    This is The Baja 911, and it's the wildest Porsche build we've ever seen. Starting with a Carrera *Cabriolet*, designer and fabricator TJ Russell goes to the absolute extreme, with an integrated tube chassis, wild long-travel shocks, a powerful Rothsport Racing engine, and too many other modifications to list. According to Russell, if you just added a couple of extra bars to the roll cage, The Baja 911 would pass tech for the Baja 1000 race, but it's also comfortable and luxurious enough to use as a weekend toy. in this video we take the Baja 911 over whoops, jumps, sandy washes, and up a comically narrow and sketchy trail. This was one of the most fun videos we've ever made!

    Nothing better than when the owner/builder just tells you to go for it and push it harder...that's confidence in the build and even if something did happen, you can tell they'd just learn and improve the design further.

    I had so much fun watching this vid! You could tell Matt’s having the best time driving this! In a world where driving supercars seems almost mundane, it’s cool to see something like the Baja 911 bring spark and laughter back to driving! Oh and I can attest to the quality of the build! TJ doesn’t say it in the vid, but, he used to fabricate and build for Singer. So you know his attention to detail and quality is absolutely second to none! Ok, I’m gonna go watch it again! Thanks Matt & TJ!
