Porsche wants you to get dirty with its flagship sports car.
The German automaker is testing a high-riding version of the Porsche 911 that’s a modern riff on the rally cars of the 1970s.
Spy shots from the Arctic show a prototype with a raised suspension, an exhaust layout similar to that of the 911 GTS, flared wheel arches found on the Taycan Cross Turismo and an old-school whale tail from the 930.
Special 911 trims are typically geared toward on-track use, said Sam Fiorani, vice president at AutoForecast Solutions. “Creating a production variant of an off-road 911 is just looking for a niche within a niche,” he said.
