Commanding power on all surfaces
The three-litre biturbo six-cylinder with 480 PS (353 kW) and a maximum torque of 570 Newton metres
delivers superior performance with a compelling boxer sound. The new sports car sprints to 100 km/h in 3.4
seconds; due to the all-terrain tyres the top speed is limited to 240 km/h.
As standard, the engine comes with an eight-speed PDK and Porsche all-wheel drive. The standard
equipment also includes rear-axle steering, the engine mounts from the 911 GT3, and PDCC anti-roll
stabilisation. The interplay of all the components results in the 911 Dakar being just as dynamic on sand and
loose surfaces as it is on the Nürburgring Nordschleife. Maximum off-road performance is also ensured by two
new driving modes, which can be selected using the rotary switch on the steering wheel. Rallye mode is ideal
for loose, uneven surfaces and features rear-focused all-wheel drive. In off-road mode the high clearance is
activated automatically. This mode is designed for maximum traction on difficult terrain and on sand. Both of
the new driving modes also feature the new Rallye Launch Control, which enables impressive acceleration on
loose surfaces and allows wheel slippage of around 20 per cent.
Optionally with roof basket or roof tent as well as Porsche Design chronograph
Additional characteristic features of the 911 Dakar include the newly developed, fixed lightweight rear spoiler
made of CFRP and the CFRP front luggage compartment lid with striking air outlets taken from the 911 GT3.
There are also standard off-road details such as the red aluminium towing lugs at the front and back, the
widened wheel wells and sills and the stainless steel protective elements on the front, rear and side sills. The
side air intakes on the redesigned front end are also protected against flying rocks by stainless steel grilles.
The roof of the Porsche 911 Dakar features a visible 12-volt power outlet for the headlights of the optional roof
rack. With a capacity of 42 kilograms, the rack can accommodate rallying equipment such as fuel and water
canisters, folding shovels and traction boards without any problems. A roof tent is also available for the 911
Dakar.
In the interior, the 911 Dakar underscores its sporting ambitions with standard full bucket seats and the
omission of the rear seats. Lightweight glass and a lightweight battery reduce its weight further, enabling the
Porsche 911 Dakar to weigh in at just 1,605 kg – a mere 10 kg heavier than the 911 Carrera 4 GTS with PDK.
A defining feature of the Dakar interior is the standard Race-Tex surfaces with decorative stitching in Shade
Green, which is also exclusively available as a metallic exterior finish for the 911 Dakar. The Rallye Sport
Package with roll-over bar, six-point seat belts and fire extinguisher is optional.
Rallye Design Package with styling that echoes that of the 1984 Paris-Dakar-winning rallye car
At the heart of the optional Rallye Design Package from Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur is a two-tone paint
finish in White/Enzian Blue Metallic. This is the first time that Porsche has implemented the combination of
bi-colour paint and decorative foiling in series production. On the side of the vehicle, the customer can choose
an individual race number between 0 and 999. In addition to the rallye stripes in red and gold, the 911 Dakar
with Rallye Design Package, whose appearance is based on the winning vehicle of the 1984 Paris-Dakar
Rallye, also bears the "Roughroads" lettering on the doors. The term is a registered trademark and reflects
the concept of the 911 Dakar and its suitability for driving off-road. The white-painted rims and the red taillight
strip, in contrast to the standard vehicle, round off the distinctive appearance. Further highlights can be found
in the interior: Extended Race-Tex and leather surrounds as well as seat belts and accents in Sharkblue.
Porsche Design Chronograph
911 Dakar customers can exclusively order the Porsche Design Chronograph 1 ? 911 Dakar or the
Chronograph 1 ? 911 Dakar Rallye Design Edition to match the vehicle. For the first time, the housing is
made of particularly scratch-resistant and light titanium carbide.
The new Porsche 911 Dakar can be ordered now at a price of € 222,020 incl. VAT. The Rallye Design
Package costs 26,061 euros including VAT.
