The 911 is technically a “unibody”, but not in the sense that an old domestic car is. The rockers are far more substantial and are continuous from the rear engine mounts all the way to the front kick panels.
So no need for subframe connectors like in say, an early mustang.
In coupes, there is a break between the rockers and the front longitudinals, where there is basically just an inner fender well wall connecting them. This was sort of “torque-boxed” in the Targas and Cabriolets however.
So you could box this are in for some added strength and stiffness.
Rear shock tower reinforcement helps, as well as front strut tower brace with a diagonal. (3-point)
