Overview

Safari Projek was born from a love for Porsches and a hunger for adventure — and this one-of-a-kind build is the result.

Starting life as a 2003 Porsche 996 Carrera 4S, it was transformed into a Safari Projek rally-inspired machine, created by Johan de Bruyn and Phillip Visser, blending Porsche precision with off-road engineering.

What makes it special?

• Chassis & Suspension: Bespoke Safari Projek setup with Reiger shock absorbers, 7075 aircraft-grade aluminium components, chrome-moly rod ends, widened front track (+120mm), and ~200mm wheel travel.

• Protection: Full underbody aluminium skid plates (polyurethane coated), aluminium bash bumpers front and rear, and integrated inserts for serious off-road capability.

• Performance: Original 3.6L flat-six enhanced with performance headers and a custom decat exhaust system, delivering a thrilling soundtrack through centre-exit tips.

• Drivetrain: 6-speed gearbox with a Quaife limited-slip differential for stability on gravel and tarmac.

• Exterior: Finished in Martini Racing #18 livery with gloss orange accents, ducktail wing, aftermarket front & rear lights, 2x frog spotlights, roof rack with Thule basket, and satin black Fuchs-style 17” wheels with Falken tyres.

• Interior: Black leather with black stitching, retaining Porsche ergonomics but toughened for rally use.

Mileage & Paperwork:

• Low mileage since the transformation.

• All paperwork in order and up to date.

This is not just a Porsche. It’s a bespoke adventure machine, hand-built in South Africa, and the only one of its kind. Whether you’re carving through gravel backroads, showing it off at events, or just enjoying the sheer absurdity of a lifted 996 Carrera 4S, this Safari Projek Porsche is guaranteed to make a statement.
