Emory Motorsports
has accustomed us with exquisite Porsche 356 builds over the years but the
California-based custom expert has now turned its attention to the 911 as well.
For its first-ever fully custom 911 project, Rod Emory used a 1968 Porsche 911
SWB as a starting point and then proceeded to make it “the perfect track and
rally weapon.” The design of the Emory Outlaw 911K, especially the livery, pays
homage to the 1968 Porsche 908-010 race car, one of the first closed-cockpit
works prototype cars.
Indeed, they do.
Emory’s slab-sided 911K retains the essential design language of Porsche’s
early works prototypes thanks to the sleek bullet-shaped body, amber fiberglass
dash cap, Porsche Light Ivory paint with signal yellow accent, and hand-painted
Mobil Pegasus on the fenders. Other exterior modifications include rally-style
auxiliary lights and air horns, mesh intake guards, a twin-grille decklid,
R-style decklid hinges, and R-style bumpers.
Inside, the 911K’s
main attraction is the 908-inspired front seats with fire-retardant Spanish Red
Veltex covers and Momo 5-point competition harnesses. The Momo-supplied
Prototipo steering wheel and shift knob continue the 1960s racing theme, with
the cabin also featuring a removable roll bar, lightweight door panels and
pulls, as well as leather window straps.
Power for the 911K
is supplied by a later 2.5-liter twin-plug 911 engine mated to a 901 five-speed
manual transmission. The naturally aspirated straight-six produces 190 hp thanks to an MSD brain and Weber 40IDA 3C carburetors. The engine also
features a 935 “flat” cooling fan and shroud, hand-laid amber fiberglass air
boxes, and a full-flow oil system with remote filter and cooler.
Stopping power
comes from upgraded brakes that feature 911 Salloy calipers with custom rotors
and hats while the grip is ensured by Pirelli CN36 tires mounted on custom
15×7-inch 5-spoke wheels by 1552 with Porsche 935 Carrera center lock hubs. The
suspension was given a fair share of attention as well and was designed with
track days in mind as it features 3-way fully-adjustable KW coil-over gas
shocks. The cost of the build has not been disclosed but it’s best that way,
believe us.
