Porsche Tequipment is expanding their accessory lineup to include a roof tent for your 911.

Porsche may be known for its iconic sports cars, racing, and recent popular SUVs. But the brand also is known for having passionate and active customers who like to use their German vehicles to their fullest potential. A whole community even developed around early Porsche Cayenne models to embrace and share modification methods to take them off-roading. One Porsche not necessarily known for going off the beaten path is the 911, though Porsche may be suggesting otherwise, and no, we're not talking about the 911 Safari.

Porsche Tequipment, the brand's accessory division, has revealed a new roof mounted tent for customers. This special tent is designed to fit a wide range of models from the Cayenne and Macan SUVs to the Taycan and Panamera. Though the model that may be a bit unexpected on this list is the 911. The Porsche 911 is already pitched as an everyday sports car with its 2 + 2 seating arrangement and optional all-wheel drive. Though fit the 911 coupe with the roof cross bars and you can unlock an entirely new meaning to the 911's capabilities.

This new tent accessory is rather spacious as well, measuring 82.6 inches long and 51.5 inches wide. The tent also features two windows and a built-in polyfoam mattress. The tent is also waterproof, features insect guards, and has a covered entrance. As it is mounted on the roof, the tent can collapse into a hard covered aerodynamic shell and is lockable. You are able to select a few different colors as long as its black and light grey or black and dark grey.

Coming in at $4,989, the tent offers a unique option to adventurous 911 owners though it does come with one downside as it limits the top speed to just 81 MPH. Porsche will expand their foray into camping with later products such as an inner tent, heated blankets, and more.

Back in 2010, the LFA carried a base price of $375,000

Back in 2020, there were 12 brand-new LFA cars in Lexus dealerships.

It is fast, overengineered and it sounds amazing.
