What's the story
Edit Automotive has taken the wraps off the g11, a custom sports car based on the sixth-generation Porsche 911 997.
The automaker plans to modify just 99 cars, inspired by the original 911's simplicity and ease of driving experience.
The bespoke coupe retains amenities such as air conditioning, heated seats, and traction control but gets an upgraded cabin with premium materials.

Sixth-generation Porsche 911 offers a mechanical steering wheel
The company chose the sixth-generation Porsche 911 as its resto-mod base because it offers an engaging driving experience with a mechanical steering wheel.
It features a wide body with a 3.6-liter or 3.8-liter flat-six engine. Each engine is re-assembled with new IMS bearings and stainless steel cylinder liners.
It also gets Ohlins adjustable suspension setup, forged wheels, and new brakes with Brembo calipers.
Opinion
Limited-run Edit g11 will impact bespoke sports car market
Edit Automotive's g11 starts at $187,450 and can be customized to the customer's desires.
