TK's Lancia Aurelia and Jaguar XK were special - time to up the ante
Those of you with a good memory for restomods - very much easier said than done with a multitude of options out there - might remember the European programme from Thornley Kelham. Kicking off with a gorgeous reimagination of- and there’s a Porsche 356 to follow. Now, however, it’s time for the European RS; also known as an old 911 with more 6,000 hours spent making it the very best sports car it can be.
A significant amount of lightweight materials in the construction, despite being wider and longer than the donor car, is what keeps the European RS so slender. The bumpers and spoilers are carbon, the doors aluminium skinned, the windows plexiglass and so on. Your eyes aren’t deceiving you, either: this really is now a very broad, very short 911. TK’s expert team of metal workers have made a Porsche 220mm wider than standard , 19mm longer and 51mm lower.
For more exciting revs and speeds, the European RS gets four-way adjustable coilovers from JRZ Motorsport, adjustable anti-roll bars, a much faster steering rack - 2.5 turns - and new front wishbones ‘based on the modern-day GT3’. Brakes feature six pistons at the front and four behind, while the tyres - on Fuchs-style aluminium Fikse wheels - are Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. Those wanting a more extreme European RS can spec Cup 2s, ceramic brakes and adaptive damping.
