This left-hand drive Porsche 911 is a modified ‘forward date’ version of the classic sports car, with significant cosmetic and mechanical upgrades. Under the engine lid is now a 3.6-litre VarioRam flat-six from a 993 generation car, producing up to 282bhp in stock form, coupled to a five-speed manual transmission driving the rear wheels. The bodywork has been customised with a wide body kit, larger front and rear bumpers, and a substantial rear spoiler - giving it an appearance akin to a 964 Carrera RS. This 911 is finished in a vibrant yellow hue, and features ‘Carrera’ script along the flanks. In addition to the 964-style wide body kit, it also has quick-release pins for the bonnet and engine lid, aerodynamic wing mirrors, and clear indicator lenses. It rides on 17-inch split-rim alloy wheels, with grey painted spokes and polished rims. The wheels house upgraded brakes with GT3 specification rotors and callipers. While originally fitted with a 2.7-litre flat-six, this 911 has received an engine swap to a much more powerful air-cooled 3.6-litre VarioRam engine sourced from a 993. It has been further enhanced by a custom exhaust and extractors. The suspension has also been upgraded with new components. Inside, the front seats have been replaced with Sparco bucket seats trimmed in black and grey suede cloth, the rear seats have been deleted, and a harness bar has been installed. There is a Momo Champion three-spoke steering wheel, yellow instrument gauges, an aftermarket gear shifter, lightweight door cards with fabric pull straps, and electric windows. An aftermarket HVAC control unit is fitted, as well as an Alpine head unit. While there is no service history paperwork prior to the current ownership, there is a receipt for maintenance by DHM Automotive in mid-2021. A full roll cage and Porsche rubber kit will come with the car. The odometer displays 63,427 miles, but it is currently inoperative, so this is not an accurate total. There is no known prior bodywork damage. Its yellow paintwork is in fair condition, with some small marks and chips commensurate with road use. The front bar is reported to be a slightly different yellow colour to the rest of the body. In the cabin, there is minor wear to the driver’s seat outer bolster, but in general the interior is in very good order. Other than the faulty odometer, and a disconnected passenger window switch on the driver’s side, there are no known electrical faults. The gearbox reportedly needs two synchros replaced, but no other mechanical faults or foibles have been identified. The tyres are reported to have around 70% of their tread remaining. In mid-2021, DHM Automotive carried out a general service, inspected the gearbox and found the synchros issue, and replaced some incorrect parts. The seller states that the engine performs strongly, and that the car runs and drives as it should with the exception of the gearbox problem noted. This Porsche 911 Wide Body Evocation is an intriguing custom sports car, which has been transformed to resemble the famed 964 Carrera RS, and significantly upgraded with a 993-era VarioRam flat-six for impressive performance. For someone seeking a 911 with a difference, this ‘forward date’ car could be a great choice for weekend blasts, and perhaps even a basis for further modification.
