Coperche 811 GT-K: A Baby 991 RSR?
A Kei-car on steroids, here's what you need to know about this bizarre 911-inspired creation
I’ve always been fascinated by the sheer versatility of Japanese Kei cars. They’re not that fun to drive, and I know this because believe it or not, I actually learned how to drive on one of these pint-sized vehicles, born out of Japan’s strict regulations on size and engine displacement. The Daihatsu Copen, for instance, is a kei car that embodies this spirit perfectly. Yes it’s tiny, and yes it’s cute, but it’s also utterly impractical for anything other than zipping through narrow city streets. But what happens when you take this Kei car and slap on the aggressive styling of a Porsche 911 RSR? Enter StanceMagic’s Coperche 811 GT-K showcased at the recently held 2025, Tokyo Auto Show, a creation which in my opinion is equal parts ridiculous and brilliant at the same time.
Kalmar 9x9's Epic 1800+ Mile Transcontinental European Dash Is Proof Of Its Real World Endurance And Capability
Dubbed the world's first retro hypercar, founder Jan Kalmar puts his latest creation through its paces in an epic road trip from Milan to London
There is no shortage of companies that reimagine Porsche 911s and the automotive scene today, seems to be saturated but in a good way, with car companies that focus on tastefully resto-modding classic Porsches and giving them a unique twist. Names like Singer, Theon, Gunther Werks, REEN, and Gembala are a handful, that come to mind. But how to stand out amidst so many? Dutch company, Kalmar Automotive may have the answer. In the summer of 2024, the company unveiled its most groundbreaking project yet – the Kalmar 9x9.
RWB Porsche: Top 10 Creations Of Akira Nakai
Subtle is not a word Nakai San knows and these 10 RWB Porsche builds are pure cargasm
If you are a Porsche fan, you have probably come across the name RWB. It stands for RAUH Welt Begriff, which translates to Rough World Concept in German. "Rough” is exactly the word some would use to describe Nakai San’s work on Porsche 911s, but while divisive, his method of modifying the popular German sports car is what makes his builds truly unique. There are plenty of companies that delve into custom Porsche 911 builds, but RWB’s work stands out as the most outrageous wide-body Porsche 911s, made by the Japanese artisan.
Slant Nose Porsche: History Of The Flachbau
Derived from motorsport, the Porsche slant nose gave the 930 Turbo more than just unique looks and here's how it came to be
The 1980s was a truly crazy time. On the one hand, we’d just experienced the oil crisis, which had led to some horrendous cars and ruined previously great ones. On the other – it was a time of innovation, futuristic styling, and some very radical design decisions. Pronounced fender flares, side gills, and pop-up headlights were the norm in those crazy days. When it comes to the Porsche 911, one design stands out as the definitive 1980s styling element – the Flachbau which translates to Slant Nose or flat nose in German.
Here's Why A Miles Works Conversion Is The Best Thing You Can Do To A Porsche 986 Boxster
Find out how this epic modern homage inspired by aftermarket Porsche tuners transforms the humble 986 Boxster into a mid-engine exotic
Porsche’s 986 Boxster was a model that until recently, did not get the recognition it deserved. It gave Porsche enthusiasts a more affordable, mid-engine sports car that offered 80 percent of the 911 performance at around half the retail price when both cars were new. The entry-level Porsche from the 1990s came with a downside though – it wasn’t the quickest. While even the base-model 986 Boxster can smoke a Mazda Miata from the same period, automatic variants were especially strangled, with 0 to 60 mph times being 7.2 seconds.
MANHART Cayenne CRT 800: Turning Porsche's Big SUV Into A Rocket
Hold off on that Porsche Cayenne Turbo E Hybrid if you want a souped up Cayenne, because MANHART may have something better for you
The Porsche Cayenne is an overachiever in a multitude of fields. The first generation of Porsche’s SUV was instrumental in keeping the sports car manufacturer afloat while the current-generation Cayenne is about as close as you can get to a sports car while still offering some off-road capabilities. Regardless of the model and platform, Porsches have mostly offered a great baseline for tuners to extract even more performance. There are more than a few notable names in the business, but few can match the long-term experience as well as MANHART.
Billionaire Perks Zuckerberg-Style: Porsche 911 GT3 + Cayenne Turbo GT Minivan = Perfect His & Hers Cars
Before it can exist in the Metaverse, Zuck teamed up with West Coast Customs to build a custom stretch Cayenne Turbo GT for the real world
From your average Joe on Pimp My Ride to Celebrity builds, I’ve seen a fair share of some truly outrageous creations from West Coast Customs over the past two decades. But this one is special. Why? Because it involves a Billionaire, yes, with a capital ’B’. But this is not just any Billionaire, but Meta CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, yes the same dude who runs the likes of some of the biggest tech / social media companies on the planet in the form of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. Zuckerberg along with his wife Pricilla Chan, posted some pictures of a stretched Porsche Cayenne Turbo GT and a Porsche 911 GT3, on the very platforms that Mark runs, indicating that he may be a Porsche guy.
KAMM 912c: A Restomod That's So Good, Porsche Should Be Jealous
Picking up where the classic air-cooled 912 left off, this feather-light Porsche restomod is proof that four cylinders is more than up to the job
The Porsche 912 was the original ’affordable Porsche’, - where customers essentially got a 911 with the economical engine from the Porsche 356 SC. It was one of the first models to open the door to Porsche ownership to a wider range of customers. The 912 quickly garnered a cult following within the Porsche community, proving that you do not need crazy power to have a fun driving experience. Now a restomod firm from Budapest, Hungary KAMManufaktur is reintroducing the 912l in a modern avatar and calling it the 912c, where the ’c’ stands for carbon fiber, a go-to material of choice for shedding weight while not compromising rigidity and this one has a lot, as you’re about to find out.
Bizzare Porsche 944 6x6 Targa Pickup Was Someone's 26-Year Project Car
A 944 unlike anything else out there, this one-off creation that took 2,500 man hours to complete, can now be yours
When you hear the word Porsche, a truck is probably the last thing that comes to mind. But that’s exactly what we have here. A custom Targa pickup based on a 1987 Porsche 944 coupe. Currently based in Germany, this strange creation is now up for sale on Elfersport, and here’s what you need to know about it.
The Rezvani RR1: Transform Your Humble 992 Into A Motorsport-Inspired 935
With only 50 units destined for this conversion, find why this retro-futuristic interpretation of the 911 is one that should win over most Porsche Purists
Rezvani Motors, traditionally known for its armored vehicle conversions has ventured into the classic sports car market with the launch of its Rezvani RR1. When I first saw the RR1, my inner child went ballistic, because; a modern take on the iconic Porsche 935 race car of the 1970s? Sign me up! Now, this isn’t the first time we’ve seen a modern-day makeover of the 935, a.k.a, the Mobydick. Porsche themselves unveiled their version, based on the 991 chassis, back in 2019, limited to 77 examples.
Russel Built Fab Porsche 911 Baja: When The 911 Dakar Isn't Extreme Enough For You
Sporting some pretty extreme mods, find out what makes this beefed-up 964 Baja raider, a potent go-anywhere Porsche 911
People just love doing stuff on the Porsche 911 platform. It seems every day, a new, reimagined version of the rear-engine sports car pops up, and nine times out of 10, they’re mostly good. The 911 lineup is the most versatile of any sports car ever produced, and there is a variant for every need. With the platform being as versatile as it is, you would think Porsche themselves would be giving you the craziest iterations of the 911, but no. Another neat example of a heavily modified 911 comes from a California-based Russel Built Fabrication. The company started out in the 2000s, by maintaining movie prop cars, but eventually evolved into a fully-fledged custom shop. Russel Built Fab’s latest and most ambitious project is the Porsche 911 Baja, which takes an already-capable platform and gives it the ability to jump over sand dunes at seriously impressive speeds. While this is not the company’s first off-road 911 build, it is, by far, the most extreme that I have ever seen. Here’s what makes it tick.
Celestial Jade Taycan Turbo S: Porsche's Most Stunning Taycan Yet
Having taken over a year to conceive as part of the Porsche Sonderwunsh Program, this two-tone Taycan is a bespoke creation that should hold its value
Porsche’s second top model for the Taycan EV, the Turbo S, is nothing short of a performance powerhouse. We’re talking 938 horsepower and 818 pound-feet of max torque, along with loads of sportier touches, including standard carbon ceramic brakes (you need these beefier brakes to tame this beast), standard 21-inch wheels, rear-axle steering, and a boatload of carbon fiber trim.
Stealth Attack: The 911 Stinger GTR Stealth Edition Is A Carbon-Clad 992 Turbo S You Don't Want To Mess With
Conceived by TopCar Design, the likelihood of spotting this $700k+ beast is highly unlikely, since only 7 examples exist
The 911 Turbo S may not be one of the world’s most beautiful cars, but it does have a timeless appeal, and if you are lucky enough to have one in your garage, you probably spend a lot of time just admiring it. However, if you ever feel like Porsche’s vibrant PTS colors do not offer the individuality you are looking for, this is where TopCar design’s Stinger GTR comes into the picture. TopCar Design has always been about pushing the boundaries when it comes to crafting custom Porsche body kits and the Stinger GTR is a spectacular manifestation of their unique creative process.
Fifteen Eleven 914: A Restomod With The Heart Of A Cayman
With modern-embellishments, this carbon-clad 400 HP, '70s throwback is a showcase of what the 914 should have always been
Ben Mellors, M.D. of Fifteen Eleven Design, based out of the U.K. decided to do something completely different from the rest of the Porsche restomod world. While most shops are obsessed with building the next crazy iteration of the 911, Ben decided to create a modern redesign of the lesser-loved 914 instead. The result is a compact retro sportscar that looks like it was designed in the modern era, with the performance to match. It might not appeal to everyone, but it ticks all my boxes. The only parts retained from the donor car are the A and B pillars and the floor.
Big Thrills In A Small Package: Can You Resist This 1970 Carrera RS 3.0-Style Go-Kart?
Sitting somewhere between a scale model and the real thing, here is a Carrera RS that won't break the bank
As a scale model car collector, I continue to yearn to buy a miniature version of some of my favorite rides. So when I saw this go-kart, I knew I had to investigate. It is built by Little Roadsters and designed to resemble a 1970s Porsche 911 cabriolet in the style of a 3.0 Carrera RS. There’s something undeniably charming about driving around in a scaled-down version of a legendary vehicle. It’s like stepping into a time machine but without the time travel.
