They’ve extended the wheelbase by three inches and the track by 14 inches in this most capable, versatile, dual-sport air-cooled 911 on the planet. By developing a special front suspension system, they have managed to reduce the overall weight by approximately 400 pounds (181kg). At the same time, the Porsche Baja 911, which has Lexan racing windows, a set of hood-mounted LED rally lights, thick Toyo racing tires, a full roll cage, and huge fenders, is powered by a 3.8-liter engine designed by Rothsport Racing, providing 365 horsepower, 310 ft-lb (420Nm) of torque.
