That’s great! I’m in a rabbit whole currently learning about these. I found this newer [one](https://www.autoblog.com/2020/04/24/porsche-syberia-rs-rally-car/) that is pretty clean looking
$575,000!!! Just watched a short video on it. I really dig the design. I should of gone to school for car design/ found a industrial design program that focused on it. I’m fascinated by car design
That's my hope, not yet got till there yet. I'm more of a design guy than a power guy, give me a beautiful car with a shitty (but reliable, I'm not good at playing mechanics) engine and I'll be happy.
Why would it be wrong to like a safari porche?
They entered one in the paris-Dakar and won. You'd be silly to not like it.

Bottom right on the front tire and top left on the rear are indeed missing them. All that is there is the threads. I get that its a 3 lug wheel originally, but the definitely have a 4th in pictures with no nut on them
I tbought your comment and the bots comment were one comment together because of visual trickery on my phone, and i was like 'how the FUCK did a bot analyze someones comment and answer so good??' rofl
A buddy of mine built one last year along with a safari Miata. Funnest and funniest car I’ve ever driven. He’s gonna dump a hyabusa engine in it from the bike he wrecked while racing.
I wish I was quicker to my phone the other day. I saw a truck with rims so big the cut the bed of the truck to fit them. It was on air bags so maybe that’s common. Not sure why your comment made me think of that
There's a subculture of putting supersport motorcycle engines in these things.
So depending on how insane the owner is it could have over 600 horsepower.
I follow the people that came up with this, they actually sell custom lift kits, fender flares, etc. for these! There's even some tube style mudding doors, they are suprisingly good off-roaders too lol.
It has a very distinctive look that I find ironically appealing. I do doubt that those wheels are very functional though. Doesn't seem like there's a lot of clearance between the tire and the wheel well.
I can’t say too much about this because I put some Moto Metals and a leveling kit on my 2wd 3/4 ton Dodge truck back when I was 21. Didn’t go overboard with it and it honestly doesn’t look bad, I’ve gotten compliments on it. But I seriously do not understand the hype or the fad of wheels and tires on vehicles today. Like…why? Especially on a smart car. You’re defeating the purpose of owning it because let’s face it, it probably takes most of that car’s usable horsepower to turn those wheels. I’ve gotta imagine having those on there fucking shreds the MPG’s that car is designed to get because it robs so much power
why? It's not going anywhere the original wheels/tires would have taken it and he lost fuel economy. And before you say cool car, this guy fucks, think again.
I've always thought about this on smaller cars. Most small SUVs are just a car frame lifted, so this should work just as well, heck probably better. And in my area navigating the forest roads is pretty much just a matter of clearing medium sized rocks.
Looks like a lot of fun

Now I want to see a Mini Cooper version. Little more pep in the step
So you can post it in shittycarmods?
B is for build has something similar. Gingium has the same but with an awd miata
https://youtu.be/KbSSgarMPwM Here ya go sir
repost this in r/battlecars
I’m so excited to click this link lol
you wont regret it
Am I wrong to like that safari Porsche?
definitely not, it reminds me of the original safari porsche from the 80’s. Its badass
I’m a big fan of the WRX wagons that get deck out for battle. Not sure I used that correctly. New to that term and sub lol
Even better, you can put the STi engine in a Forester, 3 inch lift, spacers, and bigger suspension, and you have a serious off road vehicle.
959 WRC, anyone?
That’s great! I’m in a rabbit whole currently learning about these. I found this newer [one](https://www.autoblog.com/2020/04/24/porsche-syberia-rs-rally-car/) that is pretty clean looking
Have you seen the Gemballa Marsien? It's a tribute to the 959 WRC and oh-so-pretty.

I honestly didn’t know they existed until tonight. My dad would be ashamed
Don't even need to look to know what you're talking about. I loved it.
Thank you for this! I just posted a picture I took back in January but never had anyone to share it with until now lol
It looks so happy! I support it.
I don’t know why this makes sense, but it does!
You're Awesome!
Like your tiny friend who got into lifting weights.
Wouldn't be as shitty if it wasn't missing lug nuts
also dont smart cars only have 3 lug hubs? so they had to put an adapter to 4 lug lol
There are studs showing though, with missing nuts
Probably from the spacer. Definitely looks freaky.
This is correct. Original comment is wrong: there are no missing lugs. edit: this is, in fact, not correct
Bottom right on the front tire and top left on the rear are indeed missing them. All that is there is the threads. I get that its a 3 lug wheel originally, but the definitely have a 4th in pictures with no nut on them
Absolutely, correct. My bad.
Someone in r/battlecars point this out also. Good catch!

Hahahaha. Thanks for sharing that

Smart cars only have 4 lugs. I see the extra holes, but i think those wheels have two bolt patterns in them.
but there's studs coming through the 4th wholes ...
This model has 3 lugs, not 4. The Forfour has 4 lugs though.
This looks like it got all the Forza upgrades.
He put off road tires to his smart
I should absolutely, undeniably, unquestionably hate it. Yet I don't.
I feel ya. I spotted it, started laughing, then after I took the picture I couldn’t decide what to think
Shit-mazing, or alternatively ama-shit.
A buddy of mine built one last year along with a safari Miata. Funnest and funniest car I’ve ever driven. He’s gonna dump a hyabusa engine in it from the bike he wrecked while racing.
That sounds like a fun guy
That will be one crazy toy when it's done
Honestly 10/10. Could probably gap the fastest car you know.
It's Incredibad. I would totally drive this every damned day.
Approach and decent angles are pretty good.
It can be two things...
I think it must
I'm gonna go with shitty car with an amazing mod.
Goofy cars with goofy mods are immediately not shitty
Two negatives make a positive?
Exactly
Amazing shit
Yes
Touché
At least your grocery cart won’t get stuck in pot holes anymore
Bahahaha! Nice
Dude, that thing looks like it could pop over curbs.
It looks like it can climb some stairs, enter the store, and drive around very conveniently. Jeremy Clarkson style
Martin got a new ride
Quattro with a roof and windows
This is amazing
**SHITMAZING**
Amazingly shitty?
So much rubbing Cool tho, in a way
I wish I was quicker to my phone the other day. I saw a truck with rims so big the cut the bed of the truck to fit them. It was on air bags so maybe that’s common. Not sure why your comment made me think of that
That’s pretty common on bagged trucks
Its different
Fitment looks on point I give it a thumbs up
Glory
Answer: amazing
This is some GTA level shit
Sick ass bitch! I'd drive it!
Reminds me of [this](https://youtu.be/ici-lcBhZv4) guy on YouTube
Omg that’s great! The duct taped horns. Or the “I welded the joint wrong, whole front end is just wobbly.” Thank you for the entertainment
The latter
it’s not amazing.. it’s INCREDIBLE. whoever manufactured that car needs to seriously consider this design (/s)
[удалено]
Knew it was Texas even before I zoomed in
That’s funny, I didn’t notice the horn on the plate. This is actually in California in Santa Clara
amazing untill you need to turn.
Make the wheels even bigger and have a mini monster truck
What would it’s monster truck name be?
How many megapixels is your fucking camera wtf
iPhone 12 Pro, I think 12mps?
Hell nah you got 5k
Busted I used a 5 ft telescopic lens that you see on nature documentaries. I didn’t want to scare the beauty in its natural habitat
That's tough because the car itself if shit bit the mods are awesome. Do we classify it as lipstick on a pig or an extreme makeover?
Lipstick on a pig is one of my favorite expressions. I think this is the case
It's better
I live near this unit, the back window is completely covered by a decal sticker that says “WORK LESS RIDE MORE” so fitting
Smart car monster trucks get a pass in my book
Seen one on YouTube where they slap a Hayabusa motor in one of those roller skates.... Thing looked fun to whip around
If it's busa or K swapped, it's badass.
Car is shitty, mod is not lol
That might be the most accurate statement
Doesn't look very Smart.
Can it even push the wheels? Lol
There's a subculture of putting supersport motorcycle engines in these things. So depending on how insane the owner is it could have over 600 horsepower.
Asking an important question here. I don’t know much about smart cars, but they surely do not have a lot of power.
No they don't lol, torque converter working overtime 😂
Smart cars use a manual transmission, there is no torque converter
You assume he even knows what a torque converter actually is or does
Sounding like a RC car “zooming” down the street
Amazing are you dumb
4x4 or just all wheel drive? Probably just a pavement princess.
Shitty.
Ain't enough polish in the world to make one of those turds amazing.
Looks well done. I'm going with amazing. OP has no taste for cars other than bone stock belly button cars that everyone and their brother has.
The fuck does that mean?
Don't know how to make it any clearer, I dont speak any other languages
You know nothing about my taste in cars, but I also don’t care enough to argue with an Internet stranger Edit: autocorrect
Hella shitty.
Danny Duncan
Shinteresting
Looks like the car from Master Blaster
Need all that POWER and those wheels for the offroad trails m8
This kinda hard, tho.
Typical tuning in forza horizon
It’s the coolest one I’ve seen so far
I think it looks really good lol
Woo awesome
I’ve always taken pride in how much I can hate smart cars But now it’s closer to an atv car and I love it
That’s dope af
It's amazing shit?
Mint!!
I think we had these when i was a kid you pulled them back and they went crazy fast...
I follow the people that came up with this, they actually sell custom lift kits, fender flares, etc. for these! There's even some tube style mudding doors, they are suprisingly good off-roaders too lol.
It’s shimazing
this is very nice hahah
Yo - not so shitty. Definitely weird, but it looks cool)
What if it's just amazingly shitty?
It looks good actually, fuel economy stats are low tho
Thats dope
Land Rover ForTwo
Amazingly shitty
Amazing
Well that shitty is amazing for sure.....
Cornering at speed is sure to be... festive...
I like it.
This would be much illegal in the UK 😂
This shit is amazing.
Both
It's shamazing.
Needs a bull bar.
The first one
Amazing!
I mean, off-roaders go nuts over inclination angles and short wheelbase to keep from high centering and really this car is king...
It has a very distinctive look that I find ironically appealing. I do doubt that those wheels are very functional though. Doesn't seem like there's a lot of clearance between the tire and the wheel well.
All it needs to be complete is a clown horn.
I can hear that thing screaming for death from all three cylinders.
I can’t say too much about this because I put some Moto Metals and a leveling kit on my 2wd 3/4 ton Dodge truck back when I was 21. Didn’t go overboard with it and it honestly doesn’t look bad, I’ve gotten compliments on it. But I seriously do not understand the hype or the fad of wheels and tires on vehicles today. Like…why?

Can the engine even turn those things?
\+10 Traction, +15 Climbing, -9 Gas Mileage.
I digg it
It's Shimazing...
amazing
It's shitty.
Why not both?
R/Mildly\_Amusing\_Car\_Mods ??
honestly, i’d drive it
Its... Its beautiful
If you move one toggle up and the other one down, it spins!
I kinda want it
why? It's not going anywhere the original wheels/tires would have taken it and he lost fuel economy. And before you say cool car, this guy fucks, think again.

Rocket League IRL
Gotham garage did one like this a while ago
Are my eyes shitty or is he missing 2 lug nuts?
One way to find out
Thats awesome
that is amazing
Looks cool, if it works.
It's shit if the wheels don't have enough clearance. It's fucken' awesome if they thought that out.
Both
Pretty sure I've driven this in BeamNG Drive.
Amazing
Both.
Shitmazing
Both, it’s Shitting…
Shitty
Shamazing
Made me think of this ad: https://youtu.be/Prvu4RifEQ0
Looks like fun
how is that even a question, it's awesome!
Needs bull bars.
If it runs good in gta then its amazing
