The introduction of the Group GT1 race class by the FIA in 1993 sparked one of motorsport’s most remarkable eras. A conversation about these golden years between English Porsche specialist Richard Tuthill and his client Elliot Ross led to the extraordinary Tuthill GT One, a homage to that incredible era.

Limited to just 22 examples, each GT One is a masterpiece of design and performance, requiring 3,500 man-hours to complete. To the delight of its owners, it’s also fully road-legal. The carbon fibre body, styled by California-based designer Florian Flatau, is a testament to both aesthetic beauty and aerodynamic efficiency. At its heart lies a 4.0-litre flat-six engine, available in two variants — a naturally aspirated version producing over 500 bhp and a forced induction option delivering more than 600 bhp. This engine is complemented by an Inconel exhaust system, twin wishbone suspension, and carbon ceramic brakes, all working harmoniously to offer an exhilarating driving experience.

The GT One’s engineering is equally impressive, with cutting-edge materials and meticulous attention to detail evident throughout. A 7-speed dual-clutch transmission, or an optional manual gearbox, channels power to the road, while the vehicle’s underbody and aerodynamic surfaces have been optimised through advanced CFD analysis. Weighing just 1,200 kg, the GT One is both lightweight and robust, with a comprehensive FIA-approved roll-over protection system (ROPS) integrated into its structure.

Tuthill has hinted that an optional aero package may be developed for track use, but for now, we are more than satisfied with the version currently on offer.
