New Porsche 911 Dakar! First Look at the Off-Road Rally Sports car!

Porsche’s worst kept secret of the last few years: the Off Road Sports Car. We’ve seen the “911 Safari” being tested around the world for a few years, and now it’s here and named after the 1984 Paris—Dakar rally win by Porsche, the starting point for AWD #911.
Limited to just 2500 units, it’s another special edition Porsche to add to the 992 roster.

Clearance is what it’s all about, and off road ability for slow and fast pace! At the standard level it’s 5cm higher than a base Carrera. It sits on a 4-corner lift system not unlike the Cross Turismo Taycan, which can be raised a further 3cm giving better clearance and approach angles, more similar to a 4x4. The 4 corner lift system is not just for clearance, but also part of the re-tuned suspension - for example focus on rally style driving! The High level setting can be used up to 107MPH, when you’re in the mood to do some mountain lap times.

The car can be optioned with specially developed Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tyres - Staggered at 245/45 R 19 at the front and 295/40 R 20 at the rear - The chunky tread pattern is nine millimetres deep and the reinforced sidewalls rest on two carcass plies making it resistant to tear.

The power for the #dakar comes from a familiar unit, the same power and engine tune as the 911 GTS. That means 480BHP, 570NM and a 0-60 of 3.5 seconds still!! Dynamic engine mounts and PDCC are standard as well as 8 speed PDK.

Rally mode is an extra mode, ideal for loose surfaces like gravel or sand, and makes the car more rear biased. So ideal for a blast up some dunes in Dubai or Morocco! Off road mode focuses on ground clearance action. What’s funny is the new launch which both of these modes have called “rally launch control” - which can handle launching in looser terrain with slippage of 20%!

Design is fun: New lightweight rear spoiler highlights, it’s made of CFRP. This is white in the rally spec, or plastic protected in the normal one. CFRP bonnet is stolen from the 911 GT3. But more interesting is the Unique front and rear body, with stainless steel plates on front back and sides for protection. Plastic trim on the widened arches like the Cross Turismo - and I love the Aluminium towing lugs on front and rear in red!

The roof rack is gorgeous. Designed as gorgeously as you’d imagine #Porsche to do. It can hold up to 42KG, and comes with a viable 12V slot for the lights. It has space for fuel and water canister, folding shovels, traction boards and even a Roof tent!!

Inside we have Bucket seats from the GT3 and rear seat delete. Also from GT3 is the lightweight glass, battery - Meaning it’s only 10kg heavier than a Carrera 4 GTS! That’s a good effort! Shade Green Metallic is a new shade, which you also get inside with the stitching in a matching colour.

Rally package gives you livery like the winning 84 car, gentian blue with white vinyl for the first time using extensive wrap on a porsche from factory. White wheels and wing, and Customers can choose a number on the side too. It is an additional 18k, on a car priced at 173K.
