The special edition Porsche 911 Dakar is equally at home on loose surfaces as it does on country roads. The exclusive model limited to 2,500 units globally demonstrates that the concept of the Porsche 911 knows almost no boundaries.
It harks back to the first overall Porsche victory at the 1984 Paris-Dakar Rally – which also represents the first use of the all-wheel drive system in a Porsche 911. To commemorate this achievement, the new 911 Dakar will be offered with an optional Rallye Design Package inspired by the iconic winning car of 1984.
The Porsche 992 Dakar is a high riding crossover coupe designed for off-roading. Its ride height is exactly 50mm higher than a 911 Carrera model equipped with Sport Suspension. Aside from that, the Dakar has a standard lift system that allows its front and rear to rise up by another 30mm — giving it a level of ride height and ramp-over angles that are similar to conventional SUVs we see on the road.
It has all-terrain Pirelli tyres with a tread depth of 9mm and were made using reinforced sidewall and two carcass layers — making them suitable for off-road trips. The Dakar is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo Boxer engine that makes 473 hp and 420 lb.-ft. and drives all four wheels. It also comes with different driving modes to provide you extra capability when driving off-road.
