German tuner, Friedrich Performance Manufaktur, uses upgrades to turn the Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT into a 1,000-horsepower monster

The V-8 remains almost the same, aside from the new turbochargers

The FPM kit also includes larger intercoolers, air intakes, and 76mm downpipes, along with a software recallibration

The modifications allow for a power-to-weight ratio of around 444.6 horsepower per ton

Even stock, the non-hybrid Cayenne Turbo GT boasts better power-to-weight ratio than the more powerful Turbo E Hybrid

The FPM treatment also includes 21-inch wheels, which can be bougt separately

Clients can also opt for a new suspension calibration for a lower ride height

Aside from the wheels and suspension tweaks, FPM has left the exterior alone

Even nature itself couldn't stop this 911 EV race car from happening

Chris from Ruffian Cars joined forces with Electric GT to create this obscene track monster

The race-tuned chassis was already made to handle the extra power, so an EV conversion was a no-brainer

The ultra-wide body is done by John James Racing, and there are a few other renowned names involved in the project

Despite featuring a Tesla powertrain, the car tips the scales at just 2,800 lbs

That's because most of the body has been redone in fiberglass

450 hp and 332 lb-ft go to the rear wheels through 17-inch wheels, wrapped in slick tires

The Tesla drivetrain required some clever engineering to make the 911 handle predictably

In true 911 tradition, the e-motor is mounted at the rear. The battery pack is separated for better weight distrobution

Speaking of weight distribution, it's 28/62, which is similar to a stock Porsche 930

The race car theme continues inside the stripped-down interior

The final look of the car includes ducktail delete and sealed-off front air intake

In certain markets, the Porsche 991 cost 78 percent more than the 981

And yet, beyond the different configuration, these cars are surprisingly similar

Both models are underpinned by the same 9x1 platform, with 2/3 of the underpinnings being completely identical

The engine in the 981 is turned 180 degrees compared to the 911

The MA1 engine is de-tuned for the 981 Boxster S, but ultimately, identical to the 991 Carrera

The dashboards of both Porsche sports cars are equal in lenght

All the switchgear and electronics are identical, aside from the gauge cluster, which is in minimized format for the 981

Both vehicles feature identical McPherson suspension in the front, but the multi-link rear setup is different

Despite similar developmental costs and the 911 being more expensive, it is the more profitable model

This low-key resto-mod could be the ultimate, track-ready classic 911

This 1972 Porsche started life as a race car and hits the Nurburgring with all the might and grace of an air-cooled 911

The classically-correct Fuchs wheels retain the factory, 15-inch size, but are wrapped in modern, Nankang CR-S rubber

A 24.6-gallon fuel tank ensures longer track sessions and greater range

The original interior has been refurbished in Vintage Black leather

Despite being a track weapon, this 1972 Porsche 911 features a full interior

The only hint of modernity is the short-shifter. Behind it, sits the handbrake, flanked by the manual choke and heater control

RS-style leather straps serve as door handles to keep the weight at barely 2,330 lbs

The car still features the original, 5-gauge instrument cluster

The original, 2.3-liter engine has vacated the spot in favor of a modified, 3.4-liter unit

The new engine is still air-cooled and carburated. It packs nearly 300 horses and apparently, a very wide power band

A number of plaques in the engine bay give essential information about the classic 911

Only 1972 cars featured an oil-reservoir and oil-filler mounted in front of the rear axle, for better weight distribution

With a 911 Dakar costing a pretty penny in the collector car market, we explore three worthy alternatives

Elephant Designs do comprehensive Safari conversions for classic G-body 911s

The California-based company's Safari kit includes a 4-inch suspension lift, turning any 911 G body into a proper homage to the 953 Dakar

Matt Farah's example recently listed his 911 Safari for $300,000, but the price depends on what the customer wants

Elephant Racing also adds Braid wheels, wrapped in off-road tires and skid plates all around

Russel Built Fab is another California-based company modifying classic 911s

The company's latest build is the Safari Sportsman, which is based on a 964 Turbo

The Baja 500 race suspension allows for 10 inches of suspension travel

The modified 964 also features a slightly longer wheelbase than the standard car

A roll-cage compliments the externally-mounted, carbon-fiber roof rack that carries the spare, Toyo all-terrain tire

The price for Russeb Built Fab's 964 Safari Sportsman conversion costs $135,000 minus the donor car

Five Nine Design's vision of a 992 Dakar is based on a 992.1 Carrera 2

The build includes a coil-over suspension that gets you ground clearance similar to the 992 Dakar's 7.52 inches

Aside from the obligatory off-road accessories, performance has been bumped through a new software, air-intakes, and exhaust

The price for these 992 builds depends solely on the desire to own one - the last one was auctioned for $138,000

The second-generation Mercedes AMG GT coupe openly throws the gauntlet at the 911 Turbo S

AMG's new sports coupe features a powerful PHEV powertrain in its range-topping trim

The GT63 S E Performance still relies on a twin-turbo V-8, but now, it's backed by an e-motor for a total system output of 816 hp

The combined torque of the hybrid powerplant is also impressive - 1,047 lb-ft

However, the GT63 S E Performance pays the ultimate price. At over 4,600 pounds, it's much heavier than the heaviest 911

But that doesn't stop the Mercedes from blasting to 60 mph in 2.7 seconds

The GT63 PHEV is also capable of driving almost 8.1 miles on electric power alone

While you can charge the 6.1 kWh battery through an AC charger, it's best to let the car recuperate lost energy while driving

The AMG GT63 interior is heavily-digitalized and features a 2+2 layout like in the AMG SL

The FR layout and hatchback tailgate make the AMG GT63 the most practical coupe. It boasts 19.85 cubic feet of cargo space

Official pricing for the AMG GT63 S E Performance is expected to be around the $200,000

Swipe up to find out what makes AMG's hybrid coupe a worthy alternative to the 911 Turbo S

So you want a 992 Dakar, but don't want to pay the steep price? The guys at Five Nine Design have a solution

The Florida-based company has made a bunch of 991 and 992 Safari conversions that rival the Dakar in terms of off-road capabilities

This one started life as a 2021 992 Carrera, finished in Pure White. The company is working on a few more similar 992 Safari conversions

The iconic ducktail rear spoiler is one of the must-have exterior upgrades

The 18-inch wheels corm from Rotiform and are wrapped in all-terrain Toyo tires

The valved coil-over suspension gives the 911 much needed ground clearance

The luxurious and functional 992 interior remains largely unchanged

But it now features rubber floormats and green "Offroad" accents

The 992 Safari gets new exhaust, engine software, and air filters for a slight bump in power

So the 3.0-liter, twin-turbo boxer engine is expected to make a lot more than the conservative 380 hp Porsche claims

A real bargain: this 911 Safari went under the hammer for $138,000 - a fraction of the Dakar's price tag

Swipe up to learn more about this bargain 911 Safari by Five Nine Design, and whether you should get one instead of a 992 Dakar

When it comes to attainable German convertibles, you currently only have two choices

The 718 Boxster starts at $74,900, making it the most affordable Porsche sports car

However, there is another German Roadster that might offer a bigger bang for the buck

The BMW Z4 M40 Roadster costs similar money to the entry-level 718 Boxster

The base-model 718 Boxster offers a 2.0-liter flat-four engine producing 296 hp and 280 lb-ft

The BMW Z4 M40i packs one of the most tuner-friendly inline-six engines - the B58

It packs 382 hp and 369 lb-ft, but apparently, these numbers are underreported

The six-cylinder Z4 M40i also starts at $66,450

Porsche's 718 retaliates by being over 500 pounds lighter and more agile than the Z4

However, the base Porsche Boxster cannot be had with a manual

The 718's PDK transmission is one of the best DCT automatics in the business, and contributes to a 4.5-second 0-60 mph time

The ZF 8-speed in the Z4 is one of the best traditional automatics, but you can also opt for a 6-speed manual

Both Lamborghini and Porsche now offer electrified SUVs

For 2024, the Lamborghini Urus has embraced electrification and has become a mighty PHEV

It revolves around the same engine features in the Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid's Plug-in hybrid setup

The Urus S E Hybrid is expected to cost almost twice as much as the Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid's $158k MSRP

The difference in performance doesn't seem to be anywhere near twice the Cayenne's sticker price

The Cayenne is down on power, but has a similar range to the Urus' 37

Urus S E Hybrid has a slightly better towing capacity - 7,000 pounds vs 6,600 for the Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid

The range-topping, hybrid Cayenne can be had in two body styles - a traditional SUV or an SUV coupe

Both hybrid SUVs pack a 12.3-inch infotainment screen wth wireless smartphone connectivity as standard

The Urus'cockpit feels more special and comes standard with a 21-inch Premium sound system, which is optional on the Cayenne

Negligible difference - Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid takes 3.5 seconds to 60 mph - 0.3 slower than the Urus SE Hybrid

The hybrid Urus also tops the PHEV Cayenne in terms of top speed 194 mph vs 183

Both SUVs pack 701 pound-feet of torque, but the Cayenne makes it from just 900 RPM

The hybrid Urus SE packs 789 hp, which is 60 more than the Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid

The optional rear-axle steering comes reduces the Cayenne's turning circle by around three feet

Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control is a tricky system that makes the big SUV feel light on its feet

Every SUV should have roof rails for that increased versatility. The roof can hold up to 220 lbs of load

The off-road package gives more underbody protection and works best with the adaptive air suspension, allowing for up to 9.6 inches of ground clearance

The optional two-hitch package is an inexpensive option that showcases the Cayenne's versatility

Porsche's HD Matrix LED headlights are measurably better in every way compared to the standard units

The thermally and noise-insulated glass is among the more affordable options worth getting

The 4-zone climate control is a feature that should be standard on a luxury SUV like the Porsche Cayenne

Porsche's air-quality system is a no-brainer and the best value-for-money options

Porsche InnoDrive greatly enhances the capabilities of the Adaptive Cruise Control. Swipe up to find out pricing of these options.
