WHY CARS AND GUITARS?
Some boys grow up with guitars. Others with dream cars. I grew up with both.
"I still remember standing next to my father at a car show, staring wide-eyed at a bright red BMW M1 – design, power, presence. At home, I raced a white Porsche 911 Turbo with Fuchs rims on my Carrera track. Those machines felt like untouchable dreams.
But guitars? I could get closer.
I played them, repaired them, and eventually built them.
Somewhere along the road, I realized: electric guitars and iconic cars speak the same emotional language – shape, feel, sound and identity.
This project is like a full circle moment for me, both worlds come together in a great way!"
THE INSPIRATION: PORSCHE 930 TURBO
The project: The Widowmaker
Project publication at an exclusive Porsche Network event at Porsche Zentrum Kaiserslautern, Germany, 2026
"This Cars & Guitars project is inspired by my favorite childhood slot car: The Widowmaker. Back then, it was simply the fastest slot car I owned, winning most of my races.
Only decades later did I understand that it represented one of the most legendary Porsches of all time. After finally driving the original on a racetrack, I understood not only its looks, but its attitude.
Built without compromise, it demands highest focus, it doesn’t forgive hesitation. It rewards courage, precision, and intuition. Like the legendary machine that inspired it, this instrument was never meant for everyone.
It exists for those who understand that true freedom always comes with risk."
TAKE A LOOK AT THE DETAILS
Get some inspiration from "The Widowmaker"
TURBO 930 in Solid Silver
The fingerboard features a finely crafted, custom-made “TURBO 930” inlay, reproducing the original lettering in solid silver. Seamlessly integrated into the fingerboard, the inlay adds a distinctive detail without affecting the instrument’s playability.
Rear Spoiler
The iconic rear spoiler of the 930 Turbo has been translated into the guitar’s body design, creating a comfortable and secure resting point for the player’s arm. Even at high playing speeds, it provides stability and effortless control of the instrument.
Tire control knobs
The characteristic 930 Turbo tires have been transformed into unique control knobs, produced in exceptionally detailed, high-quality 3D printing. Their realistic tread provides plenty of grip – just be careful not to spin out!
Identification Number
Every Jens Ritter instrument carries its own unique identification number. For The Widowmaker, the identification number of the original Porsche 930 Turbo has also been immortalized on the instrument, creating a direct connection between car and guitar.
Original Porsche logo of this specific car
The logo has been carefully engraved into the tuning keys, adding a refined ornamental detail to the otherwise clean and minimalist instrument. A subtle reference to the original, revealed only on closer inspection.
