THE CHELSEA GREY COMMISSION
The first of these automotive masterpieces ever completed for a customer, Gunther Werks’ 400R Sporting Touring “Chelsea Grey Commission" is presented for sale here. It is a truly magnificent, superbly tailored creation brimming with inventive details that are more than skin deep. Since debuted by Gunther Werks during the 2018 edition of The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering, this 400R Sport Touring has captivated Porschephiles and automotive journalists alike with its uniquely contrasting assemblage of high-tech equipment and subtly retro aesthetic.
Step over the carbon fiber cabin sills-with their “Chelsea Grey Limited to 1 of 25″ script- and onward into the cockpit and you are greeted by an interior which, at first glance, seems to be milled from a solid block of matte carbon fiber. Despite retaining the iconic 993-style layout which all Porschephiles have come to recognize, Gunther Werks has “flipped the script" on its structural and aesthetic aspects. The dashboard, doors, sport seats, steering wheel, transmission tunnel, and rear seat-delete panel are all beautifully constructed from matte carbon fiber, which has been left exposed in many areas. Nonetheless, acres of crisp, luxurious red leather cover the lower dashboard and footwells, while matching red leather door pulls and floormats neatly tie together with the gray Alcantara suede trimmings on the headliner. An Alcantara steering wheel is topped off by a
12-o’clock marker formed from billet, as is the five-axis-milled sport button surround.
