Meet Betim Berisha — founder of BBI Autosport, the Porsche tuning shop that’s been building some of the wildest air- and water-cooled 911s on the planet since 2006. In this episode of Creative Drive, Betim breaks down how a padlocked storage unit in Huntington Beach turned into an engineering powerhouse spanning powertrain, parts, and full chassis fabrication — and why his real obsession right now is Type 99, a coachbuilt, Pikes-Peak-bred 993 making 840hp and weighing just 2,610 lbs with a driver in the seat.
We talk Pikes Peak wins, losses, and near-disasters with Jeff Zwart and the BBI race team, the making of the infamous Hoonipig with Ken Block, and why Betim is now building a limited run of 50 street-legal versions of his personal dream car.
