2023 Porsche 911 Dakar

Porsche commemorates its 1984 Paris-Dakar Rally win with the all-new 911 Dakar for the 2023 model year, outfitting it with a bespoke exterior kit, a 473-hp engine from the GTS, and rear-seat delete to save weight

Sufficient muscle with a 3.0-liter twin-turbo boxer-six

Derived from the Carrera 4 GTS, the 911 Dakar's 3.0-liter twin-turbo boxer-six produces 473 horsepower and 420 pound-feet to deliver 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds.

Limited production run promises extra exclusivity

Only 2,500 units will be produced worldwide, making the 911 Dakar a future collectible.

All-wheel drive system with specialized off-road modes

Porsche Traction Management system includes Rallye and Off-Road modes for optimized performance in various conditions.

All-terrain tires for versatile performance

Unlike other 911 models, the Dakar wears Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus tires to ensure drivers get enough traction on diverse surfaces without compromising on-road comfort but at the cost of higher road noise.

Impressive off-road capabilities with Dakar-specific PASM dampers

Porsche outfits the 911 Dakar with specially-tuned adaptive dampers and PDCC anti-roll bars to give it the right dynamics for conquering light terrain and rough surfaces.

Stainless steel underbody protectors for shielding mechanical components

The robust stainless steel skidplates and underbody protectors shield the drivetrain and other essential mechanical components from rocks and boulders during off-road sessions.

Optional Rallye Design Package pays homage to racing heritage

Two-tone paint scheme and gold lettering inspired by the 1984 Paris-Dakar Rally-winning Porsche 953.

Roof rack with LED light bar for extra practicality

A functional roof rack can carry up to 92 pounds of gear, with optional LED lights that optimize visibility during nighttime adventures.

Rear-seat delete for weight savings and roll cage for collision support

Removal of rear seats reduces weight and provides additional storage space for off-road equipment, while a steel roll cage provides extra support in case of rollovers.

Upright driving position and comfort with the adaptive sports seats

Offered as a no-cost upgrade, the 18-way adaptive sports seats with Race-Tex upholstery add a performance-focused look and provide a sportier driving position in adventures.

Enhanced maneuverability with rear-axle steering

The rear-axle steering system rotates the rear wheels in the same or opposite direction as the front wheels for improved low-speed maneuverability and high-speed agility.

Reliable stopping power with high-performance brakes

All four wheels have 13.77-inch ventilated rotors with six-piston front and four-piston rear calipers to deliver substantial stopping power during high-spirited driving sessions.

Improved nighttime visibility and styling with Matrix headlamps

The 911 Dakar's standard Matrix LED headlamps use the PDLS+ feature to properly illuminate dark roads to promise enhanced night-time visibility, while unique DRLs add a distinctive look.

Modern technology with a retro-inspired twist

The 911 Dakar features a semi-digital cluster, using an analog rev-meter and two seven-inch displays. A 10.9-inch touchscreen with wireless phone pairing serves for infotainment.

Aerodynamic enhancements for improved performance

Fixed rear spoiler and modified body elements optimize airflow, balancing off-road capability with on-road stability.
