It is special because it is the first production Porsche 911 with offroad capabilities.

You may be wondering why we are lying on the floor of this study. Well, because today we bring you something very special, a very ‘offroad’ product. And you already know that ground clearance plays a very important role. And also some good wheels, with a lot of profile, of course, like these ones here. The car we are talking about today is very special, it brings many new features and much to comment on. Porsche 911 Dakar, a GTS with more ground clearance and ability to surf dunes.

And we say that it is special because it is the first production Porsche 911 with offroad skills. We introduce you to the new 911 Dakar. Before we get into the technological fancy of the raised chassis, which as we have said plays an important role in offroad cars, let’s start with the design. But we already anticipate that not everything is design in the Dakar, like paint, but many elements fulfill a function. For example, this red aluminum ring, which is the first thing that catches your eye when you look at the nose for the first time. And further down we see a protective steel lining, which in many SUVs is decorative, but here it does have a function.

And the connoisseurs will have already recognized that it has the hood of the GT3, with the characteristic air vents. And just like in the GT3 it’s carbon, and here’s something specific to the Dakar: the grille on the air intakes. Because when you drive ‘offroad’ or in rallies, stones and dirt fly out, so they are protected with metal grills so that the conduit does not get clogged.

Let’s move on to the plastic linings that increase their width on the Dakar, like these in the wheel arches, in black, to protect them. And we see a threshold that is once again protected by steel, so that everything is focused on the off-road. About the painting, it is inspired by the winning vehicle of the Paris Dakar in 1984, a Porsche 911 that had just this paint. They are the colors of Rothmans, but today there is no tobacco advertising, luckily, and that is why Porsche has decided to put a new inscription: “Roughroads”, which means wild roads.
