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.

2025 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet

The 992.2 brings a more powerful boxer-six engine, a refreshed fascia, new Matrix LED lamps, a 12.6-inch digital cluster, and wireless Android Auto with Google support to 911 Carrera Cabriolet

The 2025 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet marks the beginning of the 992.2 generation and issues subtle yet meaningful updates to the iconic sports car. While this rear-wheel drive convertible is powered by the same 3.0-liter twin-turbo boxer-six mill, Porsche enhanced it with an intercooler from the Turbo model and upgraded turbochargers from the outgoing GTS model. The result is 388 horsepower, nine horsepower more than the outgoing model.

The Pros And Cons Of Buying A First-Generation Used Porsche Cayenne (955/957) - image 192857

The Pros And Cons Of Buying A First-Generation Used Porsche Cayenne (955/957)

We explore the highs and lows of the model, that took the performance SUV formula mainstream, and here's what we found

Picture this: It’s the early 2000s, and Porsche, the iconic sports carmaker, is teetering on the edge of bankruptcy. Desperate times called for desperate measures, and the company took a gamble that would change everything. Enter the Cayenne, a sporty SUV that raised eyebrows and turned heads. Purists scoffed, but Porsche knew what they were doing. Porsche saw the potential in the SUV market, and three generations later, I’m glad to say that it paid off. Sharing its platform with the VW Tourage, the Cayenne wasn’t just a success; it was a lifeline, injecting much-needed cash into Porsche’s coffers and securing their future (if you didn’t know, it was the Cayenne’s success that fueled the development of the iconic Carrera GT).

This Wingless Porsche Mission R Is One That Deserves To Exist In Real Life

The 2021 Mission R is already pretty spectacular to look at, but this rendering imagines the all-electric concept as an underground machine

Modern digital tools and computing power, give pretty much anybody (with some level of skill of course) the ability to manipulate images like never before. A.I. has only taken that narrative further, with endless ways to come up with silly stuff. But it can also be put to good use as we have here with this rendering based on the already stunning 2021 Mission R concept car, this time sans the wing. But here’s why I think this one is a bit more special when compared to previous Mission R renderings that cropped up online.

Piëch GT: A 1,000 Horsepower All-Electric Grand Tourer In The Making

Set to hit the road in 2028, could this flagship two-door coupe from Germany, beat the Porsche 911 EV to market?

The Porsche-Piëch connection is a deep-rooted family relationship that goes back decades and has shaped the history and success of the Porsche and Volkswagen automotive groups. Now, for those of you who haven’t heard of the Piëch name before, the late Dr.Ferdinand Piëch was one of the most influential automotive personalities of the 20th century. He was involved with the motorsports division of Porsche and Audi in the 1970s and ’80s and was instrumental in proliferating technologies such as Quattro and TDI. As CEO of Volkswagen in the 1990s, Piëch was also responsible for acquiring iconic brands such as Bugatti, and Lamborghini into the wider VW Group portfolio. Despite these phenomenal achievements, no car ever bore the Piëch name, until recently.

Porsche Says No To Gimmicks: The German Automaker Isn't Interested In A Simulated Manual For Its EVs

While the prospects of a fake manual transmission making it to a future all-electric Porsche look bleak, there may still be some hope left for the stick?

Things are always dynamic in the automotive industry and even carmakers like Porsche, hellbent on staying true to tradition, have to resort to unconventional methods to keep some of its most iconic models around. Porsche hasn’t given up on the internal combustion engine and it will continue to give us potent internal combustion powerplants, at least, until 2030. With electrification being the main agenda of many legacy automakers (and more than a few young companies), some of them are trying to make EVs more fun by incorporating traits from combustion-powered vehicles, such as manual shifting.

2013 Porsche Boxster (981)

Redesigned for the 2013 model year, the 981 generation of the Porsche Boxster arrived with chiseled styling and a revamped interior. Other improvements include four types of sports seats, a seven-inch touchscreen, and an electromechanical steering rack.

Porsche’s third-generation Boxster arrived for the 2013 model year, sporting a sleeker design, a longer wheelbase, and a new 2.7-liter boxer-six engine. This 981-generation model replaced the outgoing 987, improving the brand’s entry-level roadster. With 265 horsepower and 206 pound-feet of torque on tap, the Boxster sprinted to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds with the seven-speed PDK and Sport Chrono Package while returning up to 32 mpg on the highway.

Porsche 718 With The Best Power-To-Weight Ratio On Sale Today

While the current 718 range is available in a number of flavors, we crunch some numbers to uncover the trim that packs the most punch

The days of the gas-powered 718 may be numbered, but let’s get this out of the way. It still remains a phenomenal performance machine out of the box. Whether you’re eyeing the Cayman coupe or the Boxster drop-top, you’re looking at a mid-engine sports car available with either manual or the neck-snapping PDK automatic that is practically begging to be unleashed on a winding coastal road. Now, some folks might scoff at the base model’s 2.0-liter turbo-four, but trust me, that little engine punches above its weight. But if you’re a certified horsepower fiend, the S and GTS trims with their 2.5-liter turbo units will have you grinning like a loon.

TECHART GTStreet R Flyweight: The Upgraded 992 Turbo S To End All Non-Hybrid 911 Turbos

The stock 911 Turbo S is already plenty fast, but here's how this extreme makeover by TECHART, transforms it into a street-legal track-weapon

TECHART is one of those tuning houses that have cemented a reputation for high-quality performance parts. Since 1987, the company has done wonders for mostly (but not only) Porsche sports cars. Eventually, TECHART expanded its work to models like the Cayenne and Panamera, but what the outfit does with the 911 is something else. Back in 2021, the German tuner introduced the GT Street R - a 992 Turbo S with more power and crazy aero. At the same time, TECHART introduced Flyweight - its new performance brand for personalization. Think Porshe’s Sonderwunsch, but from TECHART.

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.

Stunning Render Shows What The Production Version Of The Porsche Boxster EV Could Look Like

With Porsche's first all-electric sportscar said to soon make its debut, here's a digital mockup based on the latest spy shots

If you’ve been keeping tabs and following the story on the upcoming all-electric Boxster, by this point, you’ve already seen extensive coverage of camouflaged prototypes on tests. They’ve been spotted across a number of locations from the Nürburging in Germany, and winter weather runs up in the Arctic circle to more recently, the streets of San Fransisco. But have you ever wondered what lies under the heavy cladding of the 718 EV? Well, a rendering based on the spy shots we’ve seen so far, could be a great way to decipher these details and that’s exactly what we have here.

Macan EV: The Cheapest Electric Porsche On Sale Today

Find out how the entry-level rear-wheel drive all-electric Macan fares when it comes to driving range and standard features

Porsche’s Macan, the brand’s popular compact SUV, underwent a major transformation in 2024. We’re not talking about a simple nip and tuck here; this is a whole new animal, ditching the internal combustion engine for a fully electric powertrain (you can still get the old Macan ICE versions before 2026). Porsche initially rolled out the all-wheel-drive Macan 4 and the range-topping Macan Turbo EVs, but the carmaker quickly realized it needed to expand the lineup to cater to a wider range of buyers.
