Theon design makes goodwood festival of speed debut with latest commission: ita001

Theon #design has made its debut at the world-famous Goodwood Festival of Speed, displaying its latest air-cooled Porsche 911 commission: the 4.0-litre, carbon-fibre bodied ITA001 in front of record crowds.

Theon Design's appearance at the world-renowned motoring event – a paradise for car lovers held at Goodwood House in the Sussex countryside – puts the Oxfordshire based firm's latest handcrafted Porsche masterpiece on show in front of an international audience, with over 200,000 guests expected to attend the five-day #automotive spectacle, a centrepiece of the global motoring calendar.

Theon Design's entirely bespoke, carbon bodied, 911 (964)-based machine - created for a customer in Italy - will be on show for the duration of the event as part of suspension firm TracTive's display.

ITA001, as with all #theondesign commissions, features the Dutch suspension company's state of the art, 5-stage selectable semi-active suspension setup – an infinitely customisable damping system that enables Theon to instil each of its build with a broad range of dynamic abilities.

Adam Hawley, #theondesign Co-Founder, said: "We're delighted to be showing our latest commission, ITA001, to the world at the Goodwood Festival of Speed - for many the world's leading #automotive event. ITA001 retains the air-cooled 911's enthralling charm, but blends it with modern, focused performance and dynamic ability; we've created a classic 911 with an addictive dose of modern GT3 thrown in."

Latest Commission on show: ITA001 

ITA001 has been created for Theon Design's first Italian customer, a discerning collector from Milan. The car uses a 911 (964) as its base, and is transformed, with a featherweight all-carbon body, semi-active suspension, 993 RS brakes and a snarling, 400bhp 4.0-litre naturally aspirated flat-six. Thanks to its lightweight body, it tips the scales at just 1152kg.

Finished in the classic Porsche colour of Schwartz Black, a '70s hue, ITA001 is a fully-restored and enhanced machine that - as with all #theondesign commissions - combines OEM+ #design and engineering know-how, with cutting-edge technology and manufacturing techniques. These elements are fused with obsessive attention to detail and total purity of purpose to deliver the ultimate air-cooled Porsche 911 driving experience.

Theon #design has applied its customary laser-focused approach to ensure that ITA001 handles with modern sophistication. There's transformed breadth of dynamic ability thanks to the switchable, five-stage TracTive Active Controlled Electronics (ACE) damping system – carefully calibrated over countless test miles to perform flawlessly in a wide range of driving environments.

Hawley continued: "With ITA001, we've applied Theon Design's signature blend of cutting-edge #automotive technology, OEM grade #design and manufacturing techniques, along with British hand-crafted quality – all fused together by a team obsessed with achieving air-cooled Porsche perfection. The results speak for themselves; it's a classily stylish, almost understated 911, but one that packs thrilling, modern performance."

Theon Design's ITA001 will be on display at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, on stand 68/69 until Sunday 16th June.

Prices for #theondesign commissions start at £380,000. Each car is a totally unique collaboration with the customer and takes 18 months to build. Price excludes donor car, shipping and local taxes.
