Is This Low-Mileage Porsche 911 Dakar Overpriced Compared To The Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato?

A Well Kitted Out 911 Dakar

Finished in Porsche Factory Special Color of Metallic Shade Green and the optional $3,986 ’Rally 1971’ decorative sticker set, this 911 Dakar looks the business. To complete the look the owner has also optioned the Dakar-branded roof bin fitted with aux lights and accompanying accessories like jerry cans, off-road recovery boards, and a foldable Porsche-branded shovel. The roof rack is not just for show and is strong enough to hold a roof tent, which is also offered by Porsche for $7,029.

Interestingly the Dakar could also be optioned with a slightly more expensive Rallye Design package which featured vintage Blue And Gold Rothman’s Livery which cost an extra $28,500. However, the livery will not mention the name Rothman’s, instead reading Rough Roads - a sign of the times.

This particular Dakar has been listed on Car Gurus and has dropped in price by around $19,001, with a current asking price of $359,999. With only 2,500 units built, this one is serial number 1,626. This might seem high for a car that had a sticker price of $222,000, before options, but this seems to be the going rate for these cars on the low-mileage examples on the secondary car market. According to Classic.com the Dakar currently has an average price of $322,424.

Does The Sterrato Represent Better Value?

If you want something with more power you alternatively could opt for the blistering V-10 powered Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato, which also shows up on auction sites from time to time, and prices seem to be nearly similar. Now obviously, both cars drove very differently, but when it comes to valuations, when new, the Sterrato had a sticker price of $278,972. It’s funny how mildly used Dakar’s have already surpassed that figure. The average price for a used Sterrato currently sits at $334,500, which is just around $12k more than a Dakar.

Also, compared to the Dakar’s 2,500 units, Lamborghini only made 1,499 examples of the mid-engined Sterrato. This means it will be more exclusive in the long run. However, what needs to be seen if Porsche will continue to offer the Dakar moniker on future generations of the 911, as pointed out by Doug DeMuro in the video below. This would make it even more common, further diminishing its exclusivity and making this particular example seem like overkill at $360k. This may also explain why it hasn’t sold in the past two months where it was originally listed for $379,000.
