110 AUTOMOTIVE
Theon Design has revealed its latest bespoke commission , a fully restored and enhanced Porsche 911 ( 964 ) that blends a number of exciting company firsts with Theon ’ s core values of worldclass design and engineering .
THEON DESIGN REVEALS BEL001 – FURTHER ENHANCING THE AIR- COOLED EXPERIENCE WITH FIRST SUPERCHARGED COMMISSION
Destined for a discerning customer from Belgium , BEL001 is the first Theon commission to feature its 400bhp supercharged flat-six cylinder engine and also features semi-active suspension , resulting in a redefined 911 that pushes the boundaries of the air-cooled experience to exhilarating new heights .
As with all Porsche 911s enhanced by Theon Design , BEL001 is defined by total purity of purpose , mixing OEM-level design , quality and manufacturing techniques , with an obsessive approach to detail – all in a bespoke package tailored to the customer ’ s exacting desires . Each Theon Design commission represents an individual ’ s Porsche 911 fantasy brought to life .
As Hawley explains : “ For BEL001 , the customer wanted a highly-usable , modernised , air-cooled 911 , one that combined classic Porsche driving dynamics with real grand touring ability . With BEL001 we ’ ve certainly delivered on the brief ; it ’ s a car that ’ s just as at home dissecting a British B-road as it is blasting across the open roads of Europe .”
