One could imagine that a now-retro gem like the 993 Porsche 911 Turbo will see the aftermarket realm steer clear of engaging in such a build. However, given the ever-expanding nature of the custom car culture, which has obviously been aided by social media, such an assumption would be incorrect. For now, though, we'll stick to a rendering showcasing a 1995 Neunelfer Turbo that has left its factory form long behind.
This pixel painting sees the Porscha being prepared for offroading adventures, a path that has exploded last decade, with builds of the sort now including air-cooled and water-cooled models alike. And the exercise we have here seems to aim for a high-profile project.
Yes, this air-cooled Turbo packs a massive widebody, but the fresh arches now accommodate wheels wrapped in all-terrain tires. Then there's the lift kit of the vehicle, as well as the serious underbody and lower body protection elements. The machine even gets a spare wheel, with this being mounted on the roof rack.
We mustn't forget futuristic elements like the extra LED lights and the rear-view cameras replacing the door mirrors. For the record, we can thanks digital artist Emre Husmen for this work.
"What about the tech side?" I hear you asking. Well, Porsche continues to talk about the future of the internal combustion engine-powered 911, that might just be made possible with the help of synthetic fuels. So let's imagine this is the case with the 993 sitting before us.
While engines like Koenigsegg's Freevalve mills have been designed to run on such low-emission fuels from the get-go, previous statements coming from the German carmaker have made it clear that existing engines don't require too many modifications to run on such juice.
Nevertheless, we still don't have a viable technical solution for producing this type of fuel, as Porsche CEO Oliver Blume recently told Top Gear.
“We are running tests already with historic cars like the 993, with very good results. The costs are too high at the moment and we haven’t got the ability to produce the fuels in a very sustainable way, so with the help of partners, we are looking to produce them with wind or solar. It would be very attractive for cars already in the market,” the head honcho explained, fueling our dreams.
