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
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
