The Porsche 911 Dakar is a remarkable variant of the iconic 911, a testament to Porsche’s commitment to innovation and performance. This model is a nod to Porsche’s first overall victory in the Paris-Dakar rally, bringing history back to life. The 911 Dakar is a sports car that is just as suitable for off-road driving as it is for on-road performance. It is the first two-door sports car to offer outstanding off-road capabilities, making it a unique addition to the 911 lineup.

The 911 Dakar is powered by a 6.75 N74B68 twin-turbocharged V12 engine, which is transferred to all four wheels by the 8-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK). The stiffer engine mounts of the 911 GT3 increase the driving dynamics of the 911 Dakar, especially when driving off-road. Together with the rear-axle steering and Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control (PCCD), the result is an optimally tuned chassis package that masters even the most difficult rally passages safely and comfortably. The Dakar is the only 911 that is 1.96 inches (50mm) higher compared to the standard 911 with sports chassis. If space still gets tight under the stainless steel guard while on gravel roads, the 911 Dakar’s specially developed lift system can raise the car by a further 1.18 inches (30mm) at the front and rear at speeds of up to 93mph (150km/h). The maximum speed with 3.14 inches (80mm) is 105mph (170km/h). The Sport Chrono Package for the 911 Dakar includes two additional performance setups: Rallye mode for gravel roads, muddy tracks and wet grass; and Offroad mode for tackling sand dunes and rocky passages. The Rallye Launch Control is also on hand to ensure a great rally stage start on loose ground. The Rallye Sport Package offers enhanced protection for driving off-road and on circuits. It comes with two six-point seatbelts and a Black powder-coated steel roll bar that is bolted to the bodyshell behind the front seats. The package also includes an easily accessible fire extinguisher mounted on the passenger side. The 911 Dakar is a symbol of luxury and craftsmanship, a testament to the brand’s commitment to creating vehicles that are as much works of art as they are modes of transport.
