The Porsche 911 Dakar is one of the most unusual and sought-after modern 911 models, combining the performance and everyday usability of the 992-generation Carrera 4 GTS with genuine off-road capability and a far more exclusive feel. Built as a tribute to Porsche’s 1984 Paris-Dakar rally victory, the Dakar features a raised ride height, specially developed suspension, all-terrain tyres and unique styling details that immediately set it apart from any other 911 on the road. Power comes from the 3.0-litre twin-turbo flat-six producing 473bhp, paired with four-wheel drive and Porsche’s superb PDK gearbox, giving the car huge real-world pace in all conditions.

What makes the Dakar so appealing is how different it feels compared to traditional high-performance 911 models. It still delivers the precision, quality and performance buyers expect from a modern Porsche, but with a much more relaxed and playful character that encourages you to actually use it. Lightweight glass, carbon bucket seats, Rallye driving modes and extensive use of weight-saving materials all add to the sense of occasion, while the limited production numbers make it one of the most collectible current-generation 911s. For buyers wanting something genuinely rare, usable and unlike anything else in the sports car market, the 911 Dakar occupies a category entirely of its own.
