Yahoo Autos Spy photos of a high-riding Porsche 911 add fuel to Safari rumors
Spy photos of a new 911 prototype boasting a lift and a new spoiler design are re-igniting rumors that Porsche is working on a new rally-inspired Safari model.
We don't know much about this prototype apart from the fact that it boasts both an obvious lift and tires with conspicuously thick sidewalls. It's also wearing yet another unique spoiler design in a year already saturated with 911 prototypes defined by them. This new design seems to split the difference between the classic ducktail and whale tail spoilers that have adorned the rear-engined coupe over the decades.
It would be easy to dismiss a high-riding 911 prototype as a testbed for some for some other, not-yet-known model if it weren't for a couple of news items we discussed earlier in the year. For starters, renowned German tuner Gemballa is working on an overland-inspired 911, so the notion of a lifted variant of Porsche's icon is certainly on peoples' minds.
