959 Ruf & Gemballa reimagine the iconic 959 Dakar


The Porsche 959 is a sports car manufactured Porsche from 1986 to 1993, first as a Group B rally car and later as a road legal production car designed to satisfy FIA homologation regulations requiring at least 200 units be produced.
Thought that Gemballa looked interesting...

Seems it's a collaboration between Ruf and Mark Gemballa.

From the article:

As well as a dramatic visual overhaul, the 911 Turbo S has been treated to extra power, with Ruf taking the output of its six-cylinder, twin-turbocharged flat-six up from 650 to over 750 horsepower. Torque is up from 800Nm to 930Nm. As well as building Project Sandbox, the companies are also offering those power upgrades for every conventional example of 992 Turbo and Turbo S.

Marc Philipp Gemballa plans to host the world premiere of the Project Sandbox vehicle in the spring of 2021, and claims demand is “already very high”. Production of customer cars is scheduled to begin later this year. The conversion is priced from €500,000 plus tax, shipping and a 992 Turbo S donor car.

Was not able to watch this with the volume on, but it looks like rhey did quick work turning this into a rolling, functional machine. Looks good in motion.

A 992-generation 911 Turbo S created for desert running courtesy of a generous 250-mm (9.8-inch) ground clearance in off-road mode or 120 mm (4.7 in) in on-road mode. It features a full carbon fiber body.
750PS
830PS
and 930Nm (upgraded VTG turbochargers and a remapped ECU)
Akrapovič titanium exhaust
Road: 20/21-inch centerlock forged wheels with performance Michelin tires
Off-Road: 19/20-inch forged wheels in all-terrain tires

Top speed: 330Km/h and 210Km/h(off-road)

Drop the ride height, replace the rearview mirrors with those from the serial 992, mount "road" tires and 21" rims and paint the skirts and aerobits in body colour and this would be an excellent revival of the iconic 959.
