How Gunther Werks' Peter Nam Made Porsches Even Better

About this episode

Joe interviews Peter Nam about his journey in transforming Porsches and running Gunther Werks.

This week, Joe sits down with Peter Nam, founder of Gunther Werks, to talk about how a finance graduate and former tennis hopeful built one of the most respected Porsche remastering companies in the world. Peter explains the philosophy behind transforming the Porsche 993 into a modern hyper-performance machine, how Gunther Werks builds cars by hand in California, and why performance always comes before looks. They get into carbon fiber manufacturing, an 840-hp twin-turbo 911, insane six-figure paint jobs, and what it’s really like running a boutique car company in Southern California while Porsche purists scream online.
