In 1993, the FIA introduced the GT1 race class for Le Mans, marking the beginning of one of the most iconic racing periods in the sport’s history. To date, more than 15 manufacturers have built cars for the GT1 class, creating a legacy of extraordinary competition and innovation. These homologation cars often had
compromised road performance as they were built to allow manufacturers to optimize them for track use.
This Tuthill GT ONE, introduced at the 2024 Monterey Car Week is designed specifically for the road.
GT ONE: Limited to 22 cars
The GT ONE was born through a conversation between Richard Tuthill and client Elliot Ross, the film producer and car collector.
Tuthill will only build 22 production examples with each vehicle requiring 3,500 build-hours of meticulous construction to create each client’s personalised car.
Styling and aesthetically designed by California-based designer Florian Flatau, the GT ONE features a full carbon fiber body that is powered by a 4.0-litre, 6-cylinder engine; available in both naturally aspirated and forced induction versions. The naturally aspirated engine option will produce over 500 BHP, inspired by our high-revving 911K engine, while the forced induction offering will produce over 600 BHP.
Tuthill also offers the clients a choice of transmissions; a 7-speed dual-clutch option, as fitted to the car on show at The Quail, or a manual equivalent. Additionally, the GT ONE is equipped with twin wishbone front and rear suspension, carbon ceramic brakes, and bespoke brake calipers, achieving a weight of 1,200 kg.
Cutting-edge engineering and exceptional materials are used throughout the car. The underbody and surface aero performance have been optimized through CFD analysis to enhance performance. The car boasts a carbon fiber front clam, rear clam, and a full carbon roof with an integrated air intake. Within the bodywork are
an FIA-based rollover protection system (ROPS) and full carbon fiber doors with side impact bars. An optional aero package may be developed for track use.
Tuthill remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of automotive excellence, combining decades of real-world driving experience with innovative engineering.
We are delighted to partner with Michelin, and run the vehicle on the world-renowned Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tire. The Pilot Sport 4 S sets the benchmark for all-round performance, feel, and handling; a truly iconic tire with uncompromised character, just like the GT ONE.
