Guntherwerks Fixed Nearly Everything We Didn't Like On the 400R - Two Takes

[@TheSmokingTire]

What do you think of the Guntherwerks 400R?

[@RAZGR1Z]

Dream car.

[@davect01]

Crazy that such a short car still has such a bad turning radius?

[@antoinepageau8336]

Pretty sure this doesn't come with a 60k powertrain warranty.

[@jacobfowler8795]

I love it. I need one.

[@jrlongmeat]

The power from any gear is insane

[@rjk778855]

I liked the fact that Zack kinda got thrown into it. Gives us a great look at what a true first impression looks like

[@MLGKrazeR]

Same!

[@ghepardogts]

Yeah you can see him intimidated in the beginning and then loosen up, gradually rev higher, corner harder. Kinda shows how well this car is made.

[@eb110americana]

@@ghepardogts It is a bit intimidating to drive a car with such a light flywheel, especially when you are not used to it. It will go for redline and shift in a blink of an eye--but it will stall just as quickly if you use up all the available torque. There is zero cushion. Once you get in sync with the clutch slippage necessary, then it's all bliss from there...as long as you're not stuck in traffic.

[@aquastu]

Its a gorgeous dream car. That color, the stance, the ducktail. Its perfect. Thanks Matt!

[@maereanm]

so much giggling from 2 grown men feeling like children again. the fun is at max the entire time. thank you Matt, Zack and Guntherwerks.

[@TheSmokingTire]

We are out of fun.

[@everydaybodybuilding2282]

Biggest smile I’ve seen on a one take after that tunnel lol

[@Jokwoo]

Epic. I’ve never seen you guys have this much fun!

[@Bikesands]

One of the best Smoking Tires yet. Zack’s response was awesome and just to see the joy you two have driving this care is priceless.

[@bigmike8847]

Matt was HAULING ASS for this video. That car moves!

[@gaberon1]

Dude, this was a video! This car shows speed on camera so well. Sounds incredible!

[@SFterps]

This is hands down one of the most beautiful cars available

[@HandsomeAlex25]

9:40 I love how Matt is absolutely mobbing and having a blast, and Zack starts talking about the contours of the carbon on the doors.

[@MikeFinnley]

Man an engine sound only canyon drive would be sooo well deserved for this weapon

[@pilotwjf]

Matt's face while describing Zach's mobbing. 16:19 Priceless

[@rw9495]

Came here to say the same thing lmao his reaction was so good 🤣

[@MikeS42069]

That man is experiencing pure automotive bliss

[@cathalfolan8441]

I doubt Matt is going slow but Zack never seems even slightly bothered.

[@アマ-p2l]

@@cathalfolan8441 Mr. Farah used to drive crazy back in the day. You think he's going fast in the one takes, you should've seen him fishtail his own cars through the canyons that he knows like the back of his hand. I think he never recorded himself going 100% because he's a somewhat responsible person and he didn't want troubles with the law. Anyways what I'm saying is Zack used to film one takes, so he was in the car off-camera, and Farah used to drive even more crazy when the cameras turned off so if he took Zack with him that either means Zack lost his fear of crashing over time or he was always fearless or trusted Matts' driving skills. It's been a long time though I think these days they don't drive faster than what they show us because nowadays they've got things to lose and places to be.

[@RTDragonCommando]

I absolutely love the idea of taking older tech and pushing it to the limits with modern manufacturing and design. I wish more companies would do things like that, though I understand the economical reasons they don't.

[@ElliWoelfin]

The idea is really pretty awesome. I'd personally love to see the same idea applied to like pre-war straight eights. Now I'm sad that's not a thing yet...

[@literallyshaking8019]

Holy shit it’s beautiful. The things people are doing with classic 911s are mind blowing.

[@ArtDrivenRoads]

for a regular guy like me watching cars like this and the singer, feels like watching marvel movies. I am happy though these cars are real, and there are people capable buying and appreciating these masterpieces!

[@J11P338E]

Speechless about the sound.

[@alexbernier6154]

The sound of this going thru the tunnel brought heavy nostalgic vibes of watching supercar videos on the internet ca. 2001.

[@bcs528]

The bodywork, color, the interior, the carbon, the engine, manual. This ticks the boxes for me..

[@zackklapman3569]

The color choices are sooooo good.

[@jacobopatz6344]

This is one of the most beautiful cars I've ever seen. The color, the interior, THE SEATS, everything is perfect.

[@mikedean5595]

I realised I had a smile on my face right through that video- man what a cool car!

[@ToasterBurner35]

You two have become my “favorite car KZbinrs” over the past like 8 months. Love the back and forth between you guys

[@Trapper50cal]

This truly exhibits the spirit of: "Tough to say goodbye, but amazing to watch you leave."

[@zackklapman3569]

True. It has a great rear end.

[@Trapper50cal]

@TwinTurbo Ray paraphrased for emphasis. :-)

[@jalenad11]

No way I'd be comfortable in the passenger seat while Matt was driving. Going that fast, I'd want to be driving myself. He was MOVIN

[@Userh211]

Matt is probably the ONLY guy I would trust to drive that fast in these canyons. He knows these roads and how to control a car better than 99.9% of people driving there

[@nathanchildress5596]

Agreed, Matt’s got his limits figured out, but I’d be testing the grab handles and doing some phantom braking for sure!!

[@hovnojede010101]

That 3rd to 4th shift felt sensational even on video

[@santiagoluna3599]

Shoutout to 🇩🇪 for creating these curvy symphonic machines, can’t wait to own one

[@Higher750]

So obvious you guys are just having a good ‘ol time!

[@good_roads]

I love when Zack is mobbing. And "zackery is officially mobbing" is definitely a t shirt i would buy.

[@oyyy-ch9gx]

Matt mobs harder than Zack lmao but being in the passenger seat is a different experience

[@good_roads]

@@oyyy-ch9gx true but we expect it from matt

[@TranceFur]

Why would anyone wear a shirt that says that?

[@good_roads]

@@TranceFur maybe "officially mobbing"

[@DB.KOOPER]

That color looks like Fender Sage Green Metalic. It looks AMAZING. Love the color.

[@popeye7581]

When Matt starts laughing is fast!

[@5amH45lam]

12:30 - hope you remembered your GoPro! What a beautiful machine and what a soundtrack. Amazing. 😍

[@poosie1guy]

Great review Farah 👏

[@Romedanger]

I saw this in Malibu a few weeks ago. It’s perfect.

[@gabrielroma6933]

i've been in love with this thing and the singers DLS for a while, had a grin on my face the whole time watching

[@BrendanEvan]

It’s epic in SO many ways. I’d have a really difficult time driving something that expensive hard though. Drove an original 60’s GT500 to and from a car show once and was completely terrified the whole time.

[@ElyciusM]

this is one of the best looking porsches, factory or not, that i've ever seen in my life. my god.

[@DenisKudlik]

one of the best one takes you guys ever did

[@DeployableMango]

Not many car reviews/videos make me smile as much or *actually* make my jaw drop. The Guntherwerks did both. Maybe one day I’ll simply catch a glimpse of one, let alone sit in the drivers seat.

[@sqlevolicious]

oof, so gorgeous, the sound, the look, the race suspension and badass engine, immaculate period correct interior, just perfect.

[@mattcan69]

the sounds and the laughing on the straight parts made my day .

[@infidel900rr]

Awesome video & amazing car! It's fun to watch you guys having so much fun.

[@regel303]

Thank you, Guntherwerks. Thank you, Matt. Superb videography that resonates. Excellent job, Matt, communicating one of life's great pleasures. That particular Porsche makes my short list, in that color--or signal yellow.

[@QueensGTO_Viper]

I like these the most. Not denigrating new 911s, but nothing new can give you the old school analog feel which is most fun to drive IMO. Seems like this car hits the mark beautifully.

[@Relaxiknowarchie]

OK.... @5:58.... That mid shift over run. My stars, that's glorious.

[@tayne5009]

The G50 box is a Getrag, that's what the G stands for.

[@stefan-stocksmadesimple5241]

The cars going backwards in the outside walk shots were a nice touch... 😁😁👍

[@58rr]

I feel like this is the first time that I've "felt" the speed of a car conveyed through a video. This thing is nuts...

[@doomerconsumer]

great way to put it

[@kellinpatler]

So Matt sells the Safari, and uploads this video the following day. Also has a blue carbon Guntherwerks model in the studio. Coincidence? I think not! 🤔

[@Finnspin_unicycles]

"I know where my dollars have gone" (9:25)

[@cybernetix86]

My favorite Porsche ever cranked to 11... That's a thing of beauty. I'd love to see their version of the turbo wheels. It was my favorite wheels of the era.

[@tinashemkudu143]

Guntherwerks 400R is a stunning vehicle. Its definitely a bucket list car for me.

[@AndyMac508]

That car is an absolute work of art. One of the nicest porches I've ever seen. I SO dig the old and raw style. If I could afford it that would be the porsche for me.

[@Tumleren]

Watching Zachs genuine first impressions was great

[@swaccelerated]

The green on that car is (fill in the blank) Perfect.

[@caseysprague39]

im 51 and grew up loving the 911 so this is the best of both worlds when it comes to the evolution of the model ... I love the old school look with the modern power and tech plus the wide body and fat tires just looks fucking insane !!! it looks like what hot wheels would do back in the day lol I have to say this color is beautiful .... to bad its in a price range 99% of the world would never be able to afford , 4-500,000 grand is freaking insane but if I had it this is what I would want

[@fonque]

This has been my favorite review so far. This actually felt fast on camera!

[@mikepawlikguitar]

14:58 nice downshifting buddy!!! Wow that was sick mate 🤙👌

[@lindvi0r]

You know it’s good when Matt starts going hard. I’m only half way through the video.. Zack you better go hard too lmao

[@OmegaxPrime]

The eye contact when Zack says "every bit of me" to Matt is priceless. What an outstanding machine, I'd have a really hard time choosing between this beauty and an optioned out 812.

[@mariodesmo]

Stunning. I'd like to know if and where it could be seen in person.

[@jamesgarvey8402]

9:15 when it comes on cam is just.. oh wow.

[@glennmartin2403]

Maniacal laughter tells the story - awesome! Great story telling

[@PapaG603]

Geez..I don't remember seeing a car that at least shows that much pace...maybe the 720...it's looks blistering fast..Well done

[@davidyaroch6622]

They should loose the on the phone app for suspension changes. How may times will I adjust the dampers on the sofa VS in the drivers seat. Simple knob would be great.

[@kurt.bradley]

That’s the internal app for fine-tuning the settings for the suspension modes on the Gunther Werks development car. It won’t be what customers get in their cars.

[@andrewpacheco3541]

The look on your face after the tunnel at 4:40 lol 😆😂🤣

[@devintolliver92]

Beautiful car!!! You guys should do videos together more, its cool getting both opinions at the same time while ripping around in the car.

[@bring0723]

F-bomb at the end…. love it!

[@jochem1986]

Why are there so little views on this channel, with so many subs? Matt is a legend!

[@mikescayenne]

Cuz Matt gets political on here. Add to the fact that he is a liberal snowflake and you have to be a true car guy to watch his videos and deal with listening to him.

[@webfreakz]

Seems like one heck of a ride!

[@masterwon]

just pureblood motorsport beauty! and that comment "if you wanna throw an LS into a porsche," Hoovie has left the chat. LOL

Love the tunnel cam on the dials, I saw nothing :) But another Amazing video, this really is my dream car.

[@vinh291]

i love seeing the cars go backwards at 1:41

[@jeduardoslb1]

Why do I think that Matt has order one of these? That's the feeling that this video gives me. Plus, Matt recently sold two of his cars.

[@davect01]

We all can dream, while Matt and Zach get to experience. ☺️

[@imSchwaggy]

this car is literally my dream spec. that olive green , gold wheels , red and carbon interior . good lordt .

I thought the Ford GT was your best work mobbing on big tujunga. But damm this is def right up there

[@baileybrewer1172]

Great review guys. That thing looks like an absolute riot!

Dig the wheels...just deep dish enough to be like the subtle Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse...they have the look......"Be nice, until it's time to not be nice"..

[@papapetad]

That is one tasty chunk of metal right there... 🤤 I could kind of feel the intense buzz Zach was feeling at the helm. Sensory overload.

[@cjgordon22]

Your buying a feeling. What many modern cars are lacking that raw feeling.

[@mikhailman]

13:47 look at those breaking tyre residue on the road! Looks like someone had a bad day....

[@marcust510]

The noise is intoxicating. I can only imagine what it is like to actually experience this. Would be a complete sensory stimulation overload lol

[@bigrokadventures]

Such a amazing bit of kit, between these guys and singer i really need to get rich somehow haha, you guys when the covid is over need to come to Australia and drive some of our toys

[@all-flat-engines]

FYI the 993 has a terrible turning radius by default (My C4 is ridiculously bad), I'm sure with the widened front it just magnifies it.

[@thirdpedalnirvana]

I agree with Matt. If its a jack of all trades, sporty sedan, ok I understand why you need different suspension modes. But if a dedicated sports car, designed for real roads, has a sport setting, that either means they made a damper mode that is way underdamped and unusable for anything other than traffic, or it means (like it does in this one) that anything other than comfort is unusable. Adjustable dampers don’t adjust the spring rate, and every spring and corner load has a specific damping force which is correct. Adjusting the damping force to anything but this ideal (critically damped) setting is automatically a subpar suspension tuning. Dedicated sports cars should have the correct damping for the given springs and corner weights. And dedicated sports cars should be tuned to work on real roads. Anyone with 500k to spend on a GW 400R is probably going to own a dedicated track car before they buy track insurance for their custom built 993. Vehicles like this don’t have to fill multiple roles, they need to fill just one, very well.

[@ViceCityNightcrawler]

Wow hell of a car and that color combo is too clean

[@ZeGermanHam]

It's quite a special thing when the cam phasing changes. Wowie.

[@christopherballenger-brook4027]

That was a perfectly matched shift.

[@mattkosiarski658]

Singer and Gunther are dream cars

[@davidsherley2652]

Agreed; but Guntherwerks makes a 993 carried to its ultimate conclusion, where Singer makes a car that literally has nothing to do with the 964 they cannibalize .

[@Karto86]

One of the best episodes ever :D

[@mikescayenne]

Wow the sounds of the downshifts were intoxicating.

[@maxxedredlineproductions]

Those gold wheels work so well! :D

[@TrackMonkey327]

I love that shade of green. On a side note, in 2035+ (or whenever new ICE cars will be unavailable or hard to get), I can see companies like Guntherwerks "reimagining" older Mustangs, S2000s, 'vettes, Miatas, etc, to offer "new/updated" analog driver-oriented ICE cars. At least I can hope. :-)
