Porsche Outlaws

"Get an inside look at the irreverent, rule-breaking subculture of hot rodded, or ""Outlaw,"" Porsches in this handsome volume featuring stunning photography and interviews with key players.

Porsche Outlaws is the in-depth story of the Porsche enthusiast subculture known as ""Outlaws"" and the modified 356, 911, 912, 914, 924, and 944 cars commonly hot rodded.


Being cool rarely means being ""correct."" And few other sports car genres better reflect that ethos than Porsche Outlaws. The enthusiasts and builders behind these modified Porsches defiantly toss out the rulebook along with the factory-correct parts. From custom paint jobs to modified chassis, engine swaps to racing interiors, rally replicas to historic racer tributes, Porsche Outlaws are about building your dream car. These enthusiasts live by the ""drive it, don't hide it"" credo and they've become one of the most popular sports car subcultures around the vaunted German marque.
Porsche Outlaws chronicles this rapidly growing Porsche cult. The cars are hot rods in every sense of the term, but the basis is a 356, 912, or 911 model rather than a 1932 Ford.
