The world of modified cars is packed with examples of some of the world’s most brilliant, innovative, and clever car designers. A great deal of these car modifiers are fans of classic automobiles. The old-school nature of these cars makes them perfect candidates for modification. However, when it comes to classic Porsches, things get taken to a new level. The Porsche is one of the most recognized names in performance cars because they are so damn good at what they do.
1. 1991 Porsche 928 GT
This 911-based 928 GT is a perfect example of what happens when you take a big, heavy, and mostly forgotten sports car and give it a new lease on life. With a boosted 2.8-liter V8, rear-wheel drive, and a host of other mods, this car has the power and handling to give even the 959 a run for its money.
2. 2000 Porsche 996 Turbo
The good people built this car at Turbo Technics to be a time machine back to the late 1990s when Porsche produced some of the fastest and most powerful vehicles in its history. This car has been modified to produce an output of over 700 horsepower on 91 octanes. The wheels are a re-creation of the Turbo Wheel design from the original vehicle.
3. 2002 Porsche 911 GT3
This is one of the most modified 911s ever built, with a massive list of parts and pieces sourced worldwide. Behind the custom paint job is a car made to be driven hard on track days and comfortable enough for the daily commute. This car has a modified 4.0-liter engine that has produced upwards of 700 horsepower.
4. 2003 Porsche 996 Turbo
This car was built to be a daily driver that could also be taken out to the track for some reasonable old car control. The exterior is modified to look close to the original 996 Turbo but with updated wheels and tires. The 3.6-liter turbocharged engine has been tuned to produce over 600 horsepower.
5. 2005 Porsche 997 GT3
This GT3 was built by the Porsche specialists at Singer and is a perfect example of how a classic Porsche can be modified and improved simultaneously. The interior has been fully redesigned to keep the comfortable car while on the track, while the engine has been changed to produce an output of nearly 500 horsepower.
6. 2008 Porsche 911 GT2
This rare, one-year-only 911 GT2 is a perfect example of a car that turned heads when it was first released and is still considered a modern supercar by many. This GT2 has been upgraded to produce over 800 horsepower from its customarily aspirated 6-liter engine.
7. 2010 Porsche Boxster Spyder
The original Boxster Spyder was a low-production car that was a real head-turner. This modified version is even wilder. The exterior has been redesigned to be more modern and aggressive, while the interior has been stripped back with a roll cage and focused on functionality. The 6-cylinder engine has been tuned to produce over 500 horsepower, while the 6-speed manual transmission has been upgraded to be more reliable and durable.
8. 2012 Porsche 997 Turbo S PDK
This turbocharged 997 is a fascinating car because it’s a car that Porsche never built. This Turbo S PDK is a street-legal race car with a full roll cage, epic engine, and extreme fuel economy.
9. 2013 Porsche Cayman GTS
This car has been modified to be a track-ready car that can also be driven on the road. The suspension, wheels, tires, and interior have been stripped down to make the car lighter. The 3.4-liter engine has been tuned to produce over 400 horsepower, while the 6-speed manual transmission has been upgraded to handle the increased torque.
10. 2014 Porsche 911 Turbo S Exclusive Series
This unique 911 was built as a limited edition 911 that celebrates the 40th anniversary of the original 911 Turbo. It’s a modern take on the classic turbo car, with a new-found elegance and a style that makes it stand out from other Porsches. The engine has been upgraded to produce over 600 horses, while the transmission has been upgraded to be more responsive and sporty.
