Since registering as a manufacturer in the late 1970s the creations of Alois Ruf have avoided, at a legal level, being Porsche 911s. Though they may look like 911s, often sound quite like 911s, are made of 911 parts, and probably even smell like 911s the pfolks from Pfeffenhausen are distinct from those in Stuttgart. Since launching their carbon …

Protecting a 911 Safari with XPEL Film and Ceramic Coatings
We love Leh Keen's Safari 911s. In keeping with our belief that the 911 is a perfect all-rounder, lifting one and fitting knobby tires seems to take nothing from the experience. Mr. Keen's cars are brilliant, and Matt Farah's personal car is one of the most interesting of the lot. Farah's Safari is finished in Cassis Red, a rather polarizing and …

We all remember the season when Brumos left the racing world, but did you know that a little bit of good came out of that? That's right, Leh Keen's "The Keen Project" first kicked-off during his hiatus from motorsport when he was between teams. When the legendary Florida team discontinued their Grand Am GT program, Leh started building a backdated …

Safari 911s are very much in vogue right now. Of course, 911s behave rather well on loose surfaces, so it's only appropriate. Matt Farah is having one built by Leh Keen, who has built more than a few of them. This 964 Carrera 4-based Safari build is among the wildest we've seen so far. Now, Instagram user Trialpsycho_RC is bringing us the smallest …

Are you a fan of Rally Porsches? Ok, stupid question. Who isn't? What was it that first drew you to them? For Jim Goodlett it was the introduction of Hot Wheels. Jim says, "they literally transported me out of the house, and had me imagining a world where "slideways" was the only way you drove." Jim looks at a Rally car as a conversation starter …

If only we had a true build-sheet for this car. We've posted this 911 before, and the previous YouTube posting described the car as stock. Closer inspection reveals that the car has been lifted slightly, the door panels removed and a roll hoop fitted. In any case, this 911 looks much less modified than Leh Keen's Safari 911s. While the 911's …

While the cockpit of a 911 GT3RS might be the "office" for Leh Keen, he is no stranger to offroading. In the latest video from eGarage, Leh hustles an Ariel Nomad around Fox Creek Ranch in Northern California. This beautifully shot video includes not just Leh sliding a Nomad in the sand, but a chase down a runway worthy of a spaghetti …

For years we've been teased with short clips from Tuthill's time at the East African Safari Classic Rally, but now they've finally unveiled the full video. We won't belabor the point that it took them over three years to actually release the film, because it is beautifully shot, wonderfully edited, and contains some of our favorite Porsches being …

911s have been successfully winning Rallys since the '60s. However, only recently has the idea of converting a modern, road-going 911 to an off-road, rally aping 911 really gone main stream. I'm not sure who to give credit to for its current popularity, but Leh Keen's creations have garnered a lot of attention as has the 'LuftAuto Safari 911' …
