Classic, Modern, or Evo? Finding Your Perfect Shoreline 911
At Shoreline 911, "standard" doesn't exist. Every commission we undertake is a dialogue between our engineers and the future owner. However, every great story needs a starting point.
To guide your journey, we have curated three distinct personalities for our bespoke builds: the GTR Classic, the GTR Modern, and the GTR Evo.
While every car is built on the same foundation of galvanized restoration and mechanical perfection, these three archetypes offer very different driving experiences and aesthetic statements. Which one speaks to you?
1. The GTR Classic: The Gentleman’s Tourer
The Vibe: Pure Nostalgia. Chrome. Heritage.
The Driver: You value understated elegance and the romance of the 1970s.
The GTR Classic is our love letter to the long-hood era. It captures the delicate, narrow-hipped beauty of the early 911s but hides the robust mechanicals of a 964 or 993 underneath.
Visually, this model is defined by its brightwork. Polished aluminum window frames, chrome horn grilles, and classic mirrors contrast beautifully against vintage paint codes like Slate Grey or Irish Green. Inside, you’ll find period-correct touches: basketweave or houndstooth inserts, thin-rimmed steering wheels, and analogue warmth.
The Drive: Tuned for "Fast Road" touring. The suspension is compliant enough for a weekend trip to the coast, soaking up B-road imperfections while retaining that signature Porsche feedback.
2. The GTR Modern: The Daily Driver, Perfected
The Vibe: OEM+. Contemporary. Sharp.
The Driver: You want the vintage silhouette, but with a sharper, more urban edge.
The GTR Modern takes the timeless shape of the 911 and cleans it up for the 21st century. This is the "de-chromed" look. Brightwork is replaced with body-color or satin black trim, and lighting is upgraded to high-output LED units that look at home in modern traffic.
This is often the choice for those who plan to use their Shoreline 911 as a true daily driver. It whispers rather than shouts. The aesthetic is smoother, more integrated, and purposeful—a car that looks as good parked in front of a modern architectural home as it does at a classic car meet.
The Drive: Tighter and more responsive. We often specify a slightly more aggressive damper setup here, bridging the gap between a comfortable cruiser and a sports car.
3. The GTR Evo: The Outlaw
The Vibe: Aggression. Motorsport. Adrenaline.
The Driver: You don't just want to arrive; you want to make an entrance.
The GTR Evo is where we let our hair down. Inspired by the "Outlaw" culture and race-bred RSRs of the past, the Evo is wider, lower, and meaner.
This build is characterized by aggressive aerodynamics, functional cooling ducts, and wider arches to accommodate significant rubber. Inside, the luxury remains, but the focus shifts to the driver: lightweight bucket seats, a stiffer chassis setup, and an exhaust note that barks.
The Drive: Visceral. This is the car for the early Sunday morning blast or the occasional track day. It is planted, direct, and incredibly communicative.
Don't Forget: The Targa Option
Crucially, the "Targa" is not just a separate model—it is a configuration that can be applied to any of the above personalities.
Whether you want the chrome roll-hoop of a Classic Targa or the blacked-out, stealth look of a Modern Targa, the open-top experience adds an extra sensory layer to the flat-six soundtrack.

Your Build Starts Here
You don't have to fit neatly into one box. You might want the body of a Classic with the suspension of an Evo. That is the beauty of a bespoke commission.
