2024 Porsche 991.1 Carrera Off-Road Review: The Ultimate Off-Road Porsche

In their latest video, the lads from TheStraightPipes take on the 2024 Porsche 991.1 Carrera, but this is no ordinary Carrera. No, this is a beastly off-road version, complete with rally launch control mode. And let me tell you, this thing is an absolute hoot to drive.

With 473 horsepower and 420 lb-ft of torque from its 3.0L twin-turbo 6-cylinder boxer engine, this Porsche means business. And business it does, as the team quickly realizes that this is their favorite Porsche of all time. Yes, you heard that right. This off-road 911 has won over their hearts.

From its eye-catching rough roads livery to its attention-grabbing roof rack with an integrated LED light bar, this Porsche is a head-turner. And let's not forget the optional mud flaps, because what off-roader is complete without them? The team also praises the Continental VikingContact 7 tires, perfect for tackling winter conditions.

But it's not just about the looks. This off-road Carrera comes with a suspension lift and a hydraulic nose lift system, making it a capable off-roader. And with rally mode, it's even more fun, providing a rear-biased setup for some sideways action. The lads can't help but gush about the car's interior features, from the Alcantara dash with blue stitching to the numbered plaque that reminds you just how special this Porsche is.

With a price starting at $247,200 Canadian, this off-road 911 may not come cheap, but for the experience it offers, it's worth every penny. The team can't help but express their desire to own one themselves, and they even suggest that Porsche should consider making an off-road GTS model as a regular production car. And honestly, I can't blame them. This off-road 911 is a true gem, and it's got me itching to get behind the wheel.
