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

What can justify rotary-swapping a classic Porsche 911?

While the owner of this classic doesn't say it out loud, this example started life as a 1966 Porshce 911 shell

Original parts can be hard to come by, so the owner went to town on the air-cooled classic

The build's highlight is the Mazda rotary engine that makes 480 hp on low boost

The engine works with a Porsche 915, manual transaxle and 930 drive shafts

Lots of 993 exterior bits, plus custom flared fenders give a more aggressive look to the 1966 911

Actually, the only original 1966 part is the front hood, and even that has been modified

Like the engine, the 911's sunroof, once belonged to a Mazda RX-7

The 18-inch SSR wheels hide modern disc brakes, where drums used to reside

With its tartan pattern on the seats, the interior is a mix of classic, air-cooled 911 and race car

Although street-driven, the rotary Porsche 911 is fully-prepped for the racetrack

Is the rotary 911 blasphemy or brilliance?

The Porsche 964 is one of the preferred platforms for reimagined, classic Porsche 911s

REEN Cars of Germany has done just that with this Guard's Red 964

They took the standard engine and replaced it with the flat-6 from the 997.1 GT3 RS

The M97.76 is one of the last Mezger engines. It makes 415 horsepower and 299 pound-feet of torque

The people at REEN Cars have optimized the engine's performance and peak power is now produced closer to the 8,200 RPM redline

This 964 still features the stock 5-speed manual, but with revised gear ratios

The REEN Porschce 964 RS GT is a subtle homage to the original, 1991 Porsche 964 RS N/ GT

Only 291 original 964 RS N/ GT cars were made and was the closest thing to a 964 GT3

The interior is, largely, original, with a few motorsport-inspired elements like bucket seats and MOMO steering wheel

REEN Cars is working on a similar treatment for the Porsche 993 chassis

The Speedster is one of the purest body styles of the Porsche 911

The Speedster was always meant to be a lightweight, open-top cruiser

The Speedster body style was introduced with the Porsche 356 back in 1948

The most distinctive feature of the Porsche Speedster is the steeply raked windshield and lack of convertible top

While the Speedster has existed across several generations of the 911, the 993 was not one of them

Officially, there was never a production variant of the 993 Speedster

But in 1995, Porsche built one for "Butzi" Porsche's 50th birthday

"Butzi" 993 Speedster was the only one that started life as a Speedster under Porsche

The only "true" 993 Speedster features a narrow body

The car's exterior is finished in Aventura Green

The 17-inch silver Carrera wheels complement the exterior paint

Inside, you get an RS interior with walnut finishes on the dash

At its heart lies a 3.6-liter flat-6, making 285 hp and 251 lb-ft

It was paired to a Tiptronic automatic transmission

To make the 993 Speedster, Porsche used parts from the 964 Speedster, of which 936 were built

A few other 993 Speedster conversions were done over the years, like Jerry Seinfeld's car, which started as a Carrera 4S Cabriolet

But "Butzi" Porsche's Aventura Green car remains the only 993 built as a Speedster from brand-new

California-based Signer Vehicle Design has been building resto-mod Porsches for over a decade

Singer chose the Porsche 964 as the base car for all its projects as it perfectly bridges the classic and modern traits of air-cooled 911s

Singer's first car is an epic remake of the original Porsche 911, from 1964

Singer's obsession with making the perfect classic 911 has resulted in the most exquisite automotive art. So far, Singer has produced 4 models in limited quantities

All Singer cars' powertrain are based on Mezger's last air-cooled engine

The Singer DLS - "Dynamic Lightweight Study" builds upon Singer's first model - the Classic.

The engine in the Singer DLS is an upgraded variant of the Singer Classic's 3.8-liter, air-cooled flat six

The naturally-aspirated boxer engine in the Singer DLS makes 503 hp instead of the Singer Classic's 350, making it the most powerful air-cooled Singer

At just 2,180 lbs, the 503-hp Singer DLS boasts a better power-to-weight ratio than a Bugatti Veyron

Singer's third car is a remake to the original 930 Turbo, which was dubbed the Widowmaker

The 3.8-liter flat-six is still air-cooled, but now features twin-turbochargers

Singer Turbo features electric wastegates to reduce turbo lag, which was a known feature on the original 930

Singer made two variants of the Turbo - one with 450 hp and a sportier,510-hp variant

Singer's most radical model aims to reimagine the 934/935 Porsche race car from the 1970s

All Singers, including the Turbo DLS, feature carbon-fiber bodies, designed from scratch to the smallest detail

The 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-six in the Singer Turbo DLS makes 700 hp

The Singer DLS Turbo features water-cooled cylinder heads, similar to the Porsche 959

Magnus Walker has a soft spot for air-cooled Porsches

The Poschephile says he likes his cars affordable, which means they don't, necessarily, need to be pristine examples

Walker acquired many of the cars in his collection for under $10,000

But his daily driver is something even he didn't expect to like at first

A high-mileage Porsche Turbo S sounds like a risky purchase, but not when it has been well-looked-after

Once a nearly $200,000 car, Magnus acquired this 2014 Turbo S daily driver for $60,000

The odometer shows 183,000 miles, most of which (159,000 miles) done by the original owner

The only visible sign of wear is the driver's seat, which really tells you Porsche 911s are built to last

The semi-usable back seats is where Magnus' dog, Willow, often, sits

The PDK transmission was changed at 120,000 miles, which cost the previous owner $30,000

This 991 Turbo S is Magnus' only Porsche that doesn't have a manual transmission

Swipe up to learn more about why he chose this modern-day Porsche as his daily driver.

With its naturally-aspirated 4.0-flat-six, the 992 GT3 RS sounds great out of the box

Youtuber NM2255 | Raw Car Sounds got to compare the two exhaust systems

You might think the Porsche 992 GT3 RS soundtrack can't get any crazier, but you'd be wrong

Two very different "bundles of snakes" from Akrapovic and Dundon Motorsport enhance the 911 GT3 RS performance and engine note

You get equal gains in peak horsepower from both exhaust kits, but different engine characteristics

With nearly 550 horsepower on tap, the 992 GT3 RS can hit 186 mph instead of the official 183

Akrapovic's exhaust results in a deeper growl, similar to classic 911s. You also see bigger gains in torque

Dundon Motorsport's exhaust results in a more racecar-like soundtrack

Swipe up to learn more about how these two exhausts from reputable companies change the characteristics of the Porsche 992 GT3 RS.
