Gunther Werks revealed the Brundle Edition Turbo on 21 October 2026. It is a five-car run of the Huntington Beach company's 993-based Turbo, built in collaboration with Le Mans winner and former Formula 1 driver Martin Brundle and designed by his daughter, Charlie Brundle, who has worked as a designer at McLaren Automotive, Aston Martin and Jaguar Land Rover.
The car makes its public debut at the Concours at Wynn Las Vegas.

Chassis
- Double-wishbone suspension with Sport and Track calibrations.
- An adjustable high-downforce rear wing and front canards.
- Brembo CCMR carbon-ceramic brakes with forged billet calipers.
- Forged magnesium wheels carrying Brundle branding.
A helmet you can drive
The two-tone pearl livery is hand-painted and taken from one of Martin Brundle's race helmets, and it carries on inside into the seat upholstery. Gunther Werks says there are hidden "Easter eggs" throughout. The ones it lists:
- A quote on the dashboard and the helmet insignia inside the cabin.
- Hand-signed dashboard end plates and an embossed "MB" monogram on the headrests.
- "BRUNDLE" lettering on the rear decklid, smoked front indicators and taillights, and Brundle Edition door sills.
- A one-off key.
Each car also comes with a Bell HP77 helmet in the matching livery, signed by Martin Brundle.
Our take
This is not Gunther Werks' first five-car Turbo edition, after the Thermal Edition, but it has the better story: a car designed by a daughter for her father, finished in the colours he raced in. Mechanically it is the Turbo you already know, with 10 hp more. With five cars and no price published, this one is about the story rather than the stats.
