Reinterpreting Air-Cooled Icons the Erbacher way

At Erbacher, the process does not begin with restoration.

It begins with reinterpretation.

Every project is built on the Porsche 964 platform, widely regarded as one of the purest expressions of the air cooled 911. But instead of preserving it as it was, each car is taken back to its foundation and rebuilt with a clear intention.

The goal is not to recreate the past.

It is to redefine it.


Each build starts with a complete disassembly down to the bare shell. Every component is removed, inspected, and evaluated. Nothing is assumed. Nothing is left untouched.

From there, the process becomes highly selective.

  • Structural elements are strengthened
  • Components are refined or replaced
  • Systems are re engineered where necessary

Every decision is made to enhance the car without losing what makes it original.

The result is a foundation that feels familiar, yet fundamentally improved.


The Erbacher approach is defined by clarity.

There is no over engineering for the sake of numbers.

No unnecessary complexity.

No compromises in execution.

Instead, each build is guided by a clear philosophy:

  • Respect the original character
  • Improve where it matters
  • Remove what is unnecessary

This balance between preservation and progression defines the outcome of every car.


Swiss craftsmanship is not used as a label.

It is applied in every detail.

From bodywork and mechanical components to interior materials and finishing, each element is handled with precision and care. Surfaces are refined, tolerances are controlled, and every component is selected with intention.

This level of detail is not visible at first glance.

But it defines how the car feels in every moment.


What makes an Erbacher build different is not a single component.

It is the combination of everything working together.

The car retains the emotional character of an air cooled 911 while delivering a more refined, more capable, and more consistent driving experience.

It feels authentic.

But elevated.


In the end, the result is not a restored classic.

It is a fully re engineered car with a clear identity.

Every line, every surface, every mechanical response is the outcome of deliberate decisions made throughout the process.

This is what defines an Erbacher build.

Not restoration.

Reinterpretation.
