Porsche Restomod by Machine Revival
A modern interpretation of the Porsche 911 icon
A Porsche Restomod is more than a rebuilt classic. It is the meeting point between heritage and modern engineering, where the timeless lines of an air‑cooled Porsche 911 are enhanced by contemporary technology, refined performance and meticulous craftsmanship.
At Machine Revival, the Restomod Porsche philosophy is rooted in respect: respect for the original car, for its mechanical soul, and for the driving sensations that made the 911 an icon. More than a technical exercise, every Porsche Restomod we create is conceived as a machine with a story — one that honors its past while being designed to write a new chapter on the road. Each project is conceived as a bespoke creation, built entirely in France, designed to be driven, felt and experienced.
What is a Porsche Restomod?
The term Restomod combines restoration and modification. Applied to Porsche, it defines a process that preserves the identity of a classic 911 while carefully upgrading its components to modern standards.
A Restomod Porsche is not a museum piece. It is a living machine, offering:
- Improved reliability and drivability
- Enhanced performance and chassis balance
- Modernized braking, suspension and electronics
- A refined interior combining classic design and contemporary comfort
The goal is simple: to elevate the Porsche 911 without erasing its history.
Our vision of the 911 Restomod
At Machine Revival, every 911 Restomod begins with a clear intention: to create a car that feels authentic on the road. Our method is built on dialogue. We do not simply build the car you ask for — we take the time to understand how you drive, what you seek behind the wheel, and what the machine must express. From this exchange emerges the Porsche Restomod you truly need.
We focus on air‑cooled generations, with a particular expertise on the Porsche 964 Restomod, widely regarded as the perfect foundation for a modern interpretation of the 911. Its mechanical purity, combined with its structural evolution, allows us to push performance and precision while maintaining the unmistakable character of a classic Porsche.
Each build is guided by balance — between power and control, aesthetics and function, emotion and engineering.
Founded in 2013, we’ve spent more
than a decade creating unique
machines for unique people.Our cars are one of one. They are the
embodiment of an intangible concept,
expressed through the artistic vision
and engineering talent of our atelier.
Craftsmanship and engineering, entirely in‑house
Machine Revival operates as a fully integrated Porsche Restomod workshop in France, where art and engineering coexist under one roof. Designers, engineers, body craftsmen, composite specialists, engine builders and interior artisans work side by side, allowing each Porsche Restomod to be shaped with absolute coherence, from concept to final assembly. All stages of development are handled internally:
- Design and styling
- Bodywork and composite fabrication
- Chassis setup and suspension tuning
- Engine development and drivetrain optimization
- Interior craftsmanship and bespoke finishes
This approach guarantees absolute coherence throughout the project and allows every detail to serve the overall driving experience.
Signature Porsche Restomod projects
Our Signature vehicles embody our philosophy of the Restomod Porsche. Each one is conceived as a narrative object — a machine born from a place, an idea or a sensation — designed not only to be driven, but to carry meaning through time. Each model explores a distinct interpretation of the 911, shaped by a strong narrative, a defined use case, and an uncompromising level of execution.
Signature projects such as MR35 Iseye, a Porsche 964 Restomod inspired by altitude, silence and winding mountain roads, illustrate the contemplative side of our work.
For those seeking uncompromising performance, MR34 Atra, a Porsche 930 Turbo Restomod, pushes the boundaries with exceptional power and a radical approach to the legendary turbocharged 911.
With MR32 Tsukuyomi, Machine Revival embraces a more performance-driven vision of the Restomod Porsche, combining a supercharged engine with a distinctly sporty stance and sharper dynamics.
MR31 Ocean explores a more classical interpretation of the 911 Restomod, featuring narrow bodywork and an exceptional interior crafted in Berluti leather, where traditional elegance meets contemporary execution.
These vehicles are not replicated. Each Porsche Restomod by Machine Revival is unique, tailored to its owner, and designed to stand apart.
Cars are more than the engine, breaks,
gears and seats. They represent a time
in our lives, the way we live and the
things we value.Machine Revival builds cars that bring
these intangibles to life.
