      Road & Track has a great article on Porsche's factory version of a Safari build. It looks perfect--especially with that livery.

        This is fantastic, such a nice look. But I gotta say, needs more tread on those tires (proper a/t or allweather) and like 2x the ground clearance!

        Still love it. 11/10 would daily in the snow.

          This was my first thought too..."Safari build....? Why is it so low!!!???"

            Exactly! There's no definition for "safari" I know of, but if it's lower than a stock subaru or other "rugged" car I wouldn't really call it safari. That front lip is gonna scrape on lots of dirt roads.

            disclaimer: I own a faux-rugged wagon and do take it on said dirt roads

              Needs more sidewall, probably more room for suspension travel, and to be higher.

              I said from my computer chair not owning a Porsche.
