2023 Porsche 911 Dakar - Storyboard

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.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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