Let’s get dirty!
The Porsche 911 has always been a pure driver’s sports car that performs like no other on the asphalt. It’s made for the road and track where its low center of gravity, rear-engined layout, and driving dynamics can really shine. Its rims and tires weren’t made to go in the dirt and gravel – except the LuftAuto Safari 911.
Designed and built by E-motion Engineering, the Safari 911 is made to be both a daily driver and capable off-roader that was crafted using form and function. It’s classic shape and bodywork was retained however many upgrades were made from the rims and tires to the suspension, and bumpers.
A long list of talented professional drivers and automotive celebrities including Patrick Long, Howie Idelson, Jeff Zwart, Rod Emory, Carby Tuckwell, and the Deus Team, and John Benton all consulted on the creation of the off-road sports car to ensure that it was capable of performing exceptionally no matter where its rims and tires were rolling.
The classic air-cooled flat-six that powers the rear rims and tires was modified as well but still retains that iconic wail similar to that of the race cars. The entire chassis had to be lifted to allow the off road wheels and tires to travel vertically without affecting the undercarriage or the body work.
Everything about this off-road Porsche 911 Safari by LuftAuto is just gorgeous. It’s purposeful, timeless, and sporty while being able to do everything in between.
