THROWBACK THURSDAY: Speedhunters 'Spirit Of 147' Porsche 964

It’s almost time for SEMA 2017, and that makes ALL of us at Air Lift Performance very happy. Why? Well, for those of you living under rocks, SEMA is to the car tuning industry what the Super Bowl is to the NFL – it’s the biggest, most bad ass event on the calendar. Period!

However, with so many high-profile exhibitors attending the event, making an impact is no easy task. Sure, you could just buy a brand-new supercar, hack it up and paint it a wild color, but where’s the creativity in that? Getting attention for attention’s sake is weak – whatever you showcase at SEMA has to be uniquely cool, above all else.

Fast-forward our good friends at Speedhunters.com.

A few months prior to the show, we met up with the team to discuss the idea of having their Porsche 964 demo vehicle on display – a car that is currently running an Air Lift Performance suspension. Sounds good right? Unfortunately, the car looked a little… eclectic.

The 964 served its purpose in 2015 as the “hero” car in “Need For Speed,” but it also looked a little dated (especially considering it’d been on display @ SEMA 2015, too).

Luckily the Speedhunters team had similar concerns, and with just a few weeks until the shomw decided to embark on a massive transformation specifically for its unveiling on the Air Lift Performance SEMA stand. This was always going to be good!
