The 2023 Porsche 911 Dakar is laugh-out-loud fun in the sand:
—is literally the 911 Dakar's sandbox. It makes sense, because the 911 Dakar is essentially a quarter-million-dollar dune buggy that's based on the mighty Carrera 4 GTS instead of a Volkswagen Beetle.
Another incongruous element in all of this is the interior, which, despite tasteful Dakar touches and trim choices, never misses a chance to remind that you're still in a 911. The microsuede-wrapped steering wheel is one example: The wheel is in so much constant motion as you saw through the sand that the top-center hash mark seems laughably pointless. Ditto the one-piece carbon race buckets, which beat you up like a boxing opponent when you're bouncing around out there.
To this, the Dakar has one final ace up its sleeve: increased static ride height, plus a farther 1.2-inch suspension lift. Automatically deployed in Offroad mode and manually selectable in other modes, the system raises the Dakar's belly from a healthy 6.3 inches of standard clearance to 7.5 inches of maximum clearance. The 911's short 96.5-inch wheelbase translates that into a respectable 19.0-degree breakover angle, which is firmly in crossover SUV territory.
