THE ASTONISHING 11.000RPM LIGHTWEIGHT MACHINE – The Tuthill Porsche 911K

In its dynamic debut on camera, the concept, build and performance of the sensational Tuthill Porsche 911K is revealed in this adrenaline-packed new film from Collecting Cars. This lightweight bespoke sports car uses a vast amount of carbon-fibre to keep weight to a minimum, while a 3.1-litre flat-six engine with a rev limit of 11.000rpm produces around 350bhp, giving it an incredible power-to-weight ratio and insane sound!

With a furious soundtrack and visceral driving experience as the rev counter needle spins towards 11.000rpm, its maker Richard Tuthill likens the purist character of the car to “a four-wheeled motorbike”. What’s more, with some versions of the latest Porsche 911 now tipping the scales at 1700kg, the Tuthill 911K at just 846kg represents an astonishing achievement at just half the weight.




Richard Tuthill has already been quoted as stating that the 911K could be made even lighter with more extreme weight-saving; potentially even below the 800kg mark – so it seems that this new take on what a lightweight Porsche can be has a very exciting future for enthusiasts.
