I don't have the type of money to buy a built vehicle like this but I appreciate when a client has a high ceiling budget when they come into the shop. Larry's channel has developed into a top tier "non domestic" automotive enthusiast channel
You need hundreds of thousands of dollars to be able to enjoy something like this as a toy. Only the very few ultra wealthy will ever get the privilege to enjoy this beautiful ride
It's good when wealthy people actually spend their money though, that's the only way any "trickling down" could ever stand a chance of working. We should always encourage people with money to enjoy life and spend the money - that puts it in the hands of the people who build these cars and all the parts in them.
@@shoveI 100% agree and grateful for Larry to document and bring us along for the experience through his channel. I have great respect for people who actually drive their rides vs store them away in a museum or personal storage
@@shoveI The ultra rich love "trickling down" since it's basically a scam. =)
So true but he also makes them reliable as a daily driver. 800hp in a 911. Scary fast! Porsche Dakar has nothing on this. Crash bars on the outside that protect the vitals of the 911 that you can easily overlook. 😅
I don't use it as a toy. I drive it to work. I am head green bean supervisor at Walmart
Now I kinda want to see a 718 done up in a similar fashion.
Theres on kicking around in insta a white one alot less of a street car tho full cage and half interior
Cayman rally spec can be bought from Porsche
@@Wabeeninc if they made a road legal version with an interior I’d be all for it.
Isn’t it fascinating how a single vehicle can ignite such a diverse array of opinions and desires? From dreaming of an accessible version for the everyday enthusiast to appreciating the sheer engineering marvel, it’s clear we all share a deep love for automotive innovation. But here’s a thought: what if brands took note and started creating more accessible versions of these engineering feats? Imagine a world where more of us could experience the thrill of driving something truly extraordinary, not just the ultra-wealthy. Would you prefer a more accessible, albeit less specced, version of this masterpiece, or is the exclusivity part of the allure for you?
Agreed. Was just thinking “imagine an accessible version 😮”. Standard Carrera, 991.1 MT. Oof.
As well as other manufacturers.
This one just rocketed 🚀 to the top of my list.
And for the record, as a car guy I don’t have a list!! 🏎️🚗🚙🚌
I guess the paradox is always: if you take something truly extraordinary and make it less specced, it's not so extraordinary anymore?
like, the more accessible version of this is a macan for 1/10th the price, or... a FB marketplace el camino with a lift kit, or...
Exclusivity is definitely part of the allure. No question about it. The thing with this is the conversion costs. But I understand that it predominantly has to do with the really high specialist labour charges in the US. Just as an example, you can get a 997 Turbo or a 991.1 Turbo S used, get the KW Clubsport 3 way shocks with custom elements can be had in around 20-22k USD n set up for your particular needs or application. Setting up the remaining stuff such as underbody protection n bash bars can be done on a budget too. But the difference will come when it comes to setup expertise cos this man's been building race winning cars for Pikes Peak for ages. I don't think any large manufacturer will take that much interest n put effort in putting together a product which will cater to such a niche market. That being said, if you're not fussy about makin 800bhp, you can always head over to Tuthill Porsche n get an OG 911 in rally spec n with a manual for about half this asking price. They cater do both ends of the spectrum. Want a Carrera RS spec stripped out car with intricate interiors n Singer level work done, you have their 500+k USD restomod cars but they do deal with their older conversions around the 150k mark.
The ending scenes of your videos never get old. You've been everywhere Larry, you've shot everything and experienced everything. Thank you for letting us also be apart of these unique and crazy experiences as well.
I’ve built safari-esk adaptations of sports cars for some time. The results are incredible from a functionality perspective. This example is the peak of performance and application with lesser sorted options available. Kudos to this team for assembling such a well sorted ride.
If I were dailying one of these in a city, this is 100% the way to do it
This is unbelievably cool! What an incredibly well done car! All it needs is a six speed manual (beefed up for turbo s duty) but it’s otherwise a perfect safari 911. Thank you for sharing this build!
Great Review Larry!
Cool interpretation!
Love this!!!
i had to pull up the info on the "safari-esqe" KMR 991. KMR build incredible stuff but E-Motion being a more boutique type builder this car is really hard to be classed with other safari builds. this is closer to the Tuthill/Singer car or maybe Tj's car but even that doesn't classify it. I really had to go thru this video and stop it and try frame by frame to really get an idea of what this is. this is not a safari build this is a 100% purpose built fully fabricated off road and street car that nothing was left to chance. its so thought out and being that Joey was some type of suspension and motorsport savant for Porsche motorsport means this is so far beyond a simple turbo safari. its mind blowing to see and attempt to understand the ergonomics and the strength/reinforcement that's been done to tie this all together. its not buying a shitload of parts off a shelf its fully incorporating the mechanics of a road car then integrating a weird off-road motorsport type of construction based around a gt3 race car. its nucking futz. just mind bending to integrate everything so it is still a by design bigger turbo missle that can do what a street car does but only relatively aggressive off-road desert settings. again its unbelievable. holy shit pickles I want it!!! id be in jail in 1 hour or less I pretty sure but what a road hour it would be! cheers
That is awesome!
It would be interesting to see the front bumper redesigned to remove the intakes for the deleted side radiators.
how utterly ridiculously killer!! what a weapons grade build just like the cup bodied turbo. just off the scale... way the f**k off any scale you could measure porsche coolness with. now what makes me see that theres never been a doubt that Joey knows cool shit...the gt2 tips and exits are a true measure of whether a turbo build is wicked. out of the park Joey, out of this world. this thing is out in another galaxy. i cant wait to see you huck this thing. what limits uptravel like a bump stop would on a prerunner truck? id love to build cayenne prerunners but that not even close to how badass this has got to be. another truly exceptional project from concept to completion this is as top notch as it could ever be. out-f**king-standing sir. cheers
Very fun job being able to make dreams come true
4:25 anyone notice the rwb with pizza cutters in the background 😂
Such a cool car wow
Fantastic
Insane!😊
I hope there will be a video it being driven in the dessert!
I would so do this to a 991 TTs Cab, not off-road but to have it higher and more capable
Porsche should sell an OEM safari spec 911. Somehow the body style still looks good lifted, imo, as it always has. I think people would buy it if it wasnt over specced and expensive.
Bruh, the dakar exists lmao
@@MrPimpmygun "... if it wasnt over specced and expensive."
@@regulus6936 this costs 200k more then a Dakar
That Dakar porsche is rally car for these who don't know what rally car is. Would be nice to see someone build a modern rally spec porsche, this was closer than what porsche did but still not quite there
@@HJK242 kelly Moss has been the leader in rally Porsches for decades, actually race used in mass scale, Russell built makes a great all carbon Baja build, Phillip Gemballa, or just Gemballa makes the Marsienne, a modern 992 based 959, raised and all on rally tires. Singer made the ACS but then Porsche sued after Top Gear featured it. That's why big companies don't do modern rally Porsches, the Dakar was always in the works and Porsche isn't afraid to go after people cutting up 991's and 2's to do Dakar spec cars. They're just more discreet then Ferrari about it. Also that's not true, there's a single Dakar that's doing a circumnavigation all off-road right now, Dakar around the world. They're very capable cars, another great example is SupercarRons Dakar, a fellow TH-camr, they send theirs and it does great. It's not the cars, it's the people buying them that are too afraid to have repairs on their Carfax because it'll lower resale value. Some are being hard, but most are garage queens, and that's not the Dakar fault. Don't hate the player, hate the game, every limited car for most people is an investment tool first and a car to enjoy second.
No surprise - Joey does insane work. E-motion is *easily* one of the best in the biz.
I was about to email asking how you removed the warning for the loss of active aero then i heard it come on 😅
very valid
Cool build! Way out of my league, but I bet it’s a fun one.
Cool build. But isn't that trunk mounted radiator with open hood exposed to mud and water if/when this thing gets taken off-road?
Is this kit can be sent overseas, it would be superb
Vary clean build, most people won’t know it’s modded apart from the hight giving it away
When I hit the lotto. I need this built & even better. No spare expenses. Just build please
If I get powerball this Saturday this guy is going to be a very very rich man very quickly.
If I had the means, I would absolutely buy one of these to daily drive and rip in all winter to the ski hill
So bad ass!!
Like I said before. He is one of the Kings of Porsche!!! No restraints and not a million dollar Porsche but can easily be. He changes everything and then some. You don't have to have a huge marketing budget to be one of the top tier builders!!
Now that he's built one, maybe the next person to order one can benefit from some cost savings
It needed some roof big fog lights
I'm keeping the sunroof on my order
Kevlar for skid plates????
That’s what most trucks use in rally Dakar - Kevlar
Some people call them speed bumps. I call 'em free jumps.
I'm sure they did a lot of suspension work but they definately didnt take the time to properly adjust the rear wheels in the wheel well once they lifted it. they are shoved foward almost to the point of touching, if you had any bigger tire on it would rub for sure in the back.
And the front tires look like they have less then an inch clearance from the front bumper.. it's beautiful but definitely can't see it actually on any real trails.. maybe just sand lol. He said it's designed to work like that even from Porsche so maybe it will work. I'm no engineer lol
@13:40
The rear wheel moves back as it compresses. They should have shot an outside view while it was accelerating so you can see how the suspension moves.
more interesting than a Dakar
#1
Me likey
Oh man this is way less than i thought it would be..
TBASCO FROM THE SAUCE OR FROM TABASCO 🇲🇽??
Lance Armstrong builds the best Porsches
Needs roof rack
Why why why
It’s a half price of a 959 put that in the Rothmans paints scheme and go run the Baja
“He he” that laugh of absolute madness pain and perseverance 🥲
I had those tires on my wife's Toyota Sienna minivan, they look way better on the 911.
hard work pays off! 👏
Really
Arguably, buying this conversion is still cheaper than buying a Dakar from a US dealer. And you end up with a faster car, with no fuckery about ADM and VIP buyers only.
what does the number plate meaning??? 0:21
Spicy.
Actually, it says "tabasco", wich is an hot sauce, it doesn't mean "spicy".
@@regulus6936 it’s also a region in Mexico. Could have any number of meanings, mine was just off the top of my head to connect a known product to the hotness factor of the car/build.
What is the point of that
Nice Alpine A110
Why
Manual or bust
Can I have that, .pretty please?
Bit quiet 🤫 very sad
That thing is ugly. Joey is an awesome dude and Larry is a killer photographer, but this car is fugly
Put it back down
Let me run it in Dakar. Then we can prove it,. Pretty sure against Porsche factory it will run well
With all due respect it's kind of like putting a bunch of bits on a Yaris GR and comparing it to a Lexus LFA
Not quite that dramatic.
Considering the 959 was at least largely based on a 911, no
So this thing is double the price of a dakar, no warranty, no appreciation, it's cool engineering, but an incredibly stupid investment
Obviously, this customer has fuck you money and doesn't care as much about the 'investment' part of the vehicle. Yolo 😅
