What do you get when you strip back a classic 1978 Porsche 911 and rebuild it into a one-of-a-kind marvel? That'd be the 'Raw Porsche'

To add media hype about VB Raw, the new and low-carbohydrate beer produced from Australia's top-selling brewing company Victoria Bitter, the company collaborated with artist/designer Paul Begg and stripped a Porsche 911 classic down to sheet metal and completely rebuilt the speedster, promising a "raw classic" like the brew.

Like ourselves, the team over at Rallyebild.de tend to get a bit excited about Porsche Rallye events. We hope that you do, too, and if so, then this video is for you. The team strive to cover every Porsche Rallye event in Germany that they can, in addition to hitting the Czech Republic and Poland circuits.

Rallyebild are a team of three individuals, one photographer and two videographers, who love and respect everything Porsche. If you feel the same, read on, because we have the 2009 Rallye specs for you, right down to the car color and driver. Take a look at their video. It was a heart-pounding experience for everyone present. Wish we could have been there!

Some info about the cars.

The Red and Orange Porsche

Olaf Dobberkau was driving this impressive machine. In Germany, Dobberkau is known as Dr. Drift and for good reason! This incredible driver won the prestigious Sachsen-Rallye, which culminated in the first Porsche victory in its class in 26 years. Learn more about Dobberkau at www.prorally.de

The White and Red Porsche

Matthias Kahle, the six-time Germany Rally Champion, was driving this insane machine. His car has a sequential gearbox. He drove an ‘08 Porsche on gravel for the Lausitz Rallye, but since the Porsche doesn’t have gravel tires he had to put on snow tires. Learn more at www.kahle-motorsport.de

The Yellow and Green Porsche

This crazy car was driven by Raphael Ramonat. Don’t forget that he sold his Porsche to Denmark-born Lark Kraugh. This Porsche became the first Porsche Rally in Denmark. You can see more at www.escobar-racing.dk

The White and Orange Porsche

Give it up for Heinz-Walter! This incredible driver won the Championship back in 1976 and is back again, at the age of 66, to compete again. We take our hats off to this amazing driver and his awesome Porsche!

Each of these Porsche’s, we’d like to mention, have M&M Exhaust Systems. Take a look at www.m-m-germany.de .

The Black Porsche

This car was driven by Anton Werner, who was the first to bring Porsches to the rallying scene. He started his 2010 season with a 997 gearbox.

The Green/White/Gray

Maik Stolzel drove this crazy ride. This man was the first to introduce us to the 997 sequential gearbox to the Porsche driving scene. Before he drove this car he had the Skota Octavia WRC, as many of you may remember.

"It was a wild race and we loved every minute of it. We captured all that we could for your enjoyment, so take a look at our video on You Tube. The cars were powerful and the drivers were in full control of their incredibly insane machines.

They burned up the courses, proving what a Porsche can do when allowed outside of the norm! Rock on!"

We know that you’re craving more, so we’re going to give it to you. If you want to see more, or learn more, you can take a look at these websites:

We know that you get as excited about the world of Porsche rally racing as we do!

So what does everyone think? Can you imagine a 997 in the WRC?

Not much I can say about this car that has not already been said. This video is awesome though!

Porsche has released details of the final 911 variant it will be showcasing at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show later this month.

Limited in production to just 250 cars, the 911 Sport Classic marks Porsche’s return to a tradition of occasionally issuing ultra-exclusive, small-series production cars.
