GTS power, GT3 carbon, Carrera T glass... and a roof-mounted power outlet for spotlights. Here's a 911 like no other.
Built ostensibly to celebrate the first all-wheel drive 911 - the 953 that won the Paris Dakar in 1984 - and also, presumably, because it’s a really cool idea, the Dakar is described as demonstrating ‘the possibilities of the Porsche 911 concept’. It’s powered byversion of the 3.0-litre twin-turbo flat six, meaning 480hp and 420lb ft. With the eight-speed PDK and four-wheel drive standard, a 911 Dakar will reach 62mph in just 3.
Not least because it looks brilliant on them, ride height raised by 50mm over a Carrera S and with a four-corner lift that can jack it up another 30mm. Porsche says this offers ‘ground clearance and ramp angles which rival those of more conventional off-road vehicles’, which ought to make for an interesting video or two. And it’s not merely for rock-crawling, either, as the Dakar can run in its ‘high level’ mode at up to 106mph for the full rally raid experience.
The Dakar cherry picks some of the best bits from the 911 range for what promises to be an awesome driving experience. It has the rear-wheel steer and dynamic engine mounts fromas standard, as well as Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control anti-roll. Note as well a rear spoiler of carbon reinforced plastic, a bonnet made of the same plus a two-seat cabin for the full rally car vibe.
The green car seen here is painted Shade Green, a new colour that’ll be exclusive to the Dakar. But that’s unlikely to be the focus from launch, however good it looks, because Dakar customers will also be offered a Rally Design Package for £18k. Intended to evoke the iconic Rothmans 953, it combines white and Gentian Blue paint with red and gold decorative stripes, plus the customer’s choice of a number between 1 and 999 on the door.
Best move fast if you’re keen, as there’ll be just 2,500 Dakars available globally. In the UK, it’s going to cost £173,000, making it more expensive than even a 911 Turbo S - and just £5k less
