964 - Desert
"Over the years Robert has prepared many engines for me, but above all he has done something that is priceless, he makes me smile with enormous satisfaction every time I hit the accelerator!"
The desert 911
It all began with a 964 Carrera 4,
our goal was to get an agile car that could tackle with determination
all kinds of terrain.
At first all the suspension system has been redesigned,
the kinematics has been in fact modified by lengthening the axles,
by installing double shock absorbers and finally
by mounting interchangeable hubs.
This allowed us not only to raise the car by several centimeters but also to provide the necessary support.
The chassis instead has been completely strengthened in all its parts
and revisited in some, some necessary steps to allow the 911
to run agile through the desert dunes.
These changes were dealt respectively by
Orazio Rodrigo and the boys of Jollycar di Salò.
The Engine
We took care of the finishing and tuning of the car,
the engine was completely dismantled to allow us these changes:
firstly in order to have a better flow we modified the heads,
then the compression ratio was raised considerably
and racy cammes have been installed.
This Porsche has turned into a sand monster,
unstoppable on any type of terrain,
as confirmed by the results of the rallies in Libya and Paris-Dakar.
