A Full Breakdown of Our Off-Road Porsche 957 Build
What happens when you take Porsche heritage, rally grit, and off-road performance — and cram it all into a first-gen Cayenne? You get Big Spicy.
This isn’t just a lifted SUV. It’s a love letter to Porsche’s past — a tribute build that pulls inspiration from classic Safari 911s, desert rally icons, and Stuttgart engineering gone rogue. Watch the full breakdown below to see what sets Big Spicy apart from every other Cayenne on the road… or
off it.
What Makes Big Spicy a Tribute, Not Just a Build
This Cayenne doesn’t just perform — it tells a story. One rooted in Porsche’s off-road legacy, reimagined through modern parts and outlaw vision.
True Beadlock Wheels with Fuchs-Inspired Styling
We didn’t just want function — we wanted form that calls back to Porsche’s golden era. These custom beadlocks feature a modern take on the legendary Fuchs wheel design, tying the build visually to vintage 911s while providing real off-road performance. Yes, they’re actual beadlocks — not just for show.
35-Inch Off-Road Tires
Big tires, big grip. We pushed the limit with 35s, giving the Cayenne the kind of aggressive stance and clearance needed for real off-road work. Tamed with geometry tweaks, fender mods, and trail-tested dialing-in.
Custom Exhaust
Hand-built for tone and clearance, the exhaust note growls just enough to raise eyebrows — but refined enough to stay Porsche. It’s the right blend of outlaw performance and road-trip friendly rumble.
Hood-Mounted Hella Pod Lights — A Nod to Safari 911s
Nothing screams rally-ready like a set of Hella pod lights mounted right to the hood. Inspired by classic Safari 911 builds, these functional lights are a visual cue to Porsche’s motorsport heritage and a practical tool for low-visibility trail runs.
Lift Kit
The suspension has been fully overhauled with upgraded components, delivering a commanding ride height and trail-ready articulation.
Modular Roof Rack Setup
Mounted gear, tools, and utility without losing the silhouette. Designed for versatility, overland trips, and keeping the essentials above the chaos.
🛠 Why the 957 Cayenne?
The 2008–2010 Porsche Cayenne (957) offers the sweet spot: a low-range transfer case, mechanical diffs, and enough raw potential to be molded into something wild. While most overlook it as just another luxury SUV, we saw a blank canvas for something spicier.
