PAST PERFORMANCE
A LEGACY OF INNOVATION.
Over the last two decades, ZURLINDEN cars have made canyon runs over the Angeles Crest Highway, traversed Mulholland Drive, cruised 17 Mile Drive, and made runs through New York’s glorious Hudson River Valley. ZG’s cars are valued for their design, driving dynamics and adherence to the Ferdinand Porsche philosophy of approaching the ideal.
Every project informs the next. Together the cars form a lineage of experimentation and progress – a living R&D archive that drives every ZURLINDEN innovation forward. We love what we do and our past builds reflect that. We don’t believe that a custom build is a sober experience but a trip into possibilities and we think our cars reflect that mindset.
sAN PEDRO
1979 Porsche 911SC
San Pedro channels the soul of a modern California hotrod, blending 60s–70s racing spirit with today’s technology. Its fast-revving 3.2 short-stroke engine and vintage high-butterfly induction deliver classic race-car character, while hidden modern electronics ensure precise fuel and ignition control.
Light, nimble, and quick, San Pedro balances race-inspired performance with everyday usability – equally at home on back roads or city commutes.
More than a car, it’s a tribute to a golden era of motorsport and a showcase of ZURLINDEN’s philosophy: honoring the past while elevating it with modern capability.
SMYRNA
1972 Porsche 911T
Smyrna is our vision of a truly elevated restomod – a 1972 Porsche 911T reimagined with modern performance and handcrafted detail. Its 3.4L twin-plug engine with ITB intake delivers lively, responsive power within the classic 911 silhouette.
Steel bodywork preserves authentic craftsmanship, while custom leather upholstery and Wilton wool carpeting create a refined, bespoke interior. Adjustable coil-overs and reproduction 2.8 RSR brake calipers with dual-master cylinders ensure confident handling and stopping power.
This car embodies our philosophy: honoring timeless design while elevating it with modern engineering and luxury. A true testament to our craft.

1977 Porsche 911S
This 1977 Porsche 911S is a stunning RSR-inspired custom build. During the restoration, the car was stripped to bare metal and repainted in its original rare color of Continental Orange (107).
It received bodywork modifications with steel fender flares and fiberglass bumpers, along with RSR-style wheels. The cabin was re-trimmed in black and grey Italian Nappa leather, featuring sport seats and RS-style door panels.
The car is powered by a rebuilt 3.6-liter or 993 flat-six engine with MoTec electronics mated to a 915 5-speed manual gearbox with limited-slip differential. The chassis was further enhanced with welded-in reinforcements and equipped with coilover suspension for improved handling.
MONTEREY
1989 Porsche Carrera
The Monterey is a one-of-a-kind long-hood build that blends classic Porsche character with modern ZURLINDEN design. Period-correct ST steel flares and bumpers give it a familiar vintage presence, subtly sharpened with contemporary details.
Inside, vintage sport seats in Nappa leather, paired with Alcantara and anodized accents, create a purposeful, driver-focused cockpit.
Beneath the bodywork, the Monterey delivers serious performance: a wide stance on Michelin TB15s, Ohlins road-rally coilovers for balanced control, and a torque-rich 3.8L engine that charges effortlessly through the canyons.
Monterey is a visceral blend of vintage thrill and modern capability – pure ZG.
SLATE
1990 Porsche 964 Carrera 2
Finished in Slate Grey, this build features hand-fabricated steel bodywork inspired by early ’70s 911s: custom rockers and bumpers, integrated LED lighting, and 17" Fikse wheels in frosted RSR finish.
The interior is re-trimmed in Italian leather with square-weave carpet, backdated power seats with pneumatic lumbar, 356-style gauges, custom roll bar, rear seat delete, teak wood accents, upgraded audio, and electric A/C.
The original engine was rebuilt and upgraded to 3.8 liters with forged Pauter rods, ITBs, a GT3 resonance plenum, improved oiling, and MoTec management.
A meticulously executed backdate with modern performance, The Slate car blends timeless style with contemporary engineering in true ZURLINDEN fashion.
