I Need An Off-Road Porsche 911 In My Life
I Need An Off-Road Porsche 911 In My Life-October 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:11:44

The best car in the 12 Hours of Sebring paddock wasn't one of the party trucks that wandered around with fans yelling "WOOOO" in the bed, or any kind of latest-and-greatest supercar. Nope. Not even close. It was this 1986 Porsche 911 jacked up on nubby tires with a million rally lights up front. I'm...I'm in love.

This was the , a car with so many nods to every detail I love that was put on vintage 911s that I...I can't even. Ducktail! Side script! Round lights! TEN round lights, even!

The car was a collaboration between Porsche 911 GT3 Cup powerhouse Kelly-Moss Motorsports and Stone Brothers Garage. It was built out of an old 911 race car body, so it already came with a cage. It also has a brush guard and a winch, just in case. It also has a big fuel cell in the front so you're less likely to get stranded out in the wild. There's a brake proportioning valve fitted to the car to move its stopping power to where you need it, too.

Look at it, man. Everything about this is good and wonderful.

(And probably very drifty with all that weight in the back!)

Is there a better place to mount a spare tire on a crazy off-road car than on the roof rack? Nope. It's the kind of thing that says "look at my tires—they mean business."

The interior features a gorgeous carbon-fiber dash board and wild color-changing LED lighting. This isn't a full-on rally car (look at that un-flocked shiny dash and modern sound system!), but to say I wouldn't hoon its tires off anyway would be a blatant lie.

If you've got an old 911 tub just lying around the shop, this is the best thing you could ever do with it. Ever. The universe needs more off-road 911s: fact.

Ferrari Is Almost Ready To Give Up On Its 2021 F1 Effort
Sorry Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, your car is pretty much only going to get less competitive as the 2021 season drags on, because Scuderia Ferrari says it’s moving “90 to 95 percent” of its focus to developing its 2022 car and the new regulations. It will not risk...

Formula 1's Neverending Battle With Flexible Wings Is On Once Again
Formula 1's Neverending Battle With Flexible Wings Is On Once Again
Lewis Hamilton after qualifying in Spain this past weekend that the Red Bull cars had “bendy” rear wings on their car, which made them three-tenths of a second faster. That would be big if true, because Formula 1 has been battling flexible wings for decades. The problem, of course,...

Slowing Down Has Never Looked So Hard
Slowing Down Has Never Looked So Hard
The greatest piece of onboard driving footage is, without a shred of doubt in my mind, the legendary Ari Vatanen going flat-out down a narrow rally stage, clipping a cattle guard, and nearly careening off the road while his codriver calmly intones “dear God.” Here is a bit more context...

The Bitcoin Car Isn't Sponsored By Bitcoin
This week Ed Carpenter Racing announced the final of the Indy 500's 35 car entries, for race rookie Rinus Veekay, . There’s only one problem with that, Bitcoin is a decentralized entity, meaning nobody owns it or operates it. Therefore, there isn’t anyone to actually provide sponsorship dollars, and...

Listen To A Race Car Too Fast For Its Own Good
Listen To A Race Car Too Fast For Its Own Good
With Ferrari , it is hard not to think of the howl of old V12s tearing up forgotten racetracks. When I think of a Ferrari engine at the greatest sports car race in the world, though, I think of this thing. It’s the Lancia LC2, the company’s first Group...
