Porsche Restoration Challenge

Welcome to the official home of our 2025 Restoration Challenge project. This year, we’re taking on a bold and exciting transformation — turning a classic Cayenne into a rugged, off-road-ready icon. Follow along as we share each phase of the building, from the planning table to the open road.

Milestone 1: Project Planning & Introduction

Our journey begins with a vision and a team.

Meet the team working on restoring our cayenne, learn more about our vehicle and build concept and check out the initial state of our vehicle before we begin restoration.

Milestone 2: Mechanical Refresh

Full service. Total refresh. From oil changes and spark plugs to full brake, engine, and suspension updates — we’re bringing this Porsche back to peak performance. Follow along as the team discusses our mechanical refresh on the 2009 Cayenne S.

Milestone 3: Design & Customization

Witness the full transformation of this incredible custom build from start to finish. In this video, we showcase the before-and-after moments and key milestones that brought this project to life.

Milestone 4: Project Reveal

The wait is over! Our Porsche Cayenne S build is complete. What started as a vision for a rugged, off-road-ready Cayenne became a story of creativity, craftsmanship, and resilience. Along the way, we faced an unexpected challenge when a delivery van struck the vehicle, forcing us to repair and reimagine certain elements before the big reveal.

Milestone 5: Into the Wild

The moment we have all been waiting for. Join us as we take our restored 2009 Porsche Cayenne S into the breathtaking Okanagan landscape. We showcase the adventurous spirit of our build with lifestyle moments featuring our team biking, camping, and exploring the Okanagan.

This Cayenne isn’t just a vehicle — it’s been reimagined as the ultimate off-road, adventure sports, and camping machine. Thank you for tagging along on this journey with us.
