Rod Emory's team has been in the custom Porsche business for a while. So when a customer asked them to go beyond the "Outlaw" style they invented more than two decades ago, they knew exactly what to grab: The all-wheel drive system from a 1990 Carrera 4, and a laser scanner.

Merging the 356 Coupé body with the much more modern Carrera 4's chassis took four years in total. Emory Motorsports somehow managed to keep the 356's short wheelbase while using the 911's suspension pickup points, now sporting adjustable KW coilovers.

Torque delivery is adjustable both front-to-rear and side-to-side, with manual dials controlling modern differentials. Power comes from a 200-horsepower Emory-Rothsport Outlaw-4, an air-cooled 2.4-liter flat-four with dual Weber 48 IDA carburetors, connected to the 964's standard five-speed gearbox. Because, c'mon, a 356 just needs a boxer four-cylinder.

Behind those yellow-tinted headlights, this wild 356 sports plenty of Emory's hot-rod styling cues, like a flattened hood and louvered decklid. The roof rack is made of titanium, mounted to the drip rails by 3D-printed clamps (made not unlike Bugatti's wild brake calipers). Talk about dedication.

Details like that mean the whole thing weighs just 2150 lbs. Good luck finding another all-wheel drive Porsche that's this light.

The final touch was giving this machine a name, and we love what they came up with: Allrad.

With this all-wheel-drive 356 done and ready for the ski resorts of the East Coast, Emory Motorsports can turn its full attention to the development of the Emory RS, the wildest Porsche 356 we can't wait to see (and hear) at full tilt. Just look at this thing!
