Porsche 911 SC Safari

Engine – 6-Zyl.Boxer

Horsepower – 250 hp (184 kW)

The East African Safari Rally pushes both drivers and cars to the limit. To compete successfully, Porsche modifies a 911 by reinforcing the chassis, making a thicker aluminum floor, and raising ground clearance to 28 centimeters. With the car well out in front, everything is running according to plan until the rear-axle link breaks off when Swedish driver Björn Waldegaard hits a boulder in sludge. As a result, the Porsche 911s finish second and fourth.
