The Apparatus
GS 964
"A machine for pure driving pleasure,
a sculpture on four wheels,
an experience."
Our Story
GS Manufaktur was founded in 2015 by the father-son duo Gerhard Stefan and Philipp Göller in Gaggenau, Baden. Our vision: to restore a Porsche sports car in such a way that it meets our tastes in terms of appearance, technology and driving dynamics. The solution was a specially created carbon chassis design based on the 964, a performance-enhanced drive unit and a tastefully designed interior. The aim was always to combine what we considered to be the most attractive attributes of the more analog 911 generations.
What began as a joint project between father and son was never intended to be a business model – but gradually evolved from restoring our own sports car into an internationally respected manufactory. Gerhard has spent his entire life with Porsche, and Philipp grew up immersed in this fascination. From countless hours in the workshop, we developed a shared goal: to build vehicles that not only drive perfectly but also stand out both visually and technically.
“Where others stop, we keep going. Our standard is German craftsmanship at its finest. After all, every vehicle we deliver bears our name – and we’re proud of that!”

The Apparatus GS 964
Award-winning design language
At GS Manufaktur, classic Porsche design merges with innovative accents. The signature hip line of the 911 is widened and smoothed. The combination of modern wheel sizes, CNC-machined aluminum add-on parts, and surface-refined trim elements gives each GS964 its unmistakable look. Every detail is carefully crafted to achieve a perfect harmony between tradition and modernity – honored with the German Design Award in 2020.
Carbon made in Germany
The use of carbon fiber is a hallmark of GS Manufaktur – the custom-developed carbon exterior embodies their full expertise. Here, classic design meets cutting-edge materials engineering. The carbon body parts, such as fenders, front and rear aprons, front hood, side skirts, side panels, and rear spoiler – developed over more than 4,000 hours of labor, are lightweight, strong, and visually striking. They not only reduce weight but also add distinctive visual highlights. This makes every vehicle lighter, more agile, and unmistakably a GS964.
GS Frosted Silver
Every car from GS Manufaktur bears the distinct signature of its creators. This is especially evident in the custom-designed components made from solid aluminum, all designed and developed in-house. Their characteristic “GS Frosted Silver” finish – matte, refined, yet technical – is used exclusively by GS. It gives each vehicle a sense of technical precision and a unique aesthetic. That’s why every GS964 – just like its owner – remains one of a kind.
Body Variants
The 911 stands like no other for living tradition and passionate driving experience – whether as a Coupé, Targa, or Roadster. Three variants, one character: clear, emotional, and unmistakable. The Coupé delivers purist precision, the Roadster pure freedom, and the Targa an iconic blend of openness and structure. Each form is an expression of true driving culture – timeless, dynamic, and unique.

Interior - down to the smallest detail
The interior of every GS964 is individually and personally designed in collaboration with each customer, bringing any vision to life. Beyond its unique personalization, the entire interior meets the highest standards. By combining materials such as aluminum and Italian natural leather with the upholsterers’ decades of experience, the result is an interior of the highest caliber.
"Here, every wish is fulfilled"
GS Manufaktur is, in a sense, a dream workshop. For virtually every customer wish, the team finds the right solution. Whether it’s a custom paint job, special features, or unique technical solutions – the team goes above and beyond to bring each customer’s vision to life. The result is a vehicle that not only meets the highest standards but also reflects the personality of its owner.
Inspiration through passion
The inspiration for something truly unprecedented doesn’t just appear out of nowhere. It emerges from the everyday – in sketches, conversations, and deep engagement with technology, history, and materials. Those in search of the perfect design must think it through, feel it through, fight their way through it. The GS Manufaktur is your companion on that journey.
Gerhard Stefan and Philipp Göller draw their inspiration from a deep passion for the Porsche 911 and a fascination with timeless beauty. Every project begins with a vision – brought to life through the creativity, craftsmanship, and technical expertise of this father-and-son duo.
Restoration at GS level
In addition to using new components to perfect the driving dynamics of every GS, GS Manufaktur also restores all other systems. Because originality is irreplaceable. Through meticulous cleaning, surface treatment, and complete overhauls, as many parts as possible are returned to like-new condition. “For us, this approach is an expression of respect for the unique history of every Porsche 911.”
Engine Configurations
The three engine variants from GS Manufaktur range from a moderately tuned stock engine to a high-performance 4-liter powerplant. Each version delivers breathtaking sound, outstanding performance, and the trusted reliability of the 911. All of this is housed in a clean and factory-fresh engine bay.

The choice is yours
At GS Manufaktur, customization begins with the foundation. Customers can choose between the classic C2 or the powerful C4 – entirely based on their preferences and requirements. The choice between left-hand or right-hand drive is equally flexible. When it comes to the donor vehicle, maximum freedom is also offered: the customer can provide their own car, have one specially sourced, or select from the carefully curated inventory of the manufactory. This means that even the foundation of the project becomes a true one-of-a-kind – fully aligned with the customer’s personal vision.
Impressions of the restoration
Whether it’s the brakes, suspension, or exhaust system – the GS Manufaktur stands for handcrafted perfection in every detail. Every GS delivered is built with the aim of not just restoring the vehicle to its original condition, but surpassing it. That’s why only the very best is good enough for our “Apparat” – down to the smallest screw.
