2. East Africa Safari

Despite being a legend on global roadways, Porsche has been known to take things off-road for quite some time. This 1978 911 ran in the East Africa Rally and has long-travel suspension, built bar, and locking rear differential. The car was reduced to bare essentials, save for an 110-liter fuel tank, it tipped the scales at just 2,635 lbs.

3. 912 Taking First

In 1967 the 912 was driven by Polish driver Sobieslaw Zasada, who drove a factory-loaned car to take the European Rally Championship for group 1 touring car series. In the 1967 Rally of Poland, Zasada drove the 912 to finish first overall out of 50 competitors. In 2012 the 912 took first in class and seventh overall at the London to Cape Town World Cup Rally. The grueling rally covers three continents, 14,000 kilometers and lasts about 26 driving days.

6. Transsyberia Rally

Driven by Spanish team Pau Soler and Laia, this Cayenne S was put through its paces during the 2008 Transsyberia Rally. The rally raid race is held in Siberia and is open only to street legal 4WD vehicles where the only mods done must be for the sake of safety. The changes that this Cayenne S had to go through for the competition are an enhanced Porsche TYraction Management to improve transverse lock, Dynamic Chassis Control, and Active Suspension Management.
