by Presentation of the First Production RML GT Hypercar
British engineering company RML Group has unveiled the first production example of the GT Hypercar (GTH), which is based on the Porsche 911 Turbo S but has received significant modifications. The car is equipped with a carbon body, an adjustable suspension, and an engine with a power output of 907 hp.
Development History and Design Features
After the completion of the Porsche 918 Hybrid, the hypercar niche remained vacant, and RML Group decided to fill it with its own development. The GTH model was first shown in the form of the P39 prototype last year, and now the company has presented the first production example at the Salon Privé event in the UK. This version is a special edition for the company’s 40th anniversary.
Although the GTH retains some elements of the Porsche 911, such as glazing, mirrors, and lighting, the rest of the body is completely redesigned using carbon fiber. Extended wings, a lengthened rear end, and massive aerodynamic elements give the car an appearance close to that of Le Mans Hypercar racing machines, adapted for public roads.
Exterior and Interior
The first example is painted in a bright shade of Storm Purple with carbon fiber accents; the roof and hood have a purple carbon coating. The center-lock wheels are painted gold, and the brake calipers are in Gunmetal color. The RML logo on the nose and the GTH lettering on the rear are hand-painted in gold.
The car’s interior is upholstered in leather with Crayon-colored stitching and matching seatbelts. The interior also features carbon fiber inserts painted in the body color and a Storm Purple safety cage.
Technical Specifications and Production
The special version includes optional Performance and Track packages, providing an active adjustable suspension, a safety cage, and the removal of rear seats. The engine is a 3.7-liter flat-six with twin turbos, developed with the involvement of Litchfield Motors. It produces 907 hp and over 1000 Nm of torque.
RML plans to release 39 examples of the hypercar, including 10 units of the special 40th-anniversary edition. The price starts from £495,000 excluding taxes and the cost of the base Porsche 911 Turbo S.
The GTH is the 39th project of the engineering firm, which has collaborated with various automakers since its founding in 1984.
This project demonstrates how specialized engineering companies can transform production cars into unique hypercars, combining racing technology with luxury. The use of carbon materials and powerful powertrains make such models attractive to collectors and high-speed car enthusiasts.
