2023 Porsche 911 Dakar is coming soon

After Lamborghini unveiled its off road car Huracan Sterrato, the last with ICE, Porsche announced the arrival of its all-road car, the Porsche 911 Dakar. The premiere will take place on November 16 at the LA Auto Show.

The car passed tests at the Nürburgring and final winter tests, and now it has arrived in the deserts of Morocco and Dubai. Test drivers and engineers were assisted on several occasions by the legendary German rally driver and Porsche ambassador for many years, Walter Röhrl.

The photos reveal that the Porsche 911 Dakar is not raised as much as the two test prototypes that recently reached the top of the highest volcano in the world, but it has a slightly higher suspension than the Carrera 4S on which it is based. The new front bumper, revised air intakes and fixed rear wing are just some of the novelties that the 911 Dakar has. At the rear there are round exhaust pipes and a one-piece light bar under the rear wing.

When it comes to the powertrain, Porsche has not announced technical details, but it is expected that the 911 Dakar will be powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged boxer 6 engine with 473 hp (348 kW) and 420 lb-ft (570 Nm) of torque. The same engine powers the Porsche Carrera 4 GTS. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 7-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed dual-clutch PDK.

Also, Porsche has decided to refresh several of its models such as the popular 911 Carrera and 911 (992) Cabriolet (as the 2024 model). Both cars will hit the market in 2023.

1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet sold for $60,000

2 Comments

Recently, there are more and more modified cars on the market, especially modifications of the legendary 911, and one of them was recently sold at auction for $60,000. It is a 1984 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet finished in silver with a green exterior wrap.

The car is powered by a 3.8-liter flat-6 engine with 780 hp (574 kW). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via the “G50” 5-speed manual transmission. As a reminder, the original model was powered by a 3.1L N/A flat-six engine with 228 hp (170 kW) and 209 lb-ft (284 Nm) of torque. The increase in power is achieved thanks to the Turbonetics T3 “Stage 3” twin-turbocharger kit. It is mounted on 18-inch HRE wheels.

The modified 911 Carrera Cabriolet is equipped with a steel wide-body kit, RUF emblem on the hood and decklid, aftermarket front and rear bumpers and headlights, soft top from a 1997 911, “Whale tail”, adjustable coilovers, Brembo brakes with yellow brake calipers, aluminum intercooler, Fuel Air Spark Technology twin-plug fuel injection system, Blitz tuning system and Tilton Engineering carbon clutch kit.

Inside, the front sports seats from a 996-generation 911 are upholstered in red leather with green wrap on the seatbacks. Red leather covers the rest of the interior as well. In front of the driver there is an aftermarket steering wheel and a boost gauge in the instrument cluster. There are also bright accelerator and brake pedal caps, aftermarket center console, aftermarket shift knob and rear-view camera.

The seller reported scratches and “paint repairs” under the wrap. Carfax’s history report begins in 1999 and has had no accidents since then, although it does contain a few gaps. It also shows that this Porsche was owned in California and Florida from 1999 to 2020.
