Old Porsche 911s turned rally cars are not a novelty. We've seen a couple of them over the years and all we can say is that our garages wouldn't mind one. Actually, Porsche built such contraptions in the early 1970s, after it got out of racing in the WRC, and while there are no such plans for the future, here's a batch of 993-based 911 'Safari' renders that might turn into reality should someone crazy enough see them.

The 993 911 is special, so these renders are special too

As the last air-cooled Porsche 911, the 993 generation ticked a lot of boxes: it had the looks, the proper mechanical package, and the ability to stroll around the city just as easy as it could take you on that long summer road trip.

In the 993 Carrera, power came from a 3.6-liter, air-cooled flat-six with 272 horsepower sent to the rear axle by a six-speed manual. The rear suspension was of the multi-link ilk.

Given the context, Emre Husmen had a stab at using the 993 as a base for an imaginative Safari-style/rally car. In the artist's vision, power of the 911X (that's what he calls the concept) should be raised to 600 horsepower dispatched on all four corners via the 959's all-wheel-drive setup.

That said, Emre's renders show the rally-ready 993 sitting on both 19-inch and 24-inch wheels. In all fairness, the 19-inch wheels are a tad larger for off-road duties should you ask for our two cents, while the 24 inchers simply make the build look like a distasteful donk. So they're a no-no right off the bat.

Emre needed 15 days to design the whole car from scratch and he even gave it the stunning Martini livery. That said, take your time to scroll through the photo gallery because you're in for a serious bath in the purest eye candy you'll see this week on the internet.
