RECONSTRUCTED

This 964 Turbo “reconstruction” lives at the intersection of the past and future.

Smirk , the owner of Goopi.co doesn’t see his label as a simple clothing brand. Instead, he views it as “a system of thinking” that uses garments and machines as mediums to express a perspective. “It’s about structure, restraint, and emotional distance,” he says.

That mindset shaped his first Porsche 911 (964). To him, the project was not about modification or even restoration, but rather “reconstruction.” Visually, the car carries a factory Turbo widebody. He kept the exterior disciplined to avoid the “exaggerated” look of modern builds. A lightweight ducktail, RS-style intake, and 935-inspired exhaust keep the car grounded. The color is a “heavier, more muted” interpretation of Nardo Gray, intended to feel timeless rather than trendy.

Inside the cabin, Smirk brings further attention to contrast. Schottenkaro fabric references mid-70s models, paired with navy leather and orange accents. The interior was rebuilt to “feel like it belongs to another atmosphere.” Smirk is not interested in making things that are easily understood. “We’re not trying to belong anywhere,” he says. “That gives us freedom.”

Mechanically, the car is fully reworked with KW V3 suspension and a rebuilt gearbox to make the car feel “tight and honest.” Smirk prefers the raw conversation of older generations over modern technology. “It’s not just about speed or performance,” he says. “It’s about how much of the machine you’re still allowed to feel.”

The final result is not a car that is overly loud or extreme, but rather one that features a refined signature aesthetic. “It’s about editing,” he says. “Knowing what to remove, not just what to add.”
