Exciting news for off-road enthusiasts – Porsche has showcased their continued brilliance with the introduction of the Porsche 911 Dakar! A modern tribute to the 953 that triumphed in the gruelling 1984 Paris-Dakar Rallye Raid, this modern tribute is based on the potent 992-generation Carrera 4 GTS.

This off-road-capable 911 boasts 487 hp, all-wheel drive, an 8-speed PDK transmission, and can go from 0 to 100 km/h in a thrilling 3.4 seconds – on tires made for unpaved terrain! With other thoughtful features such as 911 GT3 engine mounts, rear-axle steering, and a raised ride height; the Dakar has been hotly anticipated and is confidently making waves.

The aforementioned tires are a unique variant of Pirelli’s all-terrain Scorpion range, specifically designed with collaboration between Porsche and Pirelli. In a remarkable feat, a modified 911 C4S achieved the highest altitude ever reached by a vehicle (6734 m) in Chile this past December. With only 2500 units planned for production, the Porsche 911 Dakar is a captivating and incredibly fun off-road version of the iconic 911, and a true testament to Porsche’s relentless pursuit of excellence and honoring its hallowed history.
