    So what exactly is a Safari Car, and why are they so awesome? Today, we dive into the world of these silly cars and learn for ourselves. I actually now have the urge to build one, one day...
    As always, thanks for watching, and leave a comment below letting me know what you think about this video.
    Until next time, peace!

    Safari Cars are like rally cars but for travelling, having fun and everyday use instead of racing. They are modified for offroading but not as much as offoad cars and things like the engine stay stock in most cases. :D

    That Safari Bentley is real, it was built for and used on the Amazon Prime show, The Grand Tour.

    Would have been nice to shine a light on the original “Safari” cars that competed in rally’s like the East Africa Safari and Dakar.

      Great point! Perhaps if I do a review on one of these cars one day, I’ll have to make that reference to close the loop.

      @@velocitycrew ye old rally raid cars really fit the definition of what a modern "safari car" build is but you can really see inspirations from many offroad racers in many builds

    Why a safari car? Fun! It's all about the smiles per mile. I live in northern NV on a dirt road. There are thousands of miles of dirt roads in NV and bombing around them in a safari car is a blast. I have an old cheap C3 Corvette and plan to do the safari treatment to it. It's an L48 car so not a ton of HP (in stock form) but a lot of torque with an automatic transmission so great for kicking the back end loose around the corners. I'm also going to do rally cross events which is another thing safari cars can do.

    I was considering doing this to my Acura RSX. I'm pretty sure I could use 2002-2006 CRV/Element struts to lift it as well as a few other things.

    so the term safari car as we are using it here is completely different and unrelated from the other kind of safari car. the safari car that we are thinking of is a very specific kind of rally car (at least to start) this stems from rally safari Kenya. the toughest event on the historical WRC calendar. for the event, the cars were given armour and lifts not present at any other event just to survive the race. over the years they have been cartoonized by the likes of kelly moss and others. for a "pure" safari car look at the Tuthill Porsche rally cars they take to the safari Kenya today. the biggest problem with most safari cars you will see that people have built is they have no roll cage or chassis stiffening, they have no underbody protection, and they have the wrong kind of tyres and wheels. now we are seeing people use K034's (don't get me wrong they're great tyres and I had them on my 911 too, they're just more oriented to slow speed and technical off-roading) instead of gravel racing tyres. the roof racks are also another modern addition, and again I did and occasionally do still have one on my road 911, but typically you do not want the weight up high, and you definitely do not want to put tyres on the roof as if you do roll over you will not only suffer the damage from the roll but you will also lose all your spares. by the way im not knocking your video, its great, i just happen to specialize in this and have a little extra context to add

    Why wouldn't or shouldn't it work it's no different from lifting the suspension on any truck or SUV with the only real drawbacks being road noise ride quality and fuel mileage which is what sport coupes and sedans are really made for but if you buy or build a vehicle just for off road fun than those things really don't matter I really love the looks of these things and actual off road functionality is a great bonus I totally want one

    its simple physics, a tall heavy suv chassis does many things worse than a car chassis does. fuel economy, handling, acceleration, braking, cog, aero etc. just because we want some ground clearance we have to deal with all those disadvantages?
    no thanks.
