The 996 was misunderstood.

Fried-egg headlights. Wrong era. Forgotten.

We didn't fix it.

We revealed it.

The Maker

One car at a time.

NEUNSECHS is a one-person workshop. No factory floor, no marketing department. Just a 996 on a lift, a notebook full of intentions, and 8–12 weeks of focused work per build.

Background in mechanical engineering. Fifteen years driving air-cooled and water-cooled 911s. One conviction: the 996 is the most honest 911 ever made — it just needed someone willing to say so.

Raw stance

Lowered, widened, purposeful.

Analog feel

Every input, unfiltered.

Minimal intervention

Maximum impact.

Philosophy

Less is everything.

Keep the architecture

The 996 silhouette is sacred. We honor it.

Enhance, don't replace

Subtle refinements. Nothing gratuitous.

Driving feel first

Every change serves the connection between driver and road.

Reject over-perfection

Character over clinical. Soul over spec sheet.

The Cockpit

Where everything happens.

The driver's seat is sacred. Every surface, every input, every readout — chosen for feel, not spec.

FAQ

What you're probably asking.

No. €49,900 is the build price (labour + parts + finishes). A clean 996 Carrera donor typically runs €18–25k. We can source one for you, or you bring your own — your call.

8 to 12 weeks of active workshop time, once the donor is acquired and on the lift. We deliver one car at a time — no parallel builds.

In a small workshop in Europe. Address shared after deposit. You're invited to visit during the build — we encourage it.

Yes. Every modification keeps the car within EU homologation. We provide certificates for suspension, exhaust, and any structural work.

12 months on the build itself (workmanship + parts we install). The base car retains whatever history it came with — we'll be transparent about it during sourcing.

Within reason. We offer 3 curated combinations because constraint produces character. Bespoke requests are quoted case-by-case — but expect us to push back if it dilutes the project.

30% on signature (slot reservation), 40% at start of build, 30% on delivery. Donor purchase is invoiced separately and at-cost.
