Polish builder Indecent Vehicles has started taking orders for a conversion that gives the 991-generation Porsche 911 a shooting brake body. The work adds roughly $350,000 to the price of a donor car and sits on top of the company’s existing widebody package.
Within the 991.1 and 991.2 lines, you can choose from the Turbo, Turbo S, or GT2 RS versions. This first one began life as a 991.2 Turbo and featured a familiar twin-turbo 3.8-liter flat-six engine capable of producing 533 horsepower. Unless the owner specifically wants otherwise, power and engine layout remain unchanged.

The real job begins for the body as Indecent stretches the roofline to position it further back. In this case, they replace the conventional vented engine cover with a custom hatch that also serves as a tailgate and rear fender widening to complement the rest of the widebody treatment. The resulting car appears quite elegant, with a longer and more usable profile that is reminiscent of a smaller Panamera Sport Turismo while maintaining all of the proper 911 proportions. The good news is that rear passengers now have additional headroom, and storage space behind the seats has increased, allowing you to fit gear, luggage, or even a dog without sacrificing any of the fundamental 911 driving experience. Renders show the car looking slick in bright orange paint, with aftermarket wheels and a double rear spoiler that emphasizes the new design.
Designing the tailgate was a difficult task since it had to cope with airflow; after all, the flat-six engine is right back there, so Indecent had to come up with a new design that addressed the cooling needs that the original vented panel handled. With extensive experience with body mods on 991s, Indecent was well-positioned to resolve the issue while maintaining structural integrity and panel fit.
Each additional build following the prototype will take up to four months to complete. Indecent widebody projects already replace or mold practically all of the body panels save the front hood, top, and doors, thus the shooting brake conversion fits seamlessly into an established workflow. Of course, complete personalization is always a possibility. Owners can still choose from a variety of suspension, wheel, brake, and interior trim improvements, as well as power increases, all provided by the same crew.
Every finished car has its own unique serial number, and what this essentially means is taking that method one step further into a body design that many 911 owners have desired for years but have been unable to obtain from the manufacturer. The prototype is anticipated to be unveiled in public sometime next year, after which anyone with a convenient donor car and a hefty budget can place an order for their own.
