Restomod Porsche 911 (993)

The Italian company Lab Eleven, specialized in Porsche 993 models, presented another project based on this car. It’s a restomod Porsche 911 (993) that got a new life.

Each car undergoes 4,000 hours of work which includes removing the original engine, tuning the chassis, refinishing the suspension and installing new aluminum, magnesium or carbon body panels. Customers can choose from 100 body colors and more than 200 total personalization colors.

Lab Eleven equipped the car with F-model front hood, metal sheet bonnet, carbon front and rear bumpers, enlarged rear end fenders, enlarged front fender, LED front headlights, mirrors model ‘RSR’, original windshield and rear window, Fuchs patterned wheels with diamond profile, Porsche lettering and stripes on the side and stripes on the front and rear bumper.

The body has also been lowered, and new ‘Bilstein’ shock absorbers and suspension system, new original brake calipers, and a new ‘Cargraphic Performance’ exhaust system have been installed.

Inside, buyers can choose from comfortable “Recaro” or “Sport” carbon seats. Alcantara covers dashboard, roof, ‘RSR’ steering wheel which can also be covered in leather, and interior doors with electric windows which can be covered in leather or braided leather.

When it comes to the powertrain, a complete overhaul of engine and transmission was done, and a mileage counter is set on ‘Zero’ again. Buyers can choose between 3.6-L, 3.8-L and 4.0-L engines, rated at 300 to 400 hp (294 kW), mated to a Getrag 6-speed transmission.

The price of this restomod Porsche 911 (993 ) is unknown.

Porsche produced the last 911 Dakar

At the 2022 LA Auto Show Porsche revealed a limited edition version of its all-road car, the Porsche 911 Dakar. It is based on the Carrera 4 and Porsche planned to produce 2,500 examples of this model. A few days ago, a unique example was produced for an Italian customer, which is also the last 911 Dakar.

With this model, Porsche paid tribute to the Porsche 911 (953), which won the famous Paris-Dakar rally in 1984. The car has a slightly higher ground clearance than the Carrera, which in Off-Road mode can be increased by an additional 8 cm in height , and in Rallye mode the distance can be reduced from 8 to 5 cm.

This example is finished in a combination of yellow, dark blue and light blue. It is equipped with a new front bumper, revised air intakes, fixed rear wing, round exhaust pipes and a single-piece light bar under the rear wing.

911 Dakar is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged boxer 6 engine with 473 hp (348 kW) and 420 lb-ft (570 Nm) of torque. Power is sent to all wheels via an 8-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK). It reaches 60 mph in 3.4 seconds with an electronically limited top speed of 149 mph (240 km/h). It’s mounted on a set of 19 and 20-inch wheels wrapped in 245/45 R19 (front) and 295/40 R20 (rear) all-terrain tires.

The car will be displayed in a museum before being delivered to the customer in Italy.

2025 Porsche 911 (992.2) Carrera T Coupé

After unveiling the redesigned edition of its most famous Carrera 911 model (992.2), Porsche has expanded its range with the Carrera T (Touring) version.

This version is lighter than the standard 911 (992.2) and weighs 1,490 kilograms thanks to lighter glasses and less insulation, and customers can further reduce the weight of the car by choosing the optional carbon seats. It also got larger and more efficient brakes, 20- and 21-inch alloy wheels, adaptive suspension, improved stabilizers and steering through the rear axle to increase handling. Also, this time Porsche decided to offer the Carrera T as a Cabriolet.

When it comes to the powertrain, there were no major changes. There is still the 6-cylinder boxer biturbo engine that now has 394 hp (289 kW) which is slightly more than the standard model (385 hp) and 332 lb-ft (450 Nm) of torque. That is enough for acceleration to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 4.5 seconds and a top speed of 295 km/h (183 mph). Drivers will no longer be able to count on the 8-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission (PDK) that was optional in the previous edition, as there is now a 6-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear axle. The shift lever with a wooden ball was reminiscent of those from the racing model 917 with which Porsche achieved the first of 19 victories at Le Mans 54 years ago.

Speaking of price, the new Porsche 911 Carrera T Coupé in Germany starts at 141,700 euros.
