Although this rally-spec Porsche 911 Carrera isn’t an official ‘Safari’ variant produced by the German car brand, watching it being built and driven is hugely satisfying.
The off-road story of this Carrera started when it arrived at Emotion Engineering in Newport Beach, California. From there, the sports coupe has been transformed into a punchy rally car with a competition-spec suspension system, reinforced chassis, and roll cage, plus a beefed-up 3.2-liter flat-six engine.
Rounding off the rally specifications meant fitting this 911 with a set of large off-road tires, skid plates, front push bar, roof rack, and off-road lamps. So, not only does it look the part, but it is actually right at home on precarious gravel paths.
Only those with a lot of money could ever think about transforming an air-cooled 911 into an off-road toy, but we’re glad this owner did just that.
