PRESS RELEASE

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

The Porsche 911 Dakar nameplate was revived in 2022 as an homage to the legendary 911 953 rally car that was victorious in the Paris to Dakar rally in 1984. Based on the 992.1 Carrera 4 GTS, the modern reincarnation of the Dakar has been modified to venture off the pavement. Upgrades from the factory include an adaptive lifted suspension which gives it 6.3 inches of ground clearance (with an additional lift of 1.2 inches), chunkier Pirelli Scorpion All-Terrain Tires, and metal skid plates which help protect the underside on rough terrain. As for propulsion, the Dakar carries over the engine from the Carrera 4 GTS, a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six making 473 horsepower and 420 pound-feet of torque. The transmission of the Dakar is an 8-speed PDK automatic sending power to all four wheels.

Only 2,500 units were made and all of them were sold as soon as it came out. Understandably, these cars demand exorbitant prices on the secondary market. An extremely low mileage 2024 example (165 miles) has been listed on Car Gurus for $359,999. Not bad for a car which originally would have cost around $250,000.

  • Only 2500 units were built - of which this Porsche 911 Dakar is number 1626
  • The initial cost of this car, before options and markup, was around $222,000.
  • Based on the Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS.

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.

Highlights

  • Metallic Shade Green Porsche Special Color with ’Rally 71’ sticker set.

  • Standard Carbon-Fiber Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) lightweight bucket seats.

  • Dakar branded roof bin with aux lights and accessories

  • Low mileage: Only 165 Miles
