape to integrate seamlessly with the road-going chassis. The bodywork itself is dominated by exposed carbon fibre panels developed alongside motorsport specialists MCT Carbon, helping shave around 80kg from the already lightweight donor car.

Add centre-lock wheels, aggressive aero and arguably the perfect stance, and the RT has all the subtlety of a GT car leaving the pitlane at the Circuit de la Sarthe.

Power comes from a naturally aspirated flat-six producing around 540bhp, with Talos deliberately keeping things faithful to Porsche’s traditional recipe. There’s no wild hybrid trickery or absurd horsepower arms race here — just sharp throttle response, linear delivery and what promises to be a properly immersive driving experience.

Underneath, there’s enough going on to keep conversation flowing at any Porsche meet-up. The RT receives a bespoke suspension package developed with Öhlins using the firm’s digital TTX dampers. Owners can tweak the electronically adjustable set-up via smartphone, meaning you can theoretically soften things for the drive home and then stiffen it back up when the mood — or a race circuit — takes you.

Inside, Talos has resisted the temptation to turn the cabin into some stripped-out torture chamber. Instead, it mixes motorsport cues with a more luxurious road car feel, with every customer given near-total freedom over colours, materials and finishes.

That bespoke element is a huge part of the appeal. According to Talos boss Jamie Thwaites, owners are heavily involved in shaping their individual cars, making each one effectively a one-off.

And honestly, if you’re spending what is almost certainly an eye-watering amount of money on a hand-built Porsche restomod, you’d probably want it your way too.
