The Porsche 911 Dakar is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive interpretations of the iconic 911 ever created. Limited to just 2,500 examples worldwide, it combines Porsche’s motorsport heritage with an entirely new approach to the legendary rear-engined sports car.
Its story dates back to 1984, when René Metge and Dominique Lemoyne secured Porsche’s first overall victory in the Paris-Dakar Rally behind the wheel of the Porsche 953. This remarkable achievement not only demonstrated the 911’s versatility but also marked an important milestone in the development of all-wheel drive for the model. Nearly four decades later, the 911 Dakar pays tribute to this historic success.
This particular example is presented in the iconic Rallye Design Package, combining White and Gentian Blue Metallic with distinctive red and gold accents. Inspired by the victorious 1984 rally car, this specification also marked a significant first for Porsche, introducing a two-tone paint finish combined with decorative graphics on a series-production model.
Beyond its striking appearance, the 911 Dakar has been engineered to perform far beyond conventional roads. Its specially developed suspension provides up to 80 mm of additional ground clearance compared to a standard 911 Carrera, while dedicated Rallye and Offroad driving modes allow it to tackle challenging surfaces with remarkable confidence. Powered by a 3.0-litre twin-turbocharged flat-six producing 480 PS, paired with an eight-speed PDK transmission and all-wheel drive, it retains the performance and driving character expected from a Porsche 911.
Further enhancing its adventurous character, this example is equipped with Porsche’s dedicated roof rack featuring integrated LED lighting, accompanied by expedition accessories including fuel canisters, recovery boards and a folding shovel. These carefully integrated elements underline the Dakar’s unique philosophy, where genuine off-road capability meets Porsche’s renowned engineering precision.
The interior is finished in black Race-Tex, complemented by exclusive details including illuminated carbon-fibre door sills and Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur appointments.
First registered in Belgium on 25 June 2024 and supplied new through Porsche Centre Liège, this example has remained with its original owner and has covered just 41 kilometres since delivery.
Numbered 947 of just 2,500 examples produced worldwide, this Porsche 911 Dakar represents a particularly attractive opportunity to acquire an exceptionally low-mileage example in one of its most recognisable and historically significant configurations.
