Hot Wheels Design Director Bryan Benedict gives correspondent Laura Burstein a detailed walkaround tour of the 944 Turbo Safari car that was unveiled at Rennsport Reunion 7 - both the working full-size version and the Hot Wheels scale model. Hot Wheels and Sports Car Racing Driver Patrick Long collaborated on the project, and Patrick will be putting the 944 through its paces off-road in the near future. Before it heads off-road, Bryan and Laura co-drove the 944 in its shakedown run for the last Hot Wheels Legends Tour rally on October 7. Stay tuned for the rally portion of the video to learn how Bryan turned his fledgling automotive design career into a nearly two-decade gig with Hot Wheels.

Is it a turbo or non turbo ? Neat build good luck with it.
Turbo

I knew it would drive like a Pig when I saw those giant fog lights and steel plate right in the front of the radiator, Sema build for Rennsport?
Does the title, description, or video reference SEMA anywhere?
@@thedamonlowney Sema build in the sense that they take it to shows before it's done like 90% of SEMA builds, it is a known meme in the auto community.
Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. In that sense, yes, it was built for Rennsport and the mechanicals were not 100% finished by then. Any issues should be resolved by the time it starts to be used for actual off-roading, which I believe will start happening next year.
@@thedamonlowney I Love the looks, even tried to go the shooting brake way with my own 928 Safari build, but ended up going more the "pickup" style, keep in mind that suspension and cooling need to be 2, 3x more efficient than stock for off-road applications, a stock Porsche anything won't do the cut, that is why proper porsche safari builds cost so much, the mechanical side has to be buffed up so much to make it work right. people who try to "pose" as Safari soon meet their end in a trail somewhere.
