This is the Porsche 911 Dakar – an off-road version of one of the world’s most famous sports cars! It certainly looks special, but is it any good? Deputy Reviews Editor NeilBWinn has been finding out -
Named the 911 Dakar , Porsche has essentially stripped down a ‘regular’ 911 Carrera 4 GTS to prepare it for a life of off-road abuse. The most obvious change is the 50mm lift in the ride height, which can be raised to 80mm at the push of a button, just in case you’ve got yourself beached on a sand dune.
It looks pretty special too. And that’s before you’ve started exploring options. Porsche will sell you everything from an official roof tent to a range of rally-inspired liveries. In fact, Porsche reckons that the £18,500 ‘Rallye Design Package’ fitted to our test car, channelling an iconic livery worn by its race and rally cars in the 1980s, will be taken up by 75% of customers.As we mentioned earlier, the Dakar is based on the Carrera 4 GTS, and it shares that car’s 473bhp 3.
Well, the first thing you have to do is select the aptly named ‘Offroad mode’. This raises the car to its highest ride-height setting and splits all that grunt evenly between the front and rear wheels in order to maximise traction. In this mode Porsche claims that the 911 can take on the same size off-road obstacles as the Cayenne SUV can, not that you’d ever know from behind the wheel.
