Only 2,500 Porsche 911 copies
Porsche 911 Dakar – We’ve been talking regarding it for 2 weeks, and finally Porsche has put an end to the suspense by presenting the world premiere of the new 911 Dakar at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
This one, offered in only 2,500 copies, should be as comfortable on the road as in off-road conditions.
This model from the Exclusive Manufaktur department pays tribute to Porsche’s first victory (the first 911 with all-wheel drive) in the general classification of the Paris-Dakar rally in 1984.
This Porsche 911 is distinguished at first glance by its ground clearance raised by 50 mm compared to a 911 Carrera. This “High level” setting is available up to a speed of 170 km/h.
Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires have been developed specifically for this model (size 245/45 ZR 19 at the front and 295/40 ZR 20 at the rear).
Fender flares and widened side skirts are present as well as special steel protection elements located at the front, rear and on the sides.
The 3.0L 6-cylinder biturbo engine develops 480 hp (353 kW) for a maximum torque of 570 Nm. This block is associated as standard with an 8-speed PDK gearbox and Porsche all-wheel drive favoring propulsion.

Standard equipment also includes rear-wheel steering and the PDCC active roll stabilization system.
Of course, the 0 to 100 km/h takes 3.4′ for a top speed, limited due to its off-road tires, of 240 km/h.
So this Porsche Dakar shows 1,605 kg on the scale. The optional Rallye Design Pack includes a two-tone White/Gentian Blue metallic exterior color as well as Red and Gold decorative strips, as well as the “Roughroads” badge on its doors.
Porsche 911 Dakar is already available to order at a price of 226,689 euros including tax. The Rallye design pack is offered at a price of 26,280 €.
