Porsche 911 received special axles and huge off-road tires, and its ground clearance increased to 350 mm. The serial version of the model will appear soon.
The standard Porsche 911 Carrera 4S coupe was taken as the basis for the SUV. They were equipped with special portal axles, as in the Mercedes G-Class 4X4 – this made it possible to increase the ground clearance to 350 mm and install huge tires with lugs.
In addition, sports cars have widened fenders and bevelled bottom bumpers to increase the angles of entry and exit. The bottom received protection, and a trunk appeared on the roof.
In the interior of the Porsche 911 ‘Special Experimental Project’, sports seats with a carbon fiber frame were installed. A carbon frame and five-point seat belts are also installed.
The engine remained unchanged – the coupe is equipped with a 450-horsepower 3.0-liter turbo six. But the all-wheel drive was added
A total of two Porsche 911 ‘Special Experimental Projects’ were produced. Cars are being tested in Chile on the slopes of the world’s highest volcano Ojos del Salado. During the tests, the prototypes rose to a height of 6007 meters above sea level. One of the cars was driven by the famous racer Romain Dumas.
This is not the first such project from Porsche. In the 80s, such off-road 911s even won the Paris-Dakar rally. And modern concept cars are harbingers of the production model.
