Every Porsche Collector’s Dream: The Hardest-to-Find 911s

The Porsche 911 has been turning heads since 1964. Over the decades, it has evolved from a nimble rear-engined sports car into one of the most respected performance machines in the world.

Throughout its long history, the Porsche 911 has produced a few models so rare, they’ve become automotive lore. Some were created for racing, others as limited-edition tributes or lightweight experiments. A few were built for just one customer.

What Happens When You Run a Truck With Twin Engines

Welcome to WhistlinDiesel HQ - this is the final progress update on MonsterMax 2, the world’s largest fully functioning pickup. We synced two diesel engines and two transmissions with a custom TCM “brain,” laid down semi-truck air brakes that lock all four tires, tested rear-steer, and proved it’ll cruise and climb with real throttle left. Then reality checked us: driveline angles bound up, a fan relay cooked our temps, and the top-heavy “missiles” tried to saw a tire in half. We learned a ton (bigger sway bar, weight down low, limit straps, better cooling), spit a few bolts, pressure-washed a muddy shop, and somehow still drove it like a real truck. Next time you see MM2, it’ll be lighter, cooler, and meaner. Subscribe if you like impractical progress made the hard way.
