When it comes to classic Porsche’s, none capture the hearts of many quite like the Porsche 944 and 924. The pop-up headlight masterpieces are often seen as some of the greatest cars the German company made, but it's difficult to imagine how they could be in fact even greater, perhaps. Well, Austrian company Vagabund has now revealed its rather cool Safari version of the 944 and 924, taking inspiration from all the various Porsche 911 Safari’s that we have seen over the years. This though is on a whole new level.
A Whole New Ball Game For The 944/924
Porsche is of course renowned for these special Safari cars, as are external companies, and this looks set to be one of the very best. The company bills the 944 as the highlight, but the 924 is equally special, and it will get offered to the 1975 to 1991 model years for the cars, and the price of the upgrades will be around the $10,800 mark. The modification involves lifting the car some 40+ mm from the ground, as well as adding a revised rear axle with new spring plates and a full axle conversion with new, custom parts.
Porsche 944 Safari: A Variety Of Custom Parts
These custom parts include specific and new shock absorbers, as well as five off-road tires, which are either Maxxis Trepador or Bridgestone Dueler A/T tires of the 205/70/15 variety. The fifth, spare tire is available with either a telephone or cookie cutter design, and the customer can have the rims in either black or gold stripping and powder coating. That spare tire also can get mounted onto the roof rack of the Porsche for that classic Safari appearance. At the front of the car, there will be a multitude of HELLA Rallye 1000 or Comet 500 lamps on a comprehensive light bank, again adding to the Safari feel.
Porsche 944 Safari: A Sensational And Evocative Conversion
There are some other options for the car that you can order. A Safari 944/924 option is an aluminum skid plate, hydraulic handbrake, studded tires as well as a limited-slip differential. These are just a few of the options that you can get with your Porsche 944/924 Safari. Vagabund also offers a Safari livery design kit for the car with UV-resistant stickers, and even a custom Vagabund horn button for the Porsche and a Momo steering wheel. It's safe to say there are a lot of options for this Porsche.
