The Porsche 911 has a proud history as a legit off-road competitor, from winning Dakar back in 1984 to climbing the world’s tallest volcano just last week. But that competitive history has been just that: competition 911s built to task for professional drivers on official off-road courses, tracks and factory-backed missions, mostly in decades long past. Now, in an unprecedented move, Porsche has introduced the 911 Dakar, a limited-edition road-legal 911 sports off-roader meant to rally or overland the day away in the hands of a regular owner before rolling up fashionably late to a five-star dinner … after a quick run through the car wash, of course.

PORSCHE 911 DAKAR
Porsche has unveiled the long-awaited 911 Dakar,
a 473bhp off-roading beast. We love this, partially because it is just
cool looking and partially because it drives automotive purists up the
wall. Limited to just 2,500 units worldwide, the mighty Porsche 911
Dakar is powered by a 3.0L Biturbo six-cylinder with 480 PS (473 HP) and
max torque of 570 Nm (420 lb-ft) and mated to an eight-speed PDK and
Porsche all-wheel-drive. Paying tribute to its victory at the 1984
Paris-Dakar Rally, the all-terrain machine goes from 0-60 in just 3.2
seconds and it will hit a limited top speed of 150 mph. Other features
include a height-adjustable suspension that offers 6.3 inches of ground
clearance, Porsche Traction Management all-wheel-drive, rear-axle
steering, chunky Pirelli off-road tires, a fixed rear spoiler, a CFRP
hood from the GT3, aluminum tow hooks, flared fender arches and rocker
panels, and a roof basket with an integrated light bar that can hold up to
92 lbs of cargo and accessories. watch the video below
