This Porsche 911 Carrera rocks an upgraded engine, new suspension, and beefed-up brakes car auto cars
has been in the headlines a lot in recent months but its exorbitant $223,450 price tag puts it out of reach for most. This particular safari-style 1997 911 Carrera Coupe is a little more affordable and approachable.and while it probably isn’t as capable off-road as the new 911 Dakar, it certainly looks the part and would be much more suited to gravel roads and sand dunes than a standard 911 of this era.
As for the 3.6-liter air-cooled flat-six engine, it remains largely stock but does have a new VarioRam intake system. It is coupled to a six-speed manual transmission that drives the rear wheels. New brake rotors and pads have also been fitted. A handful of welcome changes have also been made to the car’s interior. For example, there are new Recaro Pole Position seats clad in black leather with houndstooth inserts and an embossed Porsche crest in the headrests. A harness bar also catches the eye and has allowed for the fitment of Sparco six-point harnesses.advertisement scroll to continue
