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!

Great work guys!
How’s the back?
If you need an excuse for more seat time… I’d happily watch an on road review.
Now this is the type of off road videos I want from you guys. Looks like you were having a blast Matt. Great Job.
You guys killed it with this video in general but the audio quality and the clarity of the exhaust in the driveby shots is some of the best I've ever seen on TST.
@@kylem324 Back is good!
This video deserves an extended cut.
I'm getting callbacks to the old TST videos. Of all the cars to produce a proper video with, this one was the one. Good choice.
This thing is incredible
Lowstrife no distractions please we need your support saving btc 😂😂😂
I know the money doesn’t line up on these more produced pieces, but I really appreciate it boys. Great video
We'll see. If the views go huge maybe it will be worth the extra production time.
Smiles per Gallon... and this was great.
I enjoy videos like this. Hopefully, it did well.
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.
He won’t mention it but I will. These high-end clientele = Singer so you know the quality of the product is going to be top-notch
Yup 👍🏻
The homer helmet is a 10/10. This car is too, but just wanted to appreciate the headgear haha
Well this certainly must have been a fun day in the office. Incredible car. Hope Matt's back survived.
Absolutely LOVE the production of this video! I think this is the direction of the new One takes! Beautiful shots, builder interview, Matt’s drive reaction, perfect combo of the impression and story, looking forward to more videos like this!
But the real question is... When will it be a SnowRunner mod?😂 Truly an incredible build!!
U are black??
I think it's more deserving of beam Ng!
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!
I cannot believe how low the views are. What a video and what a car. That’s the most I have smiled watching a YT video in a very long time. Thanks guys that was fantastic.
The sounds coming out of that car. WOW
TJ is the man... I got to go for a ride in the Baja a few weeks back and it is seriously bonkers! The amount of engineering and then the meticulous methodology of putting it all together and making everything work perfectly was nothing short of amazing.
Matt Farah: "I have a weak spine..."
Also Matt Farah: 2:03
It's fine when you're landing on cloud filled pillows.
That's probably easier on your spine than driving a Focus RS over a speed bump.
I’m literally watching this on my living room floor bc I threw my back out this morning. I think this video is making it worse lol
This is it. This is simply the sickest car ever featured in TST.
Reminds me of Richard Hammond in the Bowler Wildcat.
TJ is such a rad dude, and an amazing builder. I hope he gets all the love and business he deserves!
Thank you 🙏🏻
Awesome video, the production was great! It reminded me of the old Drive/TUNED days.
i can't express how much i've missed these kinds of videos since /TUNED! and what a build as well! i'm so happy this made my week!
The sound of that thing tearing over rough roads!!! Screw every wrc car, I WANT THAT!!!! When you jumped it I had to reel my eyes back in my head!
Love shots of impeccably damped high speed off-roading. Not sure which I prefer The Homer helmet/Baja911!!
I'm surprised there aren't 10x this many views. One of the best videos I've ever watched!
The extra production quality is much appreciated. If any car deserves it, it's this one.
That climb up the narrow pass when it cut to the forward facing camera... Yeesh! If I was Matt there I'd have shit myself.
That hill! Holy crap. That was actually amazing, looked insane even on camera
Holy crap I’m a huge sand dunes enthusiast with my Jeep and this would be my ultimate vehicle. I love Porsches and this love child of trophy truck and 911 is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. I’ve always wanted a long travel twin turbo v8 rail I always see up there sending wheelies past me but this is 1000 times cooler
This thing is an absolute monster.
Smoking Tire generates the best content ever this is up there with the White Evo that you couldn't hold full throttle on. Love It!
Literally watched that again last night . So good
White Evo huh?, gonna have to go find that video right now. Two of my favorites were that hardtop Miata with the polished hood, and the little Honda N600 w/the VFR motor, in terms of Matt’s’ experience.
The Michael Jackson evo was such a great video
All I’m just imagining is Jeremy Clarkson screaming “Speed and power!!!” Climbing that hill
Humble dude. Killer car.
Been waiting for this video! Quality quality!
Incredible video! The cuts between driving the narrative were very well done, and my god that car is something else!
I'm ear to ear smiling for muh FuKnDoOde Matt Farrah!!!!
It's like a full size version of the off-road RC vehicles from my childhood.
Haven't seen Matt enjoy driving something this much in years.
The RWD Mini 😆
Incroyable video
I see what you did there.
I've always enjoyed the off road videos and this might be the most fun one - the techno music was also a fun addition
WOW. WOW. WOW! I saw it at GVBC and it blew my mind. Great drive in this video
I haven’t seen Matt have more fun with any other car. Love it. Helmet is awesome too.
Incredible car. Incredible video.
Beast mode. Amazing machine.
One of my more favorite TST videos to date! What an incredible vehicle!! I'd kill to get an opportunity to drive that.
I’ve been looking forward to this for a while, but THAT INTRO! This video had me hyped, I bet Hagerty wishes the season of modified could be one video longer for this!
In love with this car, TJ seems like a really passionate car guy too!
Amazing car, amazing production!
This is bad ass! Insane what it can do!
Appreciate the extra polish on this episode, guys! This car definitely deserved it!
Longtime TST watcher, first time commenter. Never seen Matt so amped about a car, very cool to see. Great video!
What a lovely thing. I want one.
Matt's helmet is so sick
It looks like you guys had a blast!
I love Porsches and am not bothered
in the least by the conversion. I say build your dream and dtive it! You only have one life to live, so get out there and live it ! Cuz in the end, you're not taking anything with you.
ABSOLUTELY THE MOST FUN SITTING ON THE COUCH
Living the dream!
That thing rips along like a speed boat in a chop 12:58
That's why you let Matt Farah drive your car! He just made this Baja911 worth it, in every sense of the way. Damn. Just F-YES!
WOW, just WOW !!!😲😲😲
This really shows off Matt's driving skills, well done Matt !!😲
Really nice video. I hope it's successful enough for this format to make more appearances.
Share the crap out of it!
Nice drivin' boss.
This is the best car I've seen in hundreds of videos on this channel and might be the best driving too.
DUDE. That clip of the hill is SO awesome. That’s what always makes your reviews so good they’re all so real and in the moment. Closest well ever be to actually being there. Also extremely beyond jealous
the homer simpson helmet alone was worth the like. great car and great production. keep it up and youll be a million view per video channel.
Long time supporter of all your content. Exceptional video Matt. Excellent cinematography with the switches between the interview and in car. Your joy and excitement was infectious.
Glad I came back around to watching this video! I could feel Matt's exhilaration being pumped into my veins. SO sick!
OK I’ve been subscribing now for about 4 years and this SH*T RIGHT HERE?! had me giggling like I was driving it myself.
That thing looks like an absolute riot. What an amazing machine
Amazing vehicle - should also test it on some old, pothole- riddled CA roads
Absolutely dug this short film or whatever you would like call it! 👍🏾 Very Very well done, could we expect more of this style? Always loved your stuff good shit. Keep up the good work and thanks for the free content stay safe!
Good pacing... I like the action mixed with the tech info like that.
Awesome video and amazing vehicle! Loved the extra editing in this one! Thanks guys keep it up.
YESS. OG TST is back!
As a kid the Lamborghini Countach was my holy shit car. This is far better. Awesome video guys. Hope to see TJ on the podcast.
One of the coolest builds ever!
Killer car, even at half a million its worth every penny, Rj in Oz
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude. Yes.
Wonderful video and awesome car. Love the production value on this.
My favorite videos are when Matt is laughing uncontrollably because the car is so fun
Best vid I’ve seen in a long time. Awesome job.
This thing is freaking bananas. How fun it must be.
I really hope this video blows up this was such a good one
This is like vintage Smoking Tire
This is the best thing I have ever seen!! 🔥🔥
SO fired up! I'm callin' him to build my 991 targa 4S. Yeahaw!!
If as you say, this drives purists insane, tell the purists that Porsche's early legacy was in rally racing since the first race that a Porsche competed in was the Monte Carlo rally in the mid 60's.
Great video.
This thing is insane! Such an amazing build
that climb at 7:52 looks insane
It was very steep and so narrow!
Oh hell yeah, classic TST vibes in this one, love it!
That’s peak 911 i reckon - have you had or can you get it him on the podcast?
Last comment of the year! Came back to check this out after watching the year end podcast. Glad I came back to catch this.
Baja 911 + Homer Simpson helmet for the win!
That car was worth the extra production value. What a crazy machine.
So awesome! I'd love to see this done with a C8 also
Absolutely epic video. Love this format!
Don't think I've see Matt have so much fun and grinning the whole way
That's a crazy and fun Baja rig I would love to tear it up in that thing.
Great video and new format guys!
At the time I am watching there are currently 6,343 people who have watched this and not liked the video.. what is wrong with you all! This is THE pinnacle of RUclips right now.
Right?!
Awesome.........
I've never been much for off roading, but DAMN! that looks like fun!
I see the production quality on this one, nice!
