Porsche is celebrating an extraordinary world premiere at the Los Angeles Auto Show: the new Porsche 911 Dakar is just as comfortable off-road as it is on the highway.
The first striking detail of the Porsche 911 Dakar is its ground clearance, which is 50 millimetres higher than that of a 911 Carrera with sports suspension. And the standard lift system can raise the front and rear ends an additional 30 millimetres.
The 911 Dakar is certainly capable of reaching its top speed. It uses a twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter flat-six engine making 473 horsepower – the same output found in the 911 GTS. It goes to all four wheels through Porsche’s eight-speed PDK gearbox, and with the help of launch control, it can reach 60 mph in 3.2 seconds and an electronicly limited top speed of 150 mph.
The exclusive model, limited to 2,500 units, not only shows that there are hardly any limits to the concept of the Porsche 911.
The 2023 Porsche 911 Dakar price starts at $223,450 including destination charges. It will arrive at US dealerships in the spring of 2023.
