In this episode, Larry Chen unveils a jaw-dropping creation: a turbo Safari beast born from a 991 Turbo S. This isn't your average Porsche; it's a wild street machine turned off-road warrior. With custom flare, relocated radiators, and smaller wheels, this car means business. The modifications don't stop there - upgraded brakes, increased ground clearance, and a suspension overhaul make this Porsche a force to be reckoned with. And let's not forget about the engine - boasting 800 horsepower, this car is a rocket ship on wheels. But it's not all about power; protection is key. With Kevlar skid plates, reinforced components, and bash bars, this beast is ready to take on any terrain. Larry and the team have spared no detail in ensuring this car is not only powerful but also durable and rugged. From the custom lower control arms to the prototype strut bar, every element has been meticulously designed for maximum performance. And with a stock interior that retains its comfort and functionality, this Porsche is the ultimate blend of power and luxury.
