Porsche 914 Safari Hot Wheels Guide: DIY Kit, Wheels & Builds

The Porsche 914 Safari has become a popular small-scale custom subject because the lifted rally look transforms the low, mid-engine 914 into an off-road-inspired build. Muncle Mikes currently carries both a DIY Porsche 914 Safari custom kit and loose Hot Wheels versions.

What is a Porsche 914 Safari?

“Safari” is commonly used for Porsche-inspired off-road or rally-style builds with added ride height, tougher-looking wheels and tires, and a more adventurous stance. In die-cast form, the same visual idea makes the 914 stand out from a standard road-car release.

Porsche 914 Safari Hot Wheels options at Muncle Mikes

Muncle Mikes currently has an active DIY 914 Safari kit, plus loose Porsche 914 Safari cars in multiple colors. The DIY version is intended for customizers who want to create their own finish, wheel setup and stance.

Choosing Porsche 914 wheels

If you are customizing a 914 Safari, wheel diameter and tire clearance matter. Larger off-road-looking tires can create the Safari appearance, but the axle width and body clearance still need to fit the casting.

DIY kit vs. finished car

Choose the DIY kit if you want the project itself. Choose a loose or finished car if you mainly want a display piece. The DIY route gives you more control over paint, wheels and final stance.
