Today, the name Abarth is synonymous with Fiat, but more than sixty years ago, the Turin-based company was responsible for transforming the aging Porsche 356 into a state-of-the-art racecar, a design that would later inspire the legendary 911.
Unlike most mainstream automakers, Porsche sold only one model at a time for many decades. The 356 was the company's sole model from 1948 to 1964, while the 911 was the only streetcar available from 1965 to 1969 when the 914 joined the lineup. But that doesn't mean the Stuttgart crew did not experiment with various ideas.
The automotive world is changing at a rapid pace, and a global switch to electric cars seems not only inevitable but fast approaching, especially when talking about mainstream carmakers.
Partly based on a shelved Le Mans racing car and using a naturally aspirated V10 that had been originally conceived for a stillborn Formula 1 project back in the early 1990s, the Porsche Carrera GT was a legendary car even before it was officially unveiled.
A short while ago, we showed you an off-road capable modified Porsche Cayenne that surely had all the aesthetics of a great 4x4. But that was positively civilized compared to what we have for you now. Feast your eyes on this bold and striking modded 2006 Cayenne S.
