2015 911 Targa 4S Safari

Safari 911s are nothing new. Porsche has been racing and rallying 911s off-road since the model’s earliest years, from endurance events to full-blown rally competition. What is new is how the idea translated to street-driven builds over the past decade. That shift really accelerated as builders like Tuthill in the UK and Keen Project in the US began reimagining everything from early long-hood cars to 964s, 996s, and even modern 992s with lifted suspensions, reinforced chassis, and rally-inspired details. What started as a niche homage to Porsche’s motorsport history has grown into a full-blown movement, one that became mainstream enough for Porsche themselves to validate it with the 911 Dakar.

This 2015 911 Targa 4S Safari was built by Kelly Moss Motorsports as part of its “City Safari” conversion and was finished in Black over Black with 50,450 miles. The build included MCS custom two-way adjustable dampers, GT3-derived control arms, adjustable lower control arms, an electronic damping cancellation kit, upgraded thrust arm bushings, and Braid forged wheels. The result was a purpose-built, road-focused Safari-style Targa with a strong emphasis on suspension performance without compromising Porsche’s core dynamics.
