In 1993, the FIA introduced the GT1 race class for Le Mans, marking the beginning of one of the most iconic racing periods in the sport’s history. To date, more than 15 manufacturers have built cars for the GT1 class, creating a legacy of extraordinary competition and innovation. These homologation cars often had compromised road performance as they were built to allow manufacturers to optimise them for track use.
This is designed specifically for the road.
Proudly introducing the GT ONE.
The GT ONE was born through a conversation between Richard Tuthill and client Elliot Ross, the film producer and car collector.
Tuthill will build 22 production examples with each vehicle requiring 3,500 build-hours of meticulous
construction to create each client’s personalised car.
Styling and aesthetically designed by California based designer Florian Flatau, the GT ONE features a full
carbon fibre body which is powered by a 4.0-litre, 6-cylinder engine; available in both naturally aspirated and forced induction versions. The naturally aspirated engine option will produce in excess of 500 BHP, inspired by our high-revving 911K engine, while the forced induction offering will produce over 600 BHP.
Tuthill also offers the clients a choice of transmissions; a 7-speed dual-clutch option, as fitted to the car on show at The Quail, or a manual equivalent. Additionally, the GT ONE is equipped with twin wishbone front and rear suspension, carbon ceramic brakes, and bespoke brake calipers, achieving a weight of 1,200 kg.
Cutting-edge engineering and exceptional materials are used throughout the car. The underbody and surface aero performance have been optimised through CFD analysis to enhance performance. The car boasts a carbon fibre front clam, rear clam, and a full carbon roof with an integrated air intake. Within the bodywork is an FIA based roll over protection system (ROPS) and full carbon fibre doors with side impact bars. An optional aero package may be developed for track use.
Tuthill remains dedicated to pushing the boundaries of automotive excellence, combining decades of real-world driving experience with innovative engineering.
We are delighted to partner with Michelin, and run the vehicle on the world-renowned Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S tyre. The Pilot Sport 4 S sets the benchmark for all-round performance, feel, and handling; a truly iconic tyre with uncompromised character, just like the GT ONE.
“It has been an absolute pleasure to work with this amazing bunch of people at Wardington who continue to have such passion to create these amazing cars. At the heart of this piece of artwork is of course the constant pursuit of mechanical excellence. We have taken inspiration from all that we have done in the past and have been inspired by what others have done before us and continue to do. As usual, I sincerely hope those who wish to own one of these will also wish to drive them as often as they can and create memories that will last a lifetime.
The FIA GT1 class enabled manufacturers to create stunning race cars. We have taken the best bits but focused on producing a wonderful road car… I hope you can all enjoy it with us!” – Richard Tuthill.
“I would never have imagined that I would one day be entrusted with the freedom, in this environment, to revisit the spirit of an automotive era like that of the FIA GT1 class; it’s a very deep and personal experience for me. I hope this project resonates with you on an emotional level, sparks a unique dialogue, allows you to travel in time, and ultimately enriches your personal collection as the first investment in a collectible series I aim to establish over the years to come.
Thank you – to every soul who helped bringing this alive .” – Florian Flatau (Design Director)

About Florian Flatau:
A Dipl.-Designer with nearly 20 years of car design experience, crafting advanced full vehicle concepts and developing brand experiences for a variety of premium and luxury brands. His diverse portfolio spans everything from utility vehicles and hyper cars to whole product-platform portfolios, motorbikes, EV startups, personal autonomous vehicles, and VTOLs—often leaving people questioning the breadth of his creativity.
Since 2019, Florian has stepped away from the OEM world, shifting his focus to what he calls “up-cycling.” He creates automotive sculptures that transport viewers to a parallel universe where “the past meets the present while shaping the future” of car culture.
His journey began in 1994 when his father introduced him to car design through a week-long work experience at Porsche’s CAS/CAD team in Weissach. “There, I was granted access to the holy grail, as they called it—their
Design Studio.” The impact of this experience on his development as a multidisciplinary creative over the
following decades is hard to imagine. In the subsequent years, Florian’s passion lay in creating Urban
Aesthetics. “I was anti-car and anti-status symbol for a few years. It wasn’t until I rediscovered, in 2003, the realistic opportunity to become a designer/car designer—with a vision of making a positive impact on societal development through design—that I was set.” Amidst the rebellious spirit of all creatives, Flo embodies it profoundly.
Now, 30 years later, FLAT is the pseudonym he adopts while creating art cars.
