Brock Keen has become a cult figure with his Instagram profile "996roadtrip". He takes his followers on an unprecedented camping adventure in a Porsche - at least metaphorically. His road trips, in which he combines his passion for sports cars with his love of the wilderness, are a sensation on social media - as is his unmistakable 996.

Keen's journey began when he chose a Porsche 996 as his everyday car. The Carrera 4S in Atlas Grey had just 96,000 kilometers on the clock when the young entrepreneur bought it from a friend's dealership in Oregon. He drove the 911 every day as planned, both for commuting and on longer trips to the mountains, where Keen and his wife regularly traveled to ski and snowboard. The four-wheel drive always proved to be practical.

However, the couple, who enjoy spending their free time in the great outdoors, were also regular customers. One day, Keen found a rooftop tent in the local camping store in Portland and bought it for his old Range Rover so that he and his wife could spend the night off the beaten track. Unfortunately, the tent could not be connected to the roof rails of the old SUV, but the roof rack that Keen had recently fitted to the 996 to transport their mountain bikes was a perfect fit.

Brock Keen has impressively demonstrated that a sports car is also suitable as an adventure vehicle. The American Keen has now covered over 200,000 kilometers in his Porsche and there are even more to come - the roof tent has been a permanent fixture ever since.
