Discount Dakar Dream: The Perilous Proposition Of A Budget Porsche 911 Safari Turbo
Tyler Hoovie takes the cut-price route to find out how much of an off-road 911 can you build for $40,000
Who needs a Porsche 911 Dakar when you can have the same amount of fun for a fraction of its eye-watering price? This is the question that Tyler Hoovie from Hoovie’s Garage YouTube channel set out to answer. While Safari 911s have been popular in the aftermarket for a while now (and cost a pretty penny), Porsche too caught up on the action with the 911 Dakar, a spectacular machine that was purpose-built to be taken off the beaten path. Unfortunately, it costs $225,000 before options and markup when new. They are also very rare since Porsche only made 2,500 examples.
