Porsche 911 - Storyboards - page 156

California-based Russel Built Fab has spared no expense in building the ultimate, all-terrain 911

The base car for the Baja prototype is a 1991 Porsche 964

The company's innovative suspension utilizes most of the original factory mounting points

The coil-over setup allows for 12 inches of front suspension travel and 13.5 inches of rear suspension travel - substantially more than the 992 Dakar's 7.5 inches

Russel Built Fab has increased the wheelbase of the Baja 911 by 3.0 inches for a very specific reason

The Baja 911 is a whopping 14 inches wider than a stock Porsche 964

The flat-6 engine is still air-cooled, but everything has been modified and beefed-up

The now-3.8-liter boxer engine develops 365 horsepower and 310 pound-feet of torque

Power goes to the rear wheels or, optionally, both axles. It depends on the donor car and customer preferences

The new fiberglass body is one of the reasons why the Baja 911 shaves 400 pounds off the 964's weight

The stripped interior still features a classic 911 dashboard, with added Alcantara inserts

The driver looks at a race-spec digital instrument cluster, giving all essential info

The price? It starts from $380,000, which compared to other 911 Safari builds, is a bargain

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

Porsche first explored the concept of a wagon with the 928-4 concept car

I stumbled upon a 996-inspired wagon made with A.I. The wagon's design is impressive, with a unique glasshouse and wide rear end

The cargo space on the render though, appears to be similar to an Impreza Wagon. compared to boxier options like a Volvo V70R from that time

In the early 2000s, a sporty wagon would have been a desirable option for a middle-aged dad with a lead foot

Performance SUVs weren't around as the Cayenne was yet to make its debut, and choices for practical performance wagons were limited.

While Japanese automakers dominated the practical performance wagon market you had a few sporty options from European automakers

BMW E39 (540i), Audi (C5 RS6), and Volvo also offered sporty wagon options

Creating a Porsche wagon would involve significant engineering challenges, as seen with the Panamera. The engine placement in a sedan or wagon differs from a 911

Porsche has embraced the wagon format with both the Taycan and Panamera Sport Turismo models

While some dislike the 996's fried-egg headlights, there are affordable fixes available

While the 996's cabin was low-rent, a combination of performance and practicality would have made it a compelling choice.

A 996-inspired wagon would have been a desirable option in the 2000s. Swipe up to read more.

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

Porsche's recent focus on the hybrid 911 is why the Carrera S will take longer to arrive

Porsche's decision to not offer its most popular 911 right away shows the German automaker is willing to go the extra mile to push the electrified 911 in our faces

There is no Carrera S prototype spotted yet, which means it will be based on one of the existing 992.2 models

We know the base 992.2 Carrera received the 992.1 GTS' turbochargers. A 992.2 Carrera S could get the 992.1 Turbo's setup

One source claims the 992.2 Carrera S would feature a hybrid setup, similar to the 2025 GTS

A hybrid powertrain on the Carrera S could have some consequences for the more analog focused driver

It automatically rules out a manual 911, at least for the mainstream models

A fairly reliable source quotes a power figure of 510 horsepower for the upcoming Carrera S

However, this power figure puts it dangerously close to the T-Hybrid-powered Carrera GTS

The 992.2 Carrera S could also introduce a more distinctive design that separates it from other 992.2 models

A 500-plus horsepower, hybrid Carrera S would be a big jump from the base Carrera, unless Porsche is planning something special

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
