Overview
This report details the modification of a Porsche 911, which was transformed into an 'urban safari' vehicle. The process involved an initial 3D scan of the car, followed by the integration of custom bodywork and a specific three-inch lift. The project was executed in Chicago.
Research Context
The transformation focuses on adapting a Porsche 911 for an 'urban safari' aesthetic and function. The key elements of this adaptation include altering the vehicle's height and exterior shell. The base model for this project is a Porsche 911.
Approach
The modification process commenced with a 3D scan of the Porsche 911. This digital capture served as the foundation for subsequent alterations. Following the scanning, custom bodywork was developed and applied to the vehicle. A significant mechanical alteration involved lifting the vehicle's chassis by three inches. The entire modification effort was undertaken in Chicago.
Findings
The modified Porsche 911 features custom bodywork that differentiates it from its original form. The vehicle's ground clearance has been increased by three inches. The resulting vehicle is described as an 'urban safari' adaptation. These modifications were carried out on a 3D-scanned Porsche 911 platform. The location of the build was Chicago.
Why This Matters
This project demonstrates a specific approach to vehicle customization, combining digital scanning with physical modifications to achieve a distinct aesthetic and functional outcome. The focus on an 'urban safari' transformation for a Porsche 911, executed in Chicago, highlights a particular niche in automotive design.
