The extensive exterior modifications remain subtle and flow seamlessly with the body lines of this 958, which is arguably a far less off-road-friendly vehicle than the first-generation Cayenne (at least design-wise).

Toggle958 Off-road Build
Europe loves diesel cars for their efficiency and low end torque, so it’s not a wonder that many Cayennes sold in this part of the world are powered by this type of the engines. This partiular 2010 Cayenne 958 is equipped with a VW-derived V6 TDI turbo diesel engine that provides 240HP in the stock form and max torque of 405.66 lb.-ft. as low as 2000 RPM which is just right for the off-road use.
Suspension Lift
The suspension lift forms the base of any off-road build, and this 958 is no exception. To improve ground clearance and create more room in the wheel wells for larger tires, Roni installed a set of custom coilovers with a Eurowise 2.5″ lift kit. This allowed him to dial in the handling and level out the car accordingly.

Wheels
There was absolutely no chance for the stock road tires to remain, and they were swapped with a beefy all-terrain set right after the suspension work was completed. As a longtime 911 owner and Porsche enthusiast, Roni’s wheel choice fell on quite an interesting option for an off-road build – a staggered set of 991 Sport Classic rims sized 20×9 front and super-wide 20×12 on the rear. But his background in racing explains it all – a cool Easter egg for a Porsche aficionado.
Exterior
The exterior is where things get even more interesting about this build. It’s full of subtle upgrades that may not be easy to spot but make all the difference. The front Turbo bumper and rear 958.2 bumpers were trimmed and modified to improve the crucial approach and departure angles, which significantly boost the off-road capabilities of this Cayenne.

They aren’t just cut or replaced by tubes or bent metal; they’re molded to integrate seamlessly with the body lines of the 958, creating a unique and elegant design.
Up front is a set of 4 off-road driving lights mounted on the light bar, a hood bra designed to protect against the elements, and Turbo exclusive fender extensions.
Interior
Inside, the Porsche racing heritage theme continues with a 991 GT3 steering wheel (with paddle shifters) and the stylish 917 Tribute shifter.
