The verdict

What's good

  • A 911 that tackles dirt and dunes
  • Raised ride clears rough trails
  • Rally-inspired looks turn heads
  • Built in tiny numbers, instant collectible

What's not

  • Top speed capped by off-road tires
  • Knobby tires hum loudly on pavement
  • Rare and very hard to buy
  • Limited cargo for a road-trip rig

The engine

3.0L Twin-Turbo H6

Twin-Turbo Flat-6

A 3.0-liter twin-turbo horizontally-opposed six mounted out back, delivering the classic 911 blend of smooth low-end torque and a hard, metallic rush to its high redline.

Porsche's signature boxer-six layout dates to the original 1963 911; the modern twin-turbo version keeps the low center of gravity that makes the rear-engine 911 handle the way it does.
