Three Great Alternatives To The Porsche 911 Dakar - Storyboard

With a 911 Dakar costing a pretty penny in the collector car market, we explore three worthy alternatives

Elephant Designs do comprehensive Safari conversions for classic G-body 911s

The California-based company's Safari kit includes a 4-inch suspension lift, turning any 911 G body into a proper homage to the 953 Dakar

Matt Farah's example recently listed his 911 Safari for $300,000, but the price depends on what the customer wants

Elephant Racing also adds Braid wheels, wrapped in off-road tires and skid plates all around

Russel Built Fab is another California-based company modifying classic 911s

The company's latest build is the Safari Sportsman, which is based on a 964 Turbo

The Baja 500 race suspension allows for 10 inches of suspension travel

The modified 964 also features a slightly longer wheelbase than the standard car

A roll-cage compliments the externally-mounted, carbon-fiber roof rack that carries the spare, Toyo all-terrain tire

The price for Russeb Built Fab's 964 Safari Sportsman conversion costs $135,000 minus the donor car

Five Nine Design's vision of a 992 Dakar is based on a 992.1 Carrera 2

The build includes a coil-over suspension that gets you ground clearance similar to the 992 Dakar's 7.52 inches

Aside from the obligatory off-road accessories, performance has been bumped through a new software, air-intakes, and exhaust

The price for these 992 builds depends solely on the desire to own one - the last one was auctioned for $138,000
