Unveiled at the 2022 Los Angeles Auto Show, the limited-edition Porsche 911 Dakar pays homage to the iconic 1984 Porsche 953 Carrera 4×4, which competed in the Paris-Dakar Rally. Based on the Carrera 4 GTS, the 911 Dakar comes with off-road-focused modifications such as higher ground clearance, all-terrain tires, unique driving modes, and weight-reducing features.
This particular 911 Dakar, offered for sale on Bring A Trailer with only 144 miles on the odometer, features a striking White and Gentian Blue Metallic finish as part of the Rallye Design Package, an add-on valued at over $32k. The color scheme and decorative Gold and Red stripes pay tribute to the original 1984 Porsche 953, while the car rides on White 19”/20” 911 Dakar wheels.
Exterior features unique to the 911 Dakar include stainless-steel front and rear skid plates, a carbon-fiber hood with stainless-steel vents, a fixed rear spoiler, 911 Dakar puddle lamps, black rocker panels with inset stainless-steel guard plates, and lightweight glass. Black wheel-arch extensions, red tow hooks, silver Exclusive Design tailpipes, LED headlights, fog lights, and carbon-fiber window triangles complete the design.
Inside, carbon-fiber bucket seats with black leather and microsuede inserts feature “911” embroidery, blue seatbelts, and coordinated stitching throughout. Additional amenities include a Burmester sound system, fire extinguisher, aluminum pedals, Surround View, cruise control, automatic climate control, and Porsche Communication Management with navigation.
Powering the 911 Dakar is a twin-turbo 3.0-liter flat-six engine producing 473 HP, managed through an 8-speed PDK transmission with all-wheel drive. Enhanced for off-road use, the Dakar features a 50mm-lifted Porsche Active Suspension Management, front and rear axle lift, Porsche Dynamic Chassis Control, and Off-Road mode, allowing it to reach 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds with a ground clearance of up to 6.3 inches.
