Porsche 911 Dakar undergoes a testing program on gravel, sand, and snow
Porsche unveiled a very special variant of the iconic 911: the new Porsche 911 Dakar, at the Los Angeles Auto Show on November 16, 2022. This is the first two-door sports car from Porsche to offer off-road capabilities. The model’s name is a tribute to the first overall victory by Porsche in the Paris-Dakar rally in 1986, and it comes with an all-wheel-drive system for the first time in a 911. The development engineers around General Project Manager Achim Lamparter used the off-road proving grounds in Weissach, Germany, as well as in other extreme conditions to the tune of more than 300,000 miles, including more than 6,000 miles off-road.
