911Motorsport is a family-run Porsche workshop near Antwerp, Belgium, where classic cars, modern performance models, and historic racing machinery are all part of daily life.

The workshop works on a wide range of Porsche models, from early 356s to modern 992-generation cars. Some arrive for routine servicing. Others need engine work, restoration, or preparation for time on track.

There is also a remarkable private collection in the building, including rare RS and RSR models, historic competition cars, and several Porsches with a strong connection to the family’s story.

During our visit, Maxim explained how the business developed, why the collection is meant to be driven, and how the relationship with Design911 helps the team keep customer projects moving.

How 911Motorsport Began

The story of 911Motorsport started around 25 years ago.

The workshop originally grew from the need to look after a private collection of Porsche cars. As other owners saw the work being carried out, they began asking whether the team could also help with their vehicles.

One job led to another, more people joined the team, and the business gradually expanded.

Today, 911Motorsport operates from a dedicated workshop space with multiple working ramps and a dyno facility. The team carries out servicing, repairs, and full restorations for customer cars.

The workshop covers a broad range of Porsche models, including air-cooled and water-cooled cars, as well as newer vehicles up to the 992 generation. Electric and hybrid cars are the exception.

For a specialist working across so many eras, access to the right components matters. Design911 supplies a broad range of Porsche parts for maintenance, restoration, and performance-focused work.

From the Porsche 356 to the 992

One of the most interesting things about 911Motorsport is the variety inside the workshop.

An early Porsche 356 can require a very different approach from a water-cooled 911 or a modern 992. Each car has its own history, mechanical needs, and intended use.

Some customers want to keep a road car in excellent condition. Others need help with a larger restoration or an engine rebuild. There are also owners preparing a Porsche for track days or race support.

That variety is part of what makes the workshop stand out.

It is not focused on one narrow period of Porsche history. Instead, the team works across generations while treating each car as an individual project.

Owners planning similar work can explore the Design911 range of Porsche service and repair parts, covering classic and modern models.

Rare Cars With a Family Connection

The collection at 911Motorsport has a clear focus on Porsche RS and RSR models.

One of the standout cars is an original 1967 Porsche 911 R. Only a small number were built, making it a particularly important car in the collection. The workshop also has a modern Porsche 911 R, creating a link between the original lightweight model and its later tribute.

Another car carries an even more personal story.

Maxim explained that his great-grandfather owned a yellow Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS Touring. After his death, the car was sold. Decades later, the family started searching for that exact Porsche and eventually found it in Portugal.

That detail says a lot about the collection.

These cars are not simply stored because they are valuable. Many of them have a history that connects directly to the family, the workshop, and years of Porsche ownership.

The team has also completed a full restoration of a Porsche 911 Carrera 2.7 RS Touring for a customer, returning the car to an exceptional standard.

For projects like this, finding the correct components is essential. Design911 stocks a range of Porsche restoration parts for owners and workshops, bringing classic cars back to their best.

A Collection Built to Be Used

The cars at 911Motorsport are not intended to sit still.

Historic motorsport has played an important part in the family’s story. Cars from the collection have appeared at circuits including Laguna Seca, Daytona, and Sebring. They have also taken part in European events such as Le Mans Classic.

Rallying is part of the picture, too.

The family has used cars at the Goodwood Festival of Speed rally stage, the Eifel Rally, and local events in Belgium. Some of these appearances are demonstrations rather than full competitive rallies, but the idea remains the same: the cars should be enjoyed.

Maxim is continuing that connection with motorsport. Alongside his role in the workshop, he races prototypes in a European championship while still enjoying time behind the wheel of historic cars.

It is a straightforward outlook. A Porsche can be rare, beautifully designed, and historically important, but it was still built to be driven.

Dyno Testing and Engine Work

One of the newest additions at 911Motorsport is the dyno facility.

For customers planning engine work, dyno testing can provide useful information before and after a rebuild. It gives the team a clearer picture of how a car is performing and provides data that would be difficult to gather from road driving alone.

This is not only about chasing the highest power figure.

For many owners, the goal is a car that starts properly, runs consistently, and feels right on the road. Dyno testing can help the workshop identify issues, measure improvements, and understand how an engine is responding after work has been completed.

Design911 offers a wide range of Porsche engine parts for routine maintenance, repairs, and more involved rebuild projects.

Track Weeks in Abbeville

911Motorsport also organises track weeks for customers at Abbeville in the north-east of France.

These take place twice a year, in April and September. The location is especially useful for UK-based Porsche owners because it is close to Calais, making the journey across the Channel relatively straightforward.

The workshop also provides track support for customers attending race events.

Preparing a Porsche for circuit use requires careful planning. Brakes, suspension, tyres, and engine performance all need to work together. The correct setup will depend on the model, the driver and whether the car is used mainly on the road, mainly on track, or for a combination of both.

Owners preparing their cars can explore the Design911 selection of Porsche performance parts for road and track applications.

Working With Design911

The relationship between 911Motorsport and Design911 has developed over several years.

Maxim explained that the workshop values the quality of the parts, the clear communication, and the long-term working relationship. For a specialist dealing with a broad mix of Porsche models, a reliable supply is an important part of the day-to-day operation.

A routine service, an engine rebuild, and a full restoration may all require very different components. Keeping those projects moving depends on finding the correct parts at the right time.

Design911 supports Porsche owners, trade customers, and independent workshops across the UK, Europe, and beyond.

Whether the job involves a classic 356, an air-cooled 911, a water-cooled model, or a newer performance car, the aim is simple: help keep more Porsche models on the road and on the track.

More Than a Porsche Workshop

There is a phrase shared on the family’s racing helmets:

“He who dies with the most toys wins.”

It is a light-hearted line, but it suits 911Motorsport.

The collection includes rare cars, historic cars, and models with a deeply personal connection to the family. However, the workshop never loses sight of why these cars matter.

They should be serviced properly, restored carefully, and driven whenever the opportunity arises.
